I started teaching Taekwondo at Oracle almost two years ago.  Rick Vierra started the program and it has continued after his departure from Oracle.

It is a difficult class to teach because all belt levels are mixed together.  When there are Red Belts to assist, I can split the class up into advanced and basic groups.

This semester, the curriculum is more rigorous as UC Berkeley added Palgwe forms to the belt test requirements.  For some people, this means learning eight new forms!
