About the Club
The UGA Karate Club, founded in 1960, is the oldest active martial arts club at the University of Georgia. The Karate Club's aim is to provide good physical conditioning while teaching the art, history and philosophy of Tae Kwon Do. Membership is open to all students, faculty and staff, and beginners are welcome. Students are not required to sign contracts, swear oaths, or purchase uniforms (although uniforms are available for anyone interested in them...click here for sizing and price information).
Our instructors come from a variety of martial arts backgrounds. The club's primary style is the Moo Duk Kwan branch of Tae Kwon Do, although a number of other arts and traditions are represented within the membership. Our chief instructor, Grand Master Jim Couch, has over forty years experience in the martial arts and holds an 8th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, a 6th degree black belt in Hapkido, and a 1st degree black belt in Judo.
