About USTC

Our Mission

USTC Branch exists to give families in Providence a place they can rely on. We provide before and after school care that goes beyond supervision — combining academics, athletics, and character development into a daily experience that helps children thrive.

Every student in our program receives Taekwondo training as part of their daily routine. Through martial arts, team sports, and hands-on enrichment, we help young people develop the discipline, confidence, and sense of community that carries into every part of their lives.

Our Instructors

USTC Branch is led by Instructor Mike and Instructor Tae — both 2nd degree black belts who grew up doing Taekwondo together. Alongside Instructor Danny, they bring years of experience and a genuine commitment to mentoring the next generation of students.

The Five Aims of Taekwondo

Our Taekwondo program is grounded in five core principles:

• Respect — Treating instructors, peers, and oneself with dignity
• Honesty — Being truthful in words and actions
• Humility — Staying open to learning, no matter your rank
• Perseverance — Sticking with it when things get hard
• Self Control — Staying calm, focused, and making good choices
