Tae Kwon Do

<p>any1 know anything about the tae kwon do program at berkeley?</p>

<p>and undecided frosh hollaaaaaa</p>

<p>what do you want to know about it?</p>

<p>i’m in the program right now.</p>

<p>I also have a question regarding Cal’s TKD program. So I’m currently a freshman (spring admit - FPF) who plans to take TKD classes in the spring. I got my blue belt last summer and have learned TKD under an ITF-affiliated school. Does Cal TKD affiliated with ITF, World TKD Federation, or any martial arts organization? I’m asking because what I’ve learned up to the blue belt rank might differ from Cal’s standards.</p>

<p>I would also like to learn the ancient art of ass-kicking, but the thing is I haven’t done any TKD before, so to youj3an, is the program beginner-friendly? or pretty rigorous, cuz i heard berkeley martial arts is pretty good…</p>

the martial arts program is very beginner friendly.
there is a range of classes starting from white to black belts, much like any other studio. if you want to do tkd, you have two general options, the PE course that you can take for units or the club option. if you want to involve yourself even more in the tkd program, you can join the competitive sparring team and/or the demonstration team.</p>

<p>just go to the RSF and pick up a flyer by the martial arts room for more details and talk to someone there</p>

<p>whoa. havnt checked this page in a LONG time.
i was in the tae kwon do program in the fall. i TA’d for a class under dr. ahn. it was a beginner class and it was very nice. dr. ahn taught the class well and the students were friendly.</p>
