The Washington Tae Kwon Do Club is one of the many organizations sanctioned under SIMBA DOJANG, INC., in Southeast, Washington, D. C.  It was created in May of 1983 under the direction of Reginald Moten and James Wyatt.  Today, the WTKDC instructors have trained, coached and developed the martial arts skills of more than 4,000 students of all ages – from 3 years old to over 70 years old; proving that you are never too young (or too old) to take martial arts.

All the adult Black Belt instructors are Tae Kwon Do certified, and have at least 5 years of experience in martial arts training, which assures that each student will be taught with safe, effective, and proven teaching methods and techniques that will allow them to learn and reach their maximum potential.

While we specialize in the art of Tae Kwon Do, many of our Black Belts have expanded their knowledge in the martial arts and have brought their new skills and knowledge back to us. We now have incorporated many aspects of several different styles into our system, including:

While our base will always be Tae Kwon Do, these new areas of the arts help to make us one of the most well rounded martial arts schools in the area.” Also, coming to the WTKDC in the near future will be the art of KENDO!

Specializing in the traditional Korean style of martial arts, The Washington Tae Kwon Do Club has developed an extremely disciplined, intense, and rigid training program that develops skills and abilities in areas such as:

• Basic Fundamentals
• Expert Techniques
• Traditional Forms
• Creative Forms
• Martial Arts Weaponry
• Korean Terminology
• Martial Arts Etiquette
• Self Defense
• Sport and Tournament Competition

Our students also enjoy activities as a group outside of the martial arts arena, such as: Roller and ice skating, the Annual WTKDC Banquet, picnics, dances, cabarets, swimming, camping trips, skiing, beach trips, amusement park trips, and several other special events.

Over the past five years, the club has won more than 1,000 trophies and awards in several of the local, regional, and national tournament competitions; and have justly earned the title of being "One of Washington's Winningest Martial Art Schools!" some of the students have even gone to become top competitors in the Annual DC Capital Games, the Maryland State Games, and the local and National Law Enforcement and Fire Fighter Olympics. And just as impressive, some of the students have competed, and won, in the National AAU Karate and National AAU Tae Kwon Do and the USTU (United States Tae Kwon Do Union) competitions.
