For more than 37 years, Blue Dragon Taekwondo Academy USA has served athletes, families, and communities throughout the Bay Area through martial arts training and competition. Founded in 1989 by a small family of Vietnamese immigrants, Blue Dragon was built on the belief that Taekwondo is more than a martial art or sport:
It is a way of life.
The Korea National Assembly President’s Cup U.S. Taekwondo Championship represents the next chapter of that mission.
The Korea National Assembly is the legislative body of the Republic of Korea, comparable to the United States Congress, which legislated taekwondo as Korea’s National Sport. Through the Korea National Assembly Taekwondo Federation, there is a broader mission to promote Taekwondo to more countries and communities around the world.
This will be the first major Korea National Assembly Taekwondo Federation event of its kind in the United States, under the direction of Grandmaster Thac Nguyen, U.S. Headquarters President. The event is led by Chairman Lee D**g Sup, former Kukkiwon President, and President Kyung-won Na, a member of the Korean National Assembly.
With $13,500 in total cash prizes, this event is an opportunity to recognize athletes for their dedication while giving competitors and schools a chance to challenge themselves, build relationships, and finish the competition year strong.
Our mission is to provide a clean, fair, efficient, and accessible competition while promoting Taekwondo as a way to build character, promote peace, strengthen communities, and develop leaders who lead by example.
As an organization founded by immigrants, we understand the importance of opportunity. We want to create those opportunities for the next generation — giving athletes a platform to excel, discover their potential, and soar to new heights.
We invite athletes, coaches, instructors, schools, and families from around the world to join us in San Jose this November.
We hope to see you there.
