ATOMIC TAE KWON DO
Co-founders Master Matt Fishbach and Master Andy Maguire provide a venue for all Bay Area advanced Taekwondo students, regardless of school or association, to meet and train together in a cooperative and challenging environment. Unlike a traditional school setting, they focus on a high intensity cardio workout with less time devoted to basic techniques. Atomic Tae Kwon Do is perfect for advanced belts that desire an opportunity to supplement their existing training.
Each workout is 90 minutes and most sessions include:
• High-intensity stretching and calisthenics
• Competitive and safe sparring sessions
• Speed and reaction drills
• Power drills, with free standing bags
• Advanced kick techniques
• Video analysis of sparring (see the latest sparring videos)
TRIANGLE TAEKWON DO CLUB
Established in 1998 in the heart of San Francisco, California, TTKDC is a not-for-profit martial arts club whose primary mission is to provide qualified and competent martial arts instruction to members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Questioning (LGBTQQ) community throughout the US.
In meeting this primary mission they are dedicated to providing a warm, safe, welcoming, diverse and supportive environment in which everyone may come together to learn, understand, and advance in the martial arts, in their personal and social relationships, and in society in general.
Although primarily directed and geared toward encouraging membership from the LGBTQQ community, TTKDC is also committed to providing equal membership to members of the straight community and to members who have not identified with either community. In conducting their affairs TTKDC is committed to encouraging and exemplifying the following tenets:
• Equality for all, in all aspects of our operations
• Courtesy toward all
• Integrity and honesty in all interactions
• Loyalty
Classes are taught, under the auspices of Master Ken Craig, every Monday and Wednesday evening from 7.00-10.00pm.
