Master Justin Warren Celebrates 25 years In Martial Arts By Being Selected As Australian Team Trainer For Jnr World Championships

Taekwondo Central Head Instructor Justin Warren achieved a milestone in his own Taekwondo Career by being called up as coach at the next 2012 Junior World Championships in Egypt.  Justin was considered for the position after student Jayme-Lee Smith made the Australian Team and with the past achievements of Jasmine Klumpp (Australian & Commonwealth Taekwondo Champion) adding to his selection.

Master Warren adds to the milestone with his own personal 25 years of Martial Arts anniversary coming up just after Easter. He walked into a Taekwondo school at 15 yrs of age wanting to learn to protect himself from a bully. That moment ended up being the biggest changing moment of his life and has shaped his character and living ever since. That day Justin found his life purpose.  One day can change your life!

Justin is a very proud Australian. He represented his Country during his Taekwondo Sparring Days and is now to represent Australia as a coach, which he sees as a huge honour.  To earn the spot during the same time as his 25 years of martial arts just makes it sweeter. Justin feels that he is very lucky to have the opportunity and very thankful.  Master Warren is a life long student of the Martial Arts

entered the Full Time Academy

Aravind is a Martial Arts movie enthusiast who has learned many of his skills by mirroring the stars of the screen
and tranfered that into amazing skills and ability which made the Centrals Instructors job very easy.

Aravinds standard is so high we have got him in sparring the Blackbelts where he hold his own against the
clubs best

“We are so proud to have in our team” said Head Instructor Justin Warren. Not only his Martial Arts skill
but also his discipline, personality and mannerism will take him along way in the Taekwondo arena.

Aravind is now looking at grading to Yellow 3 Stripe (7th Gup) at the end of January as part of the January Summer Holiday Program
and has expressed interest in stepping into the Tournament scene in 2012. We wish him the best of luck in his future Martial Arts achievements

at a December Blackbelt grading with some 80 other State wide Blackbelts

the high level in Taekwondo Centrals Blackbelt Pool

Ajana Plunkett was one of the highest scorers for the day, and we were very happy with the
students behavior, effort, attitude and addaptability to change,
they all deserved their next level just on the pure effort theyve put in.

Maya, Ebony, Blake, and Ben will now move to a new phase of their training by entering our
Advanced Blackbelt Master System, while Ajana has now will have a 3 year training stint to get
