Support TaeKwonDonate!

We are the UTD Taekwondo Club, and our mission is to create an inclusive space for UTD students and faculty to practice Taekwondo on campus. We offer high-quality training while fostering a vibrant community where members can socialize and connect. Our bi-monthly belt tests encourage members to challenge themselves, track their progress and grow as martial artists.

We are excited to introduce our project, TaeKwonDonate, aimed at raising funds for travel expenses, shared club equipment and for practice mats.

As our club has continued to expand, more members are eager to participate in out-of-town tournaments and events. The funds raised will help cover costs like gas and hotel accommodations, as well as purchase essential sparring gear to enhance our training experience.

Our goal is to raise $1,000. This amount is critical, as travel expenses for long-distance trips can be costly, and so is sparring gear. By lessening some of the financial burden on our members, we can better support their martial arts journey. Once we reach our goal, we plan to allocate $600 for travel expenses to cover gas and hotel stays for competitive members. The remaining funds will be used to purchase five to seven sets of sparring gear, including chest protectors, arm guards and shin guards.

One of our long-term goals is to have taekwondo mats to use at every practice to minimize injuries and provide better footing for our members. We share our current mats with other club sports, and while they may fit their needs, they are not necessarily the most ideal for our activities.

As one of the few martial arts clubs representing UTD, we are committed to supporting our diverse student body. By ensuring that all members have access to adequate sparring gear, we aim to enhance the training experience while minimizing risk of injury.

This marks our second year back as a club, and we are eager to provide an exciting and unique experience for our members. Through TaeKwonDonate, we aspire to build a supportive community where everyone can create lasting memories as part of the UTD Taekwondo Club.

Thank you for your support!
