About

Team Just For Kicks in Chula Vista teaches ITF-style Taekwon-Do under certified instructor Jorge Velazquez, with training locations in both Chula Vista and Imperial Beach serving students ages four through adult. The competition-focused program drills ITF patterns, board breaking, and continuous sparring at a national level, with the explosive kicking power further developed through sport-specific strength cycles at San Diego Strength and Wellness. An annual Desert to Beach Taekwon-Do Training event combines intensive seaside conditioning with traditional fundamentals across a multi-day camp format on the San Diego coastline. Saturday Champions Cap sessions give tournament-track students focused sparring rounds and pattern refinement outside the standard weekly class schedule. Competition-ready students source ITF-approved sparring helmets, chest protectors, and shin guards from equipment outfitters including DICK'S Sporting Goods to meet sanctioned tournament gear requirements. Advanced competitors execute ITF tul patterns through fourth-dan level, 540-degree spinning hook kicks, and rapid-exchange continuous-sparring combinations calibrated to ITF international tournament scoring criteria.
