Quotes from recent course evaluations:

Out of all the various martial arts clubs on campus, this one may just be the most fun--and most useful. We learn a wide range of skills, including classical karate movements as well as sport jujitsu and "street fight" self-defense. The instructors are well qualified and very understanding, but what makes the club so special are its members. The people are all cool and understanding, with upper belts respecting lower belts, etc. The class, moreover, is not excessively large in size, so there is a certain degree of personal attention.

I'd definitely recommend it. Karate has been the best activity I've found here. It's amazing the amount of not only physical discipline but also mental discipline it gives you.

How to join:

For Princeton students:

Sign up for the "Beginning Karate: Tang Soo Do" PE class with the Athletics Department in Dillon Gym. The instructor listed should be Steve Strong, and the class times should be TTh 5-7 and Sat 1-3. Watch for the PE booklet that comes out for each semester, usually in September and January. It has all the details, including the days the gym is open for sign up. There is a cost of $80 per semester for the class, with a $5 surcharge if you sign up after the deadline. Also, feel free to stop by during class to see what it's like and ask questions. We also try to have free trial classes just before the official start of PE classes. Watch for us at activities fairs, too!

For people outside of Princeton University:

First, you could join Dillon Gym and sign up for the class just like students. Contact the PE office at 609-258-3533 for more information. Alternatively, you could join Mercer Martial Arts Academy in Ewing, NJ (formerly R&R Martial Arts, which was formerly James Karate). We were affiliated with this school when it was R&R Martial Arts. Their number is 609-882-6600.
