OMAC Taekwondo

As Martial Artists, we should all strive to be positive role models. This makes all of us leaders, or future leaders. For every belt you gain you become a leader to increasingly more people as you must demonstrate skills to the junior students. A willingness to help and serve are also both elements of our Dojang environment, and of leadership. To be a Black Belt, or future Black Belt, is to be a leader.

Congratulations to our Student of the Month, Cameron! He consistently demonstrates dedication, perseverance, and a strong work ethic both on and off the mats.

Cameron isn’t the only member of his family training at OMAC, both of his children train alongside him as well. Balancing work, parenting, and training consistently is truly admirable. His dedication, positive attitude, and commitment to improving make him a great example both on and off the mats and to his family.

Thank you for everyone who came out and volunteered for the Hyack Parade! It was a wonderful day full of amazing board break kicking, lively cheering, seeing friends and good weather. Looking forward to participating again next year!

Kind reminder that there will be no class on Monday, May 18th, for Victoria Day. Classes will resume on Tuesday, May 19th.

“As long as I keep showing up, I’m progressing in the right direction” - Nicole H

Today was a big day at our Dojang, and we couldn’t be more proud of our students.

Sixteen students stepped onto that floor, gave everything they had, and proved exactly what they’re made of.

A special congratulations to Aidan F, Isaac S, and Nicole H, your performances were truly exceptional and a standout of the day. Well done.

Every belt on this list represents years of discipline, sacrifice, and heart. You’ve earned it. Congratulations to all!

Come join us for the annual New Westminster Hyack Parade!
The Hyack Parade is a fun, community event with local floats, bands, community groups and more in some good, May weather! We will be walking through the streets, breaking boards and handing out boards & stickers.

We encourage everyone to come out and participate!

Answers to some FAQs:

There is no cost, participation is free for all students.

The Parade starts at 12PM, but we will meet at our Dojang at 10 AM to prepare. Please drop off students before 11 AM.

Please text message us at 604-200-680 if you are late.

Please come wearing your uniform. Bring a water bottle, and a snack if you need.
Bring sunglasses, hats, sunscreen or a jacket as the weather allows.

The parade will end around 1 PM at Queens Park. Pick up can be arranged for Queens park then, or back at the Dojang around 2 PM.

We had a meaningful visit at the dojang this week as one of our former students, Constable Biro from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, stopped by to spend time with one of our current students, Araav G.

Moments like this reflect what our OMAC community is about. It’s not just training, it’s continuity, mentorship, and giving back. Seeing former students return, share their experiences, and guide the next generation reinforces the values we work to build every day.

We’re proud of the path our students take beyond the dojang, and even more proud when they come back to lift others up.

Matthew A is our Student of the Month. He is the strong and silent type who leads by example every class. His focus, consistency, and work ethic never go unnoticed. Matthew shows quiet determination and continues to improve each time he steps on the mat. We are proud of his progress and look forward to seeing his continued growth.

Happy 81st Birthday to the founder of OMAC Taekwondo, Grand Master Jung Kil Suh.

“When I was younger, he felt like a mythical figure to me. Someone I deeply admired and respected. As I’ve grown, that respect has only strengthened through witnessing his lifelong dedication, discipline, and the legacy he has built for all of us.

He did not just build a school. He built a foundation that has shaped generations of students, instructors, and families. The values he has instilled, Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control, and Indomitable Spirit, continue to guide everything we do at OMAC.

Many of the leaders in our dojang today, including myself, are a direct result of his vision and sacrifice. What started decades ago has now grown into a community where second generation students are becoming leaders themselves.

Grateful for his guidance, his example, and the standard he continues to set. Wishing him continued health, strength, and many more years of impact.”

- Grand Master Young Suh
