TKDI is proud to welcome Drimnagh TKD from Ireland. Maybe one year we’ll get to hold our seminar in Ireland, that would be excellent!
Taekwon-Do International welcomes Master Paul O’Brien from Drimnagh Taekwon-Do Academy. He joins the union from Dublin, Ireland.

Master O’Brien is a fourth dan and has been training since 1986. He teaches traditional Taekwon-Do and has trained with many excellent instructors, and is now proud to call President Suk Jun Kim his teacher and TKDI his home.
Drimnagh Taekwon-Do is very successful on the competition circuit in Ireland, and has an exceptional children’s program. In addition they spend a great deal of time supporting their community, with demonstrations, fun days for families and many more events…giving back is a big part of their philosophy.
Master O’Brien stated “It is an honor for me and my students to be part of Grandmaster Kim’s Taekwon-Do family, and to have access to his knowledge and experience, as well as the other TKDI members.
Attached is a recent photo from Drimnagh TKD’s test…Master O’Brien is pictured on the left.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. O’Brien last weekend at a seminar and have seen many of his students in action at the All Ireland TKD Championships. All of them are lovely people and they are an excellent addition to the union.
