Master Vernon Low arrived in Australia in the late 1960’s after earning his Black Belt in Singapore. During Master Low’s university studies he commenced teaching TaeKwonDo at the Adelaide Y.M.C.A. centre. He was the first TaeKwonDo instructor to introduce the Korean martial art to the South Australian public; hence our schools name FIRST TaeKwonDo. When one of Master Low’s Adelaide student’s, Dane Meade later moved to Perth, the First TaeKwonDo organisation expanded into Western Australia and the Academy now has over 40 training centre locations in SA & WA.
Master Low is dedicated to all his students continued TaeKwonDo development and committed in ensuring the traditional martial arts standards of the school are preserved. As such he travels to Perth every 3 month to personally conduct very comprehensive grading tests for all his students (White Belt beginners to 5 Dan Black Belt) that have been assessed by their Instructors as ready to apply for their next belt promotion. Not all students are ready to grade every 3 months as most senior coloured belt ranks only grading every 6 to 12 months. This way Master Low ensures the First TaeKwonDo School remains true to its traditional but progressive core values.
