Have Questions?
Well, we have answers.
Where and when are practices?
​
If you haven't figured it out from our bombardment of practice times at the bottom of every page, here's the scoop for the fall of 2015:
​
Saturday 1:05pm - 3:05pm @ Rockne 205
Monday 7:50pm - 9:50pm @ Rockne 205
Thursday 8:15-9:45 @ Rockne 109
What happens at practices?
​
Practices. Well, they always begin with stretches and warm-up kicks. After that, activities vary. Sometimes new techniques and combinations are learned. Other times, we learn how to defend ourselves in real life situations or apply what we've learned in sparring. Throughout the practice, we usually use targets, shields, and other equipment to assist us in our training. The best way to get a feel for our club is to come on o ut to a practice.
What do people wear to practices?
Those who are looking to just try out the sport to determine whether or not our club is the right fit can wear work out clothes (please no shorts or tank tops...). Those who decide to stay with the club are required to wear the traditional taekwondo uniform (they look great by the way). To test, you must wear a uniform, which is available through the club.

So what are the costs?
​
For the first week, people can drop into practices and get a feel for whether or not they like the club at no cost. If you want to continue after the first week and become a member, you must pay club dues of $30 for the semester, or $50 for the year. This fee allows you to practice with the club three times a week, test for your next belt (there is an additional testing fee, but you are not allowed to test unless you have paid your club dues) in addition to social time with club members. If you don't have a taekwondo uniform, you can purchase one through the club for a one-time fee of $25.
