<p>I'm just wondering if there are any Duke students here who are part of the club? It would be great if you guys could tell me what you think of the club, if you guys do FULL CONTACT sparring, and how intense the training is. I've had 11 years of martial arts experience in Tang Soo Do, Boxing, Tae Kwon Do (1st Dan), Okinawan Karate (weapons), and some Hapkido, and I am very interested in going into Shotokan or Kyokushin Karate (if I decide to attend Duke).</p>
<p>BTW I did check out their website, but Duke Shotokan Karate doesn't have any videos, so I can't judge whether or not their martial arts program is up to my standards/expectations. Also, it would be great if any of you guys are black belts in Tae Kwon Do/Tang Soo Do and might be interested in reviving the Tae Kwon Do club with me if we all decide to go to Duke.</p>
