🤯 👊🥋 Nothing like the 국기원 Kukkiwon World Taekwondo Hanmadang! This event was an amazing display of Poomsae, Breaking, and Sparring. We love to see the beauty and spirit of Taekwondo shown in so many ways.

🥋 Wednesday Wisdom: One Taekwondo, Many Paths

This past weekend, the ITF 7th World ONE Taekwon-Do Championships event was held at 국기원 Kukkiwon in Seoul—a powerful reminder that while our styles, traditions, and techniques may look different, we share the same spirit of Taekwondo.

In this video, a Kukkiwon black belt and an ITF black belt demonstrate Koryo Poomsae, showing how the same form can be expressed in two different styles.

Different doesn’t have to mean divided. We can celebrate our differences, learn from one another, and come together through the values that unite us.

Different paths. One passion. One Taekwondo. 🥋🌎

A special thank you to Seongjin Park () for sharing this video and helping highlight the beauty of Taekwondo’s different traditions.

One World. One Taekwondo. 🇰🇷🥋🌎

This week, more than 4,200 martial artists from 61 countries gathered at the 2026 World Taekwondo Hanmadang at 국기원 Kukkiwon in Korea to celebrate the art, tradition, and spirit of Taekwondo. From incredible demonstrations and breaking events to poomsae and unforgettable friendships, the Hanmadang reminded us that Taekwondo is about so much more than competition—it’s about bringing people together through respect, perseverance, and a shared passion for lifelong learning.

Congratulations to everyone who participated and represented their schools and countries with pride. We can’t wait to see what next year’s Hanmadang brings!

One of the biggest highlights of last year was competing at the 국기원 Kukkiwon World Taekwondo Hanmadang! 🌍🥋

It was only the second time the World Hanmadang had ever been held outside of Korea, and our NY group proudly brought home 6 World Champions and 9 Gold Medals. 🥇 We also had the incredible opportunity to watch the K*KKIWON DEMO TEAM perform live.

🇰🇷 This year, the World Taekwondo Hanmadang returns to Korea! Best of luck to everyone competing August 1–5 at Kukkiwon!
