We opened on Wednesday the 7^th
of February 2001

On Wednesday the 7th of February 2001 Gungahlin Soo Bahk Do opened its dojang at 6:30pm. The first classes consisted of members who had moved to the “New” region in the ACT and wanted to train closer to home.
We opened at Palmerston Primary School training two nights a week. Shortly after this Monday night was added at the first Gungahlin Public Library (Ernest Cavanagh Street) at 7:00pm. When the Nicholls venue (current location) became available in 2003 the school moved and has continued to operate in this location.

Kyo Sa Nim John Olejniczak was the first new white belt to work through the doors and continues to train with us. Joining in August of the 2001 he is coming up to 20 years membership in the Moo Duk Kwan

Over the years the school has had very strong supporters from amongst the Dan members and this continues. Without this support the dojang could not have survived this long. We strive to provide an inclusive friendly environment for our members feeling that this ensures members will want to remain connected.
