About the World Taekwondo Culture Expo ✨
This annual international festival celebrates Taekwondo as both a martial art and a treasured part of Korean heritage. Hosted at the Taekwondowon — the world’s largest Taekwondo training and cultural complex — the event gathers thousands of practitioners from across the globe.

Beyond competitions in Poomsae, Kyorugi, demonstrations, and technical seminars, participants also experience traditional Korean culture through performances, sightseeing, hands-on activities, and friendship-building programs. The Expo stands as a global stage to compete, learn, and uphold Taekwondo’s core values: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit.
