Welcome to the Atomic Tae Kwon Do website! We hold two workouts per week in the Hwa Rang Kwan dojang, located at 371 5th Street (@ Harrison) in San Francisco's SoMA district.

Co-founders Andy Maguire and Matt Fishbach provide a venue for all Bay Area advanced Tae Kwon Do students, regardless of school or association, to meet and train together in a cooperative and challenging environment. Unlike a traditional school setting, we focus on a high intensity cardio workout with less time devoted to basic techniques. Atomic Tae Kwon Do is perfect for advanced belts that desire an opportunity to supplement their existing training.

Each workout is 90 minutes and most sessions include:

• High-intensity stretching and calisthenics
• Competitive and safe sparring sessions
• Speed and reaction drills
• Power drills, with free standing bags
• Advanced kick techniques
• Video analysis of sparring (see the latest sparring videos)

News Update (Feb '06): Our own Shelley Scipione is preparing to compete in the 2006 US Open TKD Championships in Dallas, TX, February 16-19. Go Shelley!

The Atomic team's first official workout took place on January 16, 2001. We've been kicking (and sweating) steadily ever since.
