Taekwondo training at a university is a radically different experience from training at a Dojang. At elementary, middle, high school and college, the only Taekwondo training is for sparring competition, and it is very intense.

They would accept you as a Dan holder, however you will find in time that you would need to transfer to a Kukkiwon Dan as you will need an official Kukkiwon Dan number for various paperwork etc.

Most universities in Korea have good Taekwondo competition programs. The top ones being Hankuk Chae Dae, Kyung Hee, and Yong In. I believe that both Yong In and Kyung Hee offer BA/Master/PhD Degrees in Taekwondo as well.

I am involved in teaching and practicing Kukkiwon Taekwondo or what you might think of as WTF. But referring it WTF is actually incorrect.

For the many years that I was a member of the USTU (WTF in the USA), I was affiliated with the WTF. I was a member because I was involved in WTF competitions, but no longer. Being that for several years I have not renewed my USTU (now USAT) membership, I think it's $35, I am not longer affiliated with the WTF. Like anyone, I can rejoin at anytime. However I am still very involved in Kukkiwon Taekwondo and will be for life.

Best Regards,

Alcohol
