CLEMSON UNIVERSITY
TAE KWON DO CLUB
Student Handbook
The Clemson University Tae Kwon Do Club was established
in 1967 by Master Billy Hong. . The purpose of the club is
to offer university students an opportunity to receive
traditional training in the Korean art of self-defense. As a
student in the club you will derive many benefits from your
training both mentally and physically.
Tae Kwon Do originated in Korea over 2,000 years ago.
“Tae” means to kick or smash with the foot; “Kwon” means
to strike with the hand or fist; “Do” means the skills of
blocking, dodging, foot sweeps, and joint locks to form a
very effective style of self-defense. Physically, Tae Kwon
Do will help you control your weight, tone your body, and improve your
cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Your body will have more energy, and
your physical strength, flexibility and coordination will improve as well. Tae
Kwon Do will also help you maintain good mental health by giving you a positive
way of releasing everyday stress and tension. You can release some of that pent up
hostility and frustration in a morally acceptable and productive manner. The end
result is a healthier mind along with a healthier body.
At the end of each semester a rank advancement test will be
given. If you have trained regularly you are encouraged to
take this technical exam. Upon satisfactory completion of
the promotion test you will receive your belt and certificate.
All certification will be issued by the Mauldin Tae Kwon
Do Academy. Black Belt certifications will be issued by the Kukkiwon (World
Taekwondo Federation Headquarter).
Since the Clemson University Tae Kwon Do Club is an official branch school of
the Mauldin Tae Kwon Do Academy, club members are welcome to attend classes
at Mauldin Tae Kwon Do Academy as well as the Anderson Tae Kwon Do
Academy, instructed by Mr. Tom Barilovits, at no additional cost during the fall

southeast. The club also competes annually at the South Carolina State
