Taekwondo Baden – TEAM BADEN

About Taekwondo Baden – TEAM BADEN

Taekwondo Baden, the TEAM BADEN, is a martial arts club offering taekwondo, ju-jitsu, kickboxing and judo, plus workout, yoga and training for children from the age of three. Training takes place almost every day in Baden – in the sports and events hall at Waltersdorfer Straße 40 and at the Mittelschule Pelzgasse – and two weeks of trial training are free.

From the army sports club to a club of its own

Grandmaster Lee Kwang Bae brought taekwondo to Baden, initially as a sub-section of the Heeressportverein. From this, Hans Mühlgassner founded TAEKWONDO BADEN in 1996. The ju-jitsu section was added in 2008, kickboxing in 2010 and judo in 2020. Alongside recreational sport there is a performance centre for competitive athletes. The club is a member of the Lower Austrian and the Austrian taekwondo federations, the European Taekwondo Union and the world federation; its belt grades are therefore recognised internationally.
