Routine training of the Taekwondo USU Student Activity Unit is a commitment that is lived diligently. Every Tuesday and Friday, at 18.00 WIB, the Taekwondo USU Student Activity Unit members gather to hone their skills. The training material covers various aspects, from basic techniques to strong physique, hugo practice (punch and kick practice), and sparring (simulated match practice). However, training intensity can change drastically when the team is preparing for a match. Before a match, athletes will undergo extra training, even daily, to ensure that their physique and technique are in peak condition for the match. This reflects the Taekwondo USU Student Activity Unit's high dedication to achieving the best achievements in the taekwondo world.
