Welcome to UBC Taekwondo!
Whether you're a "retired" black belt, actively training for your next belt, have no idea what Taekwondo is, or are just looking for something fun between lectures, this is the club for you! As one of the largest martial arts clubs at UBC, we pride ourselves on building an inclusive and supportive community through the traditional Korean martial art of Taekwondo.
Here at UBC Taekwondo, we aim to teach the various techniques of Taekwondo, along with fostering a fun social environment to make lasting friendships. If you're looking to enter into the world of Taekwondo, reconnect with it, or continue to further your journey, consider checking us out!
Taekwondo is a multi-faceted sport that has its roots in traditional Korean martial arts that date back over 1000 years ago! Today, it is practiced internationally and even recognized as an Olympic sport.
Taekwondo is most known for emphasizing powerful and highly stylized kicks, blending these techniques with many of its core aspects in pattern-based poomsae, high-flying demonstration kicks, and technical sparring. In addition, if you are entirely new to martial arts, Taekwondo serves as an amazing foundation for fitness and a starting point for all aspects of self-defence.
While we are called UBC Taekwondo, training Taekwondo is only one part of the club! These past years have been nothing short of incredible, with a wide range of social events and collaborations that have brought our members closer together and helped us grow as a community. Below is a list of a couple of the recurring and non-recurring events and collaborations that we have done in the past!
