Welcome to Kumgang Martial Arts, Auckland’s premier destination for mastering the art of self-defense, building resilience, and achieving peak physical fitness. Operating under the strict guidance of Taekwondo New Zealand and affiliated with the global World Taekwondo Federation, we offer a structured and authentic learning environment. Our name, meaning "Diamond," reflects our commitment to hardness, endurance, and the indomitable spirit that defines our students.

At Kumgang, we believe martial arts are more than just physical exercise; they are a path to personal excellence. Our curriculum is built on core tenets such as courtesy, integrity, perseverance, and self-control. Whether you are interested in traditional Taekwondo—featuring dynamic kicks, forms (Poomsae), sparring (Kyorugi), and board breaking (Kyokpa)—or the weapon-based Filipino martial art Kali (Eskrima), our programs are designed to empower students of all ages and abilities.

We offer specialized classes tailored to every stage of life. Our Tiny Warriors program (ages 5-8) focuses on building confidence and coordination in a fun, non-aggressive setting, while the Warrior program (ages 9-13) challenges youth to set and achieve goals. For adults, our classes provide a rigorous workout that improves fitness, reduces stress, and fosters a positive mindset. We also feature exclusive Ladies-Only sessions designed to build female resilience and community, as well as calming Core & Balance classes that blend elements of yoga and Pilates with martial arts techniques.

Beyond regular training, Kumgang offers unique experiences, including annual competitions, camps, and our popular Bullying Awareness Seminars. We also host unforgettable Birthday Parties where children can learn skills, break boards, and celebrate in a safe, exciting environment complete with a ceremonial cake cutting using a samurai sword. With three convenient locations in Wairau, St Johns, and Meadowbank, Kumgang Martial Arts is ready to help you or your family start their journey toward confidence, health, and martial arts mastery.

Fantastic experience: My daughter Emma has been learning Taekwondo at Kumgang since she was 4 1/2 years of age. From day one, she has been a huge part of the Kumgang family and every student gets personalised attention, and is taught not only the art itself, but how to grow into an emotional strong and resilient person. The dedication from all the team to ensure every student reaches their own personal goals and lives upto their potential is what makes the difference and every student is guided towards a vision of personal achievement, balance, and team spirit. She has made some great lifelong friends and support from the members and staff throughout the years. Highly recommended A++

Negative experience: The actual sessions they run are great for kids, however, their interactions and understanding for the parents is terrible.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Kumgang Martial Arts for all ages and at any level of fitness. My wife, son and I all train together, which is great for bonding. Our son is now 10 and has been going since he was 5. He enjoys the friendships made and the training has been great for his self-confidence. The instructors are very patient and experienced. My wife and I attend the adult classes, which have been great for our fitness with the added bonus of a sense of accomplishment in progressing through the belts. This is a very child friendly and family oriented club. You and your kids will love it here.
