What sorts of events beyond practice does the club participate in?
We do several things. We compete regularly. Generally, we travel as a team up to another college in the northeast. There we often spend the night at a hotel or team members house and hit the competition early in the morning. The day normally starts with forms, with everyone competing against their own belt groups in front of 3-5 black belt judges. After forms, sparring events take place, beginning with black belt men and women and moving down through the different levels (color belt, lower belt etc.). The whole day is a lot of fun — even the long drives are a good time and a fantastic bonding experience. Because of the way all belt groups are divided and count for a school’s total points, we encourage people of all levels to compete, and, as a beginner, you have the chance to compete against people of your level. This is true all the way until black belt. We also participate in many demos. We perform demos for everyone from community groups to Korean associations at the various Harvard
