Taekwondo
The Temple Taekwondo Club teaches Olympic-style sparring, which develops high levels of strength, agility, and endurance. Founded in 1997 under Master Laurence Narcisi, the Taekwondo Club has since expanded to more than thirty active members. Temple Taekwondo is a member of the Eastern Collegiate Taekwondo Conference, and competes against such schools as Harvard, Yale and Cornell. The Temple Taekwondo club strives to win at all competitions, and this is recognized by the other teams. In the spring of 2011 the team earned the title of Division 3 Champions for the 2010-2011 season.
