Starting with a single beginner class meeting once a week, UCSF Tae Kwon Do has grown to include classes at two sites and three levels (beginning,
intermediate, and advanced), with a total of nine classes per week, including an informal workout on the weekend. In the Fall of 1997, UCSF Tae Kwon Do joined the International Martial Arts Association (IMAA
), an organization which, while based on Tae Kwon Do, also includes elements of Aikido, Kempo, Karate, Kung Fu, and Jujitsu.
