Martial Arts Club

The Stevens Martial Arts and Self Defense Club (MASD) is a relatively young organization in the Stevens community. It was founded by students who had years of experience and a love of martial arts. They wanted to be able to share their experience with the community, as well as give other students the opportunity to share what they know. The name of the club is purposefully vague in a sense that the Martial Arts and Self Defense techniques covered originate from the backgrounds of the students involved. While the original members focus on traditional Taekwondo and self defense based on American Ninjutsu, newer members have also had the opportunities to learn from students who practice Judo and Kickboxing. Most members join out of interest in learning about different martial arts or ways of defending themselves without having any prior training; the club is designed to gain interest from masters and beginners alike! Stevens MASD has co-hosted a few events in the past that include the board-break-a-thon held during the StevensTHON dance marathon to help raise money, as well as a self defense seminar hosted by Master Sunny Park from Master Park’s Black Belt America. The club hopes to get more martial arts and self defense masters  from all backgrounds for future events to provide students with experiences and knowledge they may never forget. As interest continues to grow in the club the current Eboard and members can’t wait to be able to train together again and welcome new members in the semesters to come!
