Dear Masters, Instructors, Coaches, Competitors, and Families,

On behalf of the entire Moohan Open staff and tournament committee, we would like to sincerely thank all of you for participating in the 2026 Moohan Open Taekwondo Championships last Saturday, May 9th.

We truly appreciate every school, instructor, coach, athlete, and family who traveled to support and take part in our event. Your energy, sportsmanship, and support helped make this tournament a memorable experience for everyone involved.

Due to an unexpectedly large number of registrations, several last-minute referee absences caused by personal circumstances, and the challenges of coordinating tournament operations throughout the day, we understand that there were delays and areas where the event could have run more smoothly. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Despite those challenges, we are grateful for the many positive comments and encouraging feedback we have received from participating schools and families. It means a great deal to our entire team.

We are always open to hearing feedback from Masters and instructors. While it may not be possible to implement every suggestion, please know that we carefully listen to all feedback and will continue working hard to improve and organize an even better and smoother tournament next year.

Thank you once again for your patience, understanding, and support of the Moohan Open Taekwondo Championships. We hope to see all of you again next year.

Respectfully,

Tournament Director
Master Yong Jun Kim

Important Age Division Update – 2026 Moohan Open Championships

Beginning this year, competitor ages will be determined by Year of Birth, the same system used by WT, USAT, AAU, and ATU competitions.

This means an athlete’s age division is based on the year they were born, not their actual birthday.

Example:
Athletes born in 2008 will compete as 18-year-old competitors, regardless of their birthday during the year.

Please keep this in mind when registering for the tournament to avoid any confusion with divisions.

This rule applies to all divisions, including Demo Team competitions.

Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the 14th Moohan Open Championships!
