The USF Taekwondo Club offers opportunities for both
recreational and competitive involvement.
USF students who wish to compete
against students from other universities such as Davis, Stanford, SJSU and UC
Berkeley, have the option to engage in the club at the competitive level.
Otherwise, students can drop in for a more recreational atmosphere at the
designated times.
The USF Taekwondo club is a member of USA Taekwondo and, on
average, sends participants to 2 local bay area events/tournaments
a semester. Last year student participants medaled in both traditional poomse (forms)
and kyoroogi (sparring) at the 43rd Annual UC Open hosted by UC Berkeley and the
American Open Tae Kwon Do Championships held at CSU-East Bay.
The USF Taekwondo Team focuses on Olympic style Taekwondo as well as development of self-defense skills. Participants of all skill levels (even absolute beginners) are welcome. The team is coached by Mark Miller, a fourth-degree,
Kukkiwon-certified black belt who has practiced Taekwondo since 1985 and is a faculty member in the USF College of Arts and Sciences.
Club members may also be interested in considering the Taekwondo class offered by the ESS department, instructed by Master Sydney Reitenbach, who also works closely with the USF Taekwondo club.
