The Battalion
Though the Texas A&M Tae
Kwon Do team may not have the
recognition that it wants, it cer
tainly has the ranking.
The team is currently ranked
No.3 in the nation after placing
third at the Collegiate National
Championships in New York. The
team took 12 competitors to the
meet in New York and brought
back one gold medal, four silver
medals and five bronze medals.
Anne Harper, a first-degree
black belt on the team who has
been practicing the sport for four
years, said competition is the fo
cus for the A&M team.
“Our team focuses on compe
tition, which is the Olympic-
style Tae Kwon Do,” Harper
said. “The competition is 95 per
cent kicks and about 5 percent
punches. We train solely to go to
competitions throughout the
state and the nation.”
The Tae Kwon Do team is
made up of about 40 members at
all levels of skill.
“We teach beginners, and we
also take people who have had
Tae Kwon Do experience in the
past,” Harper said.
The team is open to new mem
hers interested in learning more
about the sport. Interested indi
viduals can contact the team’s
president, Camilla Sullivan, for
more infonnation.
The team is through with tour
nament action for this season but
looks forward to the big tourna
ment season in the spring.
“In the Spring we have three
major tournaments, two in Col
orado and one in Dallas,” Harper
said. “In the tournaments, there
are two events. There are forms
competition and fighting. The
forms is like a choreographed set
of movements, without music,
that show power and grace.
“In the fighting, you are
against an opponent. You go info
the ring and the rules are nothing
below the belt and no punches to
the face. You can kick to the
head, you can kick to the body
and you can punch to the body.”
The Tae Kwon Do team prac
tices four times a week and en
courages interested people to
come watch practice. On Mondays
and Thursdays, they practice in
room 255 at G. Rollie from 8-Id
p.m. On Tuesdays they are at
Room 267 of the Reed building
from 5-7 p.m. On Wednesdays,
they practice with Head Coach-
Master Michael Pejo — at his
karate school in the Martial Arts
Center in Bryan.
