Club Rules

Welcome to the XPT Tae Kwon Do Club. Tae Kwon Do is a Korean martial art literally meaning the Art of the Hand and Foot. Beginners are welcome. Feel free to try out some classes so you can decide whether you would like to train in Tae Kwon Do. There is no charge to join XPT, but we do ask that if you decide to train with us, you register, and agree that you will attend on a regular basis
