10th GOLD COAST OPEN - TAEKWONDO
HISTORY
Tan’s Open 1 - 17 The Gold Coast Open has grown to be one of
the largest Taekwondo competitions in Australia.
Organised by Tan’s the event has grown from a
club championship to what it is today.
The 1st Tans invitational championship was held
in 1992 at the Southport High School. Sparring,
Poomse and Jump kick competition were held
similar to the format we have today.
At the 7th Tans Open, New Zealand under the
Taekwondo Union of New Zealand (TUNZ)
entered for the first time. Various clubs and
associations from NZ have returned every year
since.
In 2008, the event was expanded to 2 days as
we could no longer fit the program into one.
The Gold Coast Open
In 2010, a name change was made to represent
the expansion of the competition. The Gold
Coast Open, also promoted the region where it
has made its home and reputation. Every year
we have clubs from all over Australia and
internationally. 2014 saw the expansion of
electronics to all divisions except Yellow belt
under 12 years. In 2017 we were the first event
to use the new 120M Carrara Stadium.
The Gold Coast Open is proud of its reputation
which sees clubs returning each year. Taking
care of the small details makes a big difference.
The Gold Coast Open is always held in mid
May to take advantage of the great weather.

Club Profile
Cooktown Taekwondo Academy – Far North Queensland. CTA was founded in 2015 and is sister-club to Flinn Taekwondo Academy in Brisbane. The club is owned and operated by Dan Hodgson in the small, very remote township of Cooktown on the Cape York Penninsula and runs training from the Gungarde Indigenous Corporation hall on Tuesday and Thursday nights. With only a small group of student, around 20, we are very lucky to have the support of Ben and Joshua Flinn at FTA who make the 2000km journey for gradings and workshops and we also have a great community who have helped us to fundraise this year to bring 7 students and 2 parents down to the Gold Coast Open for 2019. This year is a great opportunity for our players who have never even been to a competition to have a go in championship divisions and look toward WT in the future. With Cairns being the closest urban center, 350km south of us, coming to the Gold Coast to compete and get amongst the Taekwondo community is a huge deal for all of us.”
