The Way of the Foot and the Fist

The UMBC Tae Kwon Do Club is a free student organization where you can learn the Korean martial art of Tae Kwon Do. Our students are taught in the style of the World Tae Kwon Do Federation (W.T.F.). Our purpose is to become more aware of one's mental and physical potential and to develop the attributes of dignity, self-respect, honor, and humility.
