Our Crowdfunding Groups
a highly-competitive sport club at the University of Texas at Austin. For 10 years, we've been kicking butt and taking names around the national collegiate Taekwondo circuit. Last year, 19 of our fighters took home 12 medals at the National Collegiate Taekwondo Association championship, defeating fighters from larger Taekwondo programs like the UC System, MIT, Stanford, and the Ivies to make it to the top.
to remain competitive in the ever-evolving Taekwondo world. We need to train with the latest technology that's being used at collegiate and national competitions. The latest trend in Taekwondo is the adoption of the Electronic PSS (Protective Scoring System). These systems allow for more reliable scoring of points and are already in use at the black belt level at nearly all local, state, and national competitions. As our athletes mature and grow as fighters, they will have to learn new strategies to deal with the differences between manual and electronic scoring. We can talk theory all we want, but at the end of the day, without a PSS, we'll end up hitting a ceiling.
help us break through that ceiling. Your donations will go towards getting us a complete PSS set. This will allow us to practice and host tournaments with electronic scoring, which will go a long way towards keeping our club competitive. The set includes the protective electronic chestguard, radio transmitters and receivers, and the software to run the ring.
Every dollar counts! If you donate at this level you'll receive a personalized text shoutout on our Facebook page!
Wow, thanks a ton! We'll send you a classy-looking bumper sticker so you can rep Texas wherever you go!
You're amazing. And we want the rest of the club to know that, so we'll be embroidering your name on our banner! Come by to one of our tournaments and take a look at it!
Seriously, you're making us blush. At this level, you will receive a video shoutout on our Facebook page at the conclusion of the campaign - and somebody very near and dear to us will receive a kick with your name on it.
You've kicked your way into our hearts! At this level, you will receive an invitation for you and a guest to attend one of our practices and try our new scoring system out in person!
This level will net you and a guest seats at our annual Taekwondo Banquet in May. You'll be recognized as a Guest of Honor, and if you can't make it, we'll set up a livestream so you can take part in the fun. You've always got a place at our table.
