The University of Cincinnati Taekwondo Club is run by Master John Ritter and Master Nicole Dangelo. Master Ritter is a 7th Dan in Taekwondo and has been with the UCTKD club since 2002. Master Dangelo is a 6th Dan in Taekwondo, 4th Dan in Hapkido and has been with the club since 2011. UCTKD is a student organization and student leadership is a key part of our success.

This tournament is for friendly competition and for meeting Taekwondo practitioners from other universities. This is to build relationships between the various clubs and will be a great opportunity for beginners who are nervous about larger tournaments as well as a good tournament for students who are concerned about injuries. Safety and fun are the primary focus and therefore, excessive contact will NOT be tolerated. We look forward to hosting your club. Let's have an amazing experience together.
