Whether you are a young child starting your first class, an adult looking to improve your fitness or a student working towards a black belt, Jiwan will support and motivate you throughout your journey.
His philosophy
Progress
with purpose.
Every achievement matters to Jiwan. Learning a new kick, earning a belt or gaining the confidence to try something difficult are all important steps forward. He encourages students to learn from mistakes, believe in their abilities and take pride in their progress.
As Head Coach, Jiwan aims to create a friendly and supportive environment where students and families feel welcome. His goal is to help students develop skills and values they can use both inside and outside the training hall.
Gurkhas Taekwondo Australia is affiliated with Australian Taekwondo. With Jiwan’s guidance, students can work towards their personal goals in fitness, self-defence, grading and competition while enjoying being part of a positive community.
