“The recurring thing we hear from graduating students in the club is that taekwondo is something that MIT students are allowed to be bad at and then learn to get better,” says head coach and instructor Dan Chuang. “That’s important because high levels of performance are always expected for MIT students, but this is something they’re supposed to be bad at in the beginning.”

Chuang says that the club’s welcoming atmosphere and supportive environment allows students to learn and grow at their own pace. “We’re not trying to churn out black belts,” he says. “We’re trying to help students find something they enjoy and that’s good for them.”

In addition to the physical and mental benefits of taekwondo, the club also provides students with a strong sense of community. “The team is really tight-knit,” says recent club president Jeffery Li ’23. “We all support each other, both in and out of the gym.”

Li says that the club has been a great way to meet new people and make friends. “I’ve made some of my closest friends through the club,” he says. “We’re always there for each other, no matter what.”

If you’re looking for a way to clear your head, get in shape, and meet new people, the MIT Sport Taekwondo Club is a great option. The club is open to students of all skill levels, and it offers a variety of classes and activities to fit everyone’s needs. So what are you waiting for? Come check it out!

The post The 2023 Seongnam World Taekwondo Hanmadang is taking place from Friday 21st to Monday 24th July. appeared first on TaeKwonDo Times.

In the women’s +67kg, Chinese Taipei’s Yun Ci Pan faced Miseo Kwon of Korea. Pan showed great dominance in the first round winning 12-3. In the second round it looked like Pan would dominate again but Kwon did not give up fighting back to provide a thrilling end to the round. However it was not enough and Kwon won 7-5. Seungju Oh of Korea won the bronze medal beating compatriot Ga yoon Kim in the third place match.

In the men’s +80kg final it was another Korean match up with Chan-hui Park facing Jimin Hyun. Both fighters struggled to land points in the first round which went the way of Park courtesy of higher registrations after a 0-0 finish. Park put on an impressive display in the second round using his longer leg reach to pick Hyun off on the counter attack and win 12-2. Dong-ju Lee of Korea won bronze after Refugee Team athlete Mohammad Emami withdrew.

Pan and Kwon both booked their places Taiyuan 2023 World Taekwondo Grand Prix in October courtesy of their first and second place finishes in the women’s +67kg. However, as the top three finishers in the men’s +80kg were all Korean and given only one athlete per country can qualify per weight category, Park will be joined by fourth placed Emami in Taiyuan.
