About the President

Name: Mika Moreno

Program: 4th Year Health Sciences

Belt: Black Belt, First Dan

Fun Fact: I love photography, animated movies, and chill video games

Hi there, my name’s Mika! I have the honour of being Western Taekwondo Club’s 2025-26 President. I’ve been an instructor since my first year and loved meeting new members and seeing the progress of returning ones. Previously, I competed in Provincial, National, and International competitions as a High-Performance sparring athlete. This Club has welcomed me with open arms, and I hope you get to grow in the sport with the same experience!

Events

Tournaments: Our Club competes semi-annually in tournaments across the GTA, including but not limited to the Toronto Open Tournament. Members across all skill levels are encouraged to participate! In our first tournament last year, 11 members competed and brought back 12 medals! We’ve also had cross-training with other University Taekwondo clubs such as McMaster and U-Waterloo.

Socials: Western Taekwondo Club members always look forward to our monthly Club socials, where we get to know each other outside of school and taekwondo. Some of our previous socials include: karaoke, escape room, trampoline park, mini golf, ice skating, bowling, potluck, and group blind dinner.

Demo: This past year, our Club performed a demo for TAW’s “Night Market” and WUKSA’s “Korea Day.” Our experienced instructors choreographed a performance that included kicking, nunchuck action sequences, and board breaking, all to showcase our amazing Club. All members are encouraged to participate in our spectacular show!
