    Harvard ATA Taekwondo Club
    Andrew Kamons, president ataclub@lycos.com
    The Harvard ATA Taekwondo Club can help you relieve stress, learn self-defense, and develop fitness, flexibility and coordination. Classes focus on blocks, strikes and kicks that we practice through forms (choreographed patterns), one-steps (partner drills) and free sparring. We also work with joint manipulation, pressure points, ground-fighting, and weapons like escrima sticks and nunchaku.

Beginners are welcome and the trial lesson is free. All classes meet in the Malkin Athletic Center (MAC) on Holyoke Street behind Harvard Square. For our current class schedule please e-mail us or go to our website.
    Harvard University Cycling Association
    Ross Fleischman huca@hcs.harvard.edu
    We are the fastest sport at Harvard. We are undergraduates and graduate students, men and women who race road bicycles. In the fall we ride with our coach practicing riding technique and cycling form. We encourage you to join us, whether or not you are interested in racing. In the spring we compete against other schools from Pennsylvania to New Hampshire in the Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference. No experience is necessary to join. We'll see you on the road.
    Harvard-Radcliffe Kendo Club
    Hyun-Sup Byun, President kendo@hcs.harvard.edu
    The Harvard-Radcliffe Kendo Club is one of the oldest collegiate organizations dedicated to the study and practice of kendo, the Japanese art of the sword. Modern kendo is the direct descendant of the schools of sword-fighting techniques in which the samurai were trained, and is one of Japan's most popular sports, with several million practitioners. The goal of kendo is not only to develop the physical ability to fight, but also the moral and spiritual aspects of rigorous and disciplined training. All are welcome to join -- we will provide the necessary bamboo swords and armor. No previous martial arts experience is necessary. This year, the HRKC will be instructed by Mr. Junji Himeno (7th dan) a Visiting Scholar with the Reischauer Institute for Japanese Studies, one of only a few high-ranking sensei in the US. As part of the HRKC's commitment to fostering relations in the collegiate kendo community, we host the only intercollegiate kendo tournament in North America. On the cultural side, the HRKC sponsors an annual exchange program to train with the kendo team of Keio University, one of the premier universities in Japan -- the popularity of kendo has made it a unique microcosm of Japanese culture. Additionally, this year we will be hosting a special practice and lecture with former Prime Minister of Japan, Mr. Ryutaro Hashimoto. Come join us!
