ABOUT US
The Pambos Taekwondo Center school was founded in 1992 by Mr. Pambos Hadjiharalambous and for two years it was under the supervision and guidance of Korean Master Han.
From the day the school was founded to this day, the main instructor has been Mr.Pambos Hadjiharalambous, who has worked with zeal and love for the sport and the students of the school. His knowledge and experience led to continuous success both in Cyprus and abroad.
Since 2009 it has been operating in a privately-owned space with modern facilities and the specifications of the Cyprus Sports Organization (CMO).
The main goal of the school, and especially of our trainers, is to showcase out athletic talents and to help our athletes evolve and grow into good people with ethics and confidence. Through tireless efforts, we have achieved to promote athletes who have represented Cyprus in World and European Championships with several successes internationally.
One of the biggest successes of our school abroad, was at the 2011 World Championship that was held in Korea, with 150 countries participating. Our athlete, Andreas Stylianou took the 3 rd place and the bronze medal, bringing a huge success for both our school and Cyprus.
What’s important is, that our athlete achieved this attainment of great importance and worth in the birthplace of Taekwondo, and by becoming the 3 rd World Champion, he achieved the greatest success any Cypriot athlete has achieved in the last 20 years in Taekwondo.
Taekwondo is recognized as one of the most popular martial arts of self-defense and that’s why many people choose to practice it, without aspiring to do it at a high level.
All of our coaches are experienced in both Taekwondo and working with children.
