The University of Pennsylvania Taekwondo club was founded nine years ago by a group of black belts devoted to bringing a quality Taekwondo group to campus. Aims of our club include physical fitness, self-defense, and competition. We are the only World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) style club on campus, as well as one of the foremost martial arts groups at Penn.

Members who desire to test their skills beyond the classroom setting may compete in various tournaments through the taekwondo traveling team. The team participates in both team and individual tournaments throughout the year, primarily via affiliations with the Ivy Northeast Collegiate Taekwondo League (INCTL) and USA Taekwondo (USAT, formerly USTU).
