A Brief History of Our Club

In the Spring of 2007, club founders Christie Sze and Beilin Ye learned that they both shared a common interest in martial arts. Having backgrounds in Shaolin Kungfu and Tae Kwon Do, these two women also shared a common goal: to be able to make the world of martial arts available to the Wellesley community. After much hard work and planning, Martial Arts at Wellesley (MAW) became a club in the Fall of 2007. Members have been exploring different types of martial arts and teaching each other ever since. Although it has only been a short time since the club began, its leaders and members continue to work hard, have fun, and create a new history.
