Happy womens day to all women around the world but especially to our Oh Do Kwan women, everyday is a womens day in our club. We are Happy to say we have a huge amount of females in our club, this has been the case since the 80's and our female instructors outnumber our male instructors and do a fantastic job. Among our female members we have the highest ranked Taekwondo female in Australia, GrandMaster Carmela Hartnett 9th Dan (A national and International Champion), Grandmaster Jenny Crutchett 8th Dan (Paralympic Referee) Grandmaster Anita Tippet 8th Dan (Numerous times Australian National team manager). Our club is richer for their and all our other female members. We also have many other incredible female masters from 4th - 7th Dan that teach or train.
Happy womens day to all other females in Taekwondo. Taekwondo would be less if you were not all involved.
