“I appreciate that our university has this traditional ITF-style Taekwondo club, and I can learn and then give back. We have great instructors and solid training, which could be a double-edged sword. Not many students can insist on; however, their bodies and minds would be refined if they do. That’s why this style can be practical in real fighting, and that’s why we love Taekwondo.”

It provides a thrilling challenge, both mentally and physically, and facilitates personal development which translates well in daily life. Seeing the camaraderie and dedication among the other members is always an added bonus and a great source of inspiration.”
