About Southern Cross Taekwon-Do Academy
I need to clarify that Southern Cross is a **Taekwon-Do Academy**, not a judo club. The academy, located at 304 Albert Street in Hokowhitu, Palmerston North, offers training in traditional Taekwon-Do with sessions Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:00–7:30 PM. What makes Southern Cross unique is its comprehensive curriculum that extends beyond standard techniques to include break falls, foot trips, specialized strikes, Korean history, and advanced patterns like Ko-Dang. The academy actively hosts tournaments and seminars, providing students with competitive opportunities and exposure to diverse martial arts knowledge within the Taekwon-Do discipline.
