ඔබ සැමට පින්බර වෙසක් මංගල්‍යයක් වේවා!

We had a wonderful training session conducted by Sabumnim David Lang from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 a well experienced instructor, who is based in Kuala Lampur 🇲🇾
He has a great knowledge in competition sparring and real life sparring. The students had an intense training, since the weather was cool it was easy.
Our students were fortunate to get a very valuable training of this kind.

The recently graded students also received the certificates and belts and was presented by Sabumnim David Lang. We were privileged to celebrate his birthday in our dojang⛩️

Although it was a short stay in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 it was a great time for all of us.

Thank you sir David for this great training🙏💪😊

Today, April 11, 2026, we celebrate the 71st anniversary of the naming of Taekwon-Do.

On 11 April 1955, the name Taekwon-Do was officially presented, marking the beginning of a journey that would grow into a global martial art practiced by millions. For 71 years, Taekwon-Do has represented discipline, respect, perseverance, and continuous self-development.

Our global community continues to honor this legacy through shared milestones. And just three weeks ago, we also celebrated the 60th anniversary of the International Taekwon-Do Federation, marking six decades of dedication to developing and preserving Taekwon-Do worldwide.

As we mark 71 years since the naming of our art, we celebrate our history and look forward to the future together.

What does Taekwon-Do mean to you? Write is in the comments.

Easter is a time to rejoice, reflect and renew our faith in the miracle of resurrection.
We wish all of you a Happy Easter! ✝️🥚🐇🎊️🍇
