International Taekwon-Do is the largest individual style of martial art in New Zealand. We are one small part of a vast word-wide organisation.
Taekwon-Do stands for the Art of the Hand and Foot.
International Taekwon-Do has 14 New Zealand Masters (two Grand Masters, five 8th Dans and nine 7th Dans) and over 90 clubs New Zealand wide.

International Taekwon-Do
Kerikeri Taekwon-Do is a member club of International Taekwon-Do Foundation of New Zealand Inc (ITKD). ITKD is very much a “family” organisation, having grown from a few small clubs in Palmerston North and Wellington in the early 1970s. These clubs produced black belts that in turn started new clubs, and the organisation grew. Today we have around 90 schools nationwide.
International Taekwon-Do was first registered in New Zealand as an Incorporated Society in 1981 and is today recognised as a “National Sporting Organisation” by Sport New Zealand. Each and every year since then International Taekwon-Do has run regional and National Tournaments for its members, as well as hundreds of other events. It is recongnised by the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF).
In recent years our competitors have made huge impact on the international tournament scene and were placed first at the ITF World Championships hosted in Wellington, 2011 and again at the ITF World Cup in Sydney 2018.
