Welcome to Pacific Sun Taekwondo!
Pacific Sun Taekwondo is a subsidiary of Pacific International Taekwondo, led by Master Instructor J. T. Dicks, 7th Dan Black Belt.
Pacific Sun Taekwondo is not just another martial arts school or exercise studio. While our classes include all the dynamic techniques you expect from a martial art together with practical self defence skills and fitness training, we offer much more than that.
Our aim is to help you enjoy learning the Art of Taekwondo and develop a strong sense of discipline which, we believe, is the key to achieving in all areas of life. Taekwondo offers many physical benefits, yet it needs to be part of a structured program for it to be genuinely effective.
Our approach is about focussed, committed training. Any punching, kicking or sparring is done with purpose. We work towards each individual's ability level - and enjoy watching competency and fitness levels grow. Whatever our age, child or adult there's no question our confidence levels soar when we achieve what we set out to. This sense of accomplishment has a positive effect on our success and happiness.

New Black Belts, NZ's first 3rd Dan from March gradings!
 |
| Master Instructor Trevor Dicks presents Senior Instructor Barry Miller with his 3rd Dan Black Belt |
March 2010 saw a successful week of gradings for Pacific Sun Taekwondo students, with five new Black Belts passing their examination in Whangarei and Senior Instructor Barry Miller becoming the New Zealand branch's first 3rd Dan Black Belt!
Senior Instructor Barry, who has been training for more than 15 years in the Christchurch Branch, had to complete a series of breaks (including a flying side kick through a tunnel of 10 people), write a thesis on Taekwondo training and demonstrate a wide variety of techniques to successfully complete his examination.
Meanwhile in Whangarei, two 1st Dan Black Belts and three Junior Black Belts from the Whangarei Central and Ngunguru Branches successfully passed their gradings.
Congratulations to all those who successfully graded!
