 The
Physical Education and Sports Center offers Taekwondo courses for those interested in the
martial arts. Originating in an ancient sport, Taekwondo (also written as “tae kwon
do,” “taekwon-do” or “t'aegwondo”) is a modern martial art from Korea
characterized by fast and high kicks.
Taekwondo seeks to promote physical fitness, to improve mental discipline and emotional
balance, to teach self-defense skills and to develop a sense of responsibility for one's
self and for others. The combination of physical, mental and cultural features in this
sport is one of its greatest attractions for many students.
Taught by Korean master Eui Beom Park, Taekwondo courses are held at the Student
Dormitories Sports Hall on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30-7:30 p.m. In addition to
Taekwondo, the Center offers Wing Tsun, Aikido and Capoeira courses for those who are
interested in martial arts.
