WHY SHOULD I
STUDY MARTIAL ARTS IN THIS CLUB?
We are a Taekwon-Do Club focused on the UD experience
Your life at UD and beyond will be enhanced by study in our
club.
The International Taekwon-Do Club is a UD Recreational Sports
Club. You’ll workout with UD students
and alumni, and learn the Korean martial art of Taekwon-Do focused on the UD
environment. This will help you get or
stay in shape, defend yourself, gain confidence, and have fun!
Our goals are simple:
Ø Help you defend
yourself;
Ø Combine physical
skills with mental discipline to enhance your life;
Ø Teach skills
that you will use far beyond any English, History, or Math class to help you
succeed in life.
How can our Club possibly do that? You will learn:
Ø To combine kicks
and punches with releases and “common sense” to avoid danger and to be confident
in any situation;
Ø Concentration and Focus,
key mental traits of martial artists, and how to apply these skills to any
aspect of your life;
Ø The rhythm of
how YOU learn in a no-pressure atmosphere; knowing yourself is a key
to future success.
As a student
progresses in the club, other skills develop:
Ø concentration
skills as applied to study or meditation;
Ø understanding of
internal motivation;
Ø teaching as
applied to public speaking skills;
Ø perseverance and
encouragement as applied to positive attitude in life;
Ø leadership as applied to
management in professional life.
A typical class lasts about one hour. First, we’ll make sure everyone stretches out
and warms up. Then we begin learning or
reviewing techniques such as kicks, punches, and blocks. We’ll then use these in drills with heavy
bags, pads, or other equipment you can really hit hard! We’ll have a self-defense or sparring time
where you get to see how to apply the techniques. We try to rehearse situations where
Taekwon-Do could help you. No experience
is needed, just initiative and interest to learn.
Instructors are typically black belts. (Non-black belts also teach to enhance
their skills and help build leadership qualities.) Our black belts do more than just give
martial arts advice. Most are alumni or
are senior professionals in industry, and can provide you with advice far
beyond how to do a block or kick.
