Welcome to the Global Taekwondo Festival 2026 a gathering born not just from tradition, but from the deep respect we all share for the art that shaped our lives. Taekwondo is more than kicks and punches. It is a way of life. It teaches us to rise after every fall, to show respect even in the face of adversity, and to hold ourselves with

honor on and off the mat. In this arena, we do not just test skill, we reveal character.

Each of you, whether athlete, coach, parent, or supporter, is a vital thread in the rich tapestry of our tradition. Your sacrifices, your dedication, and your passion have brought us all together united not by nation, language, or rank but by the values we hold sacred: Justice, Perseverance, Courtesy, Courage & Service.

This festival is a celebration of that spirit. A chance to honor those who came before us and to inspire those who will follow. From the youngest color belt to the most seasoned Grandmaster, we gather here not to chase

medals but to embody the very soul of Traditional Taekwondo.

Thank you for being part of this moment. Thank you for standing for something greater than yourself. Together, we carry the legacy forward with strength, with humility, and with heart.

Let us rise. Let us honor. Let us inspire.

Welcome to the Global Taekwondo Festival 2026. May the spirit of Taekwondo shine in each of us.

With deep respect,
