Why USMA

What Makes USMA Taekwondo Different?

At USMA Taekwon-do in Melbourne, our focus is on the Martial Art, rather than just the Sport. Training is structured, practical, and includes a strong emphasis on self-defence and real skill development.

We take pride in supporting beginners from day one, providing a safe, friendly, and structured environment to learn and grow. Students are guided by experienced instructors under the leadership of Grand Master Spiridon Cariotis, 9th Degree ITF Black Belt.

From children to adults, everyone is welcome — provided they train with respect for others and the dojang. Above all, USMA is a safe, friendly, and team-oriented environment, and we intend to keep it that way.

Limited Places Available

When you become a member, the dojang becomes your training ground. Attend any class suited to your level with no limit on sessions per week. To maintain quality instruction and personal attention, we keep student numbers limited.

Who Can Join?

USMA Taekwondo is built on the belief that Taekwondo is for everyone. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for a more complete system, there’s a place for you.
  • Complete beginners starting from scratch
  • Students returning after time away
  • Experienced martial artists seeking depth
  • Parents training alongside their children
  • Kids and juniors with a strong youth program
Everyone starts as a white belt — and at USMA, that is respected. Senior students and black belts often assist in classes, reinforcing a strong and supportive training culture.

Family-Friendly Training

We have a strong junior program with many children training regularly, but we also encourage parents to get involved.
Rather than sitting on the sidelines, many parents choose to train alongside their children — building confidence, discipline, and shared goals together.
