An outstanding performance from Cardiff University Taekwondo at the University World Taekwondo Championships in Leicester. With over 1,000 students competing across the weekend from universities all over the world, the standard of competition was exceptionally high.

Our athletes delivered exceptional performances in both sparring and patterns, with many competitors required to win more than six rounds in large, highly competitive categories to secure a world title. These results reflect not only talent, but also resilience, preparation, and determination at the highest level of university Taekwondo.
