Master Paul McPhail has been training in Taekwon-Do for over 40 years. He also dabbles in computers, and has been webmaster of the world renowned ITFNZ website since it’s launch back in 1997.

He had the idea for an on-line coaching after providing video analysis for members around the country, and registered the domain name tkdcoaching.com back in 2011. He called on itkd.co.nz website designer Mike Peetz to once again do his magic to create the new site, which was launched on 15 May 2015.
