President/Chief Instructor

Master Joe Fok currently holds 7th Dan Black Belt (World Taekwondo) and Level 2 Overseas Coach Qualification.

Master Joe Fok started practising Chinese Martial Arts since the age of 11, and started practising Taekwondo 3 years following that, and has persisted since. Master Joe’s passion for Martial Arts also led him to start practising Wing Chun in 2013. Master Joe has been a Taekwondo Coach for 30 years and has witnessed his students move on to different stages of their lives, forming families, becoming professionals (eg. Pilots, Lawyers, Doctors, Accountants, Teachers, Businessmen etc).

Since 1984, Master Joe has never ceased to participate and succeed in both international and local competitions. He was also appointed as the coach for the National Hong Kong Taekwondo Team in 1998-2001, leading the team in various training and tournaments. Apart from that, his rich experiences coaching children, teenagers, and adults, in different Dojos have allowed him to understand and cater to students' needs. Master Joe not only cares about his student’s wellbeing, but he also actively communicates with parents to reflect students’ progress. This has been achieved through organising various parents-students activities.

Chairman

It is a great honor to be appointed chairman of Prosperity TKDO Academy and be able to serve the organization and its members. Prosperity TKDO Academy is one of the leading TKD organization established by Master Joe in Hong Kong in 2009.

The Academy has a vision and commitment in adopting the TKD’s principal, which is to train people in physical fitness, concentration, confidence and self-discipline as well as build a strong desire among international and local communities to pursue a healthy lifestyle and create home-grown sporting superstars and role models who in turn foster international recognition in worldwide competitions.

As far as I'm concerned, my own and the organization's commitment and aims are closely aligned to the framework that has been laid down to creating a healthy, inclusive society – aims for which sports have an integral role to play.

Our other commitment is promoting this sport to numerous people in Hong Kong and other countries by recruiting students and coaches globally and attending more world class events with our students and our team. Little gives me greater satisfaction than to see our youths being out there and having goals and achievements to thrive for. Sport can give them confidence and discipline and these are the foundations which we are laying down through grass roots initiatives in order to give them an opportunity in growing through merit and accomplishment. I also get great encouragement when I literally see thousands of residents and visitors turn out to support the increasing number of global-standard sporting events we are hosting here, and we envisage many more to come.

Finally, I'd like to wish the families of the club, including the players and training authority further success in order to promote the distinguished position achieved by the club through constructive communication and participation in Taekwondo.

So, without further a due, and on behalf of the committee, I’d like to thank all members, supporters and friends of Prosperity TKDO academy. let’s together give our best, so others can be their best.

Honorary President

We are proud and honoured to be associated with JOE FOK and the PROSPERITY TKDO Academy

For over 20 years we have enjoyed a warm and close business and personal relationship with him and his family and have experienced a trust and support that have been very special for us.

Joe has studied Taekwondo for over 30 years, over which period, it has become an extremely popular INTERNATIONAL SPORT, with people from all over the world learning this martial art. It achieved Olympic status at the 2000 Games in Sydney and Joe’s training has enabled his students to compete at the highest level, representing HONG KONG both in World Class events and Asian Tournaments.

The value, other than sporting, is that Taekwondo also improves the function of the nervous system and circulation, as well as regulating the metabolism and keeping the body in fine balance. This is achieved by rapid reaction together with controlled breathing and concentration. Flexibility is at the centre of the training which helps to stretch and strengthen the spinal column. Joints, muscles and ligaments are also helped by this regime, keeping the body supple and youthful.

Young and old alike find it an especially effective activity, as it encourages Agility, Awareness, Strength and Flexibility. It also offers a strong framework and guidance for hyperactive children.

The regular and sustained practise of Taekwondo by Joe’s students has developed their Health, Posture and Well Being, as well as giving them Vitality, Confidence and Self Discipline.

This wonderful sport has a following in all age groups and is highly recommended for children, as an outlet for their surplus energy.

We are certain that the Prosperity TKDO Academy will go from strength to strength under the able leadership of Joe Fok, a great teacher and valued friend.
