Welcome to the Taekwon-Do at York University website. Taekwon-Do at York is relatively new club which was started two years ago and has been offering training ever since! This is a student run martial arts club, but we work together with ITF (International Taekwon-Do Federation) instructors to offer weekly training. Our instructors are volunteers who came to us from Master Caputo’s Beaches ITF School, located in Toronto. It is thanks to Master Caputo’s continuous support and guidance that those instructors are able to offer free training to our community.

      Our head instructors are Mr. Francesco Spinelli who is a fifth degree black belt and International Instructor. Also, we have Mr. Wojtek Zurek who is a third degree black belt Instructor. Both of them have extensive teaching, training and competitive experience. Each of them has trained Taekwon-Do for over 20 years and have represented Canada in many international level competitions, including world championships.

      Even though we practice ITF style Taekwon-Do, out instructors welcome all students regardless of their current or past martial art experience and affiliation. At the least, we offer good, hard work out and fun training atmosphere!

President
