TNZ is excited to announce our first Poomsae Training Camp for 2026. This is the first in a series of Poomsae development opportunities, so keep an eye on your emails and our social media for further details to come.
The first Training Camp of 2026 will be led by International presenter Grandmaster Bradley Tatnell and Master Sophia Haynes.
GM Bradley (8th Dan) holds a 1st Class Kukkiwon Masters and Examiners Certificate, and is the founder and head instructor of Sun Bae TKD, Brisbane, Australia.
For those who attended last year’s Poomsae Seminar with GM Bradley, you will know what a wealth of knowledge he is. We would like to encourage everyone (red belt and above & 12yrs +) who wants to develop their poomsae to attend this training camp.
This training Camp is for all instructors, coaches, referees, and athletes/students who want to develop their poomsae.
