Master Gopal Bhandari’s journey in Taekwondo is one of resilience, dedication, and excellence. Born in Salyan Barala, Nepal, he began training under the harsh conditions of a civil war—practicing barefoot without mats, uniforms, or proper facilities. Despite the challenges, his passion and determination fueled his success.
His skills took him to Kathmandu, where he competed at National and State levels, eventually leading him to Macau, China. While in Macau, he traveled to South Korea for advanced Master Instructor training, earning certification from the World Taekwondo Headquarters. He played a key role in training international students and made significant contributions to the Taekwondo community. Additionally, He served as the coordinator for the Foreigners' Chapter at the Macau Taekwondo Association from 2016 to 2018, providing training opportunities for diverse communities."
With over a decade of international experience, Master Bhandari has competed, coached, and conducted seminars worldwide. From 2019 to 2022, he served as a Master Instructor at Sitipala Taekwondo Dojang in Kathmandu, shaping the next generation of Taekwondo athletes.
Now based in Baltimore, Maryland, Master Bhandari leads Everest World-Class Taekwondo Family Martial Arts, where he teaches students of all ages, focusing on discipline, self-defense, and personal growth.
