This event is an excellent opportunity to take your training to the next level with multiple training sessions in a variety of Korean martial arts most days.

Participants even train alongside accomplished students (many of whom are national and world medalists in their chosen art) for exciting workouts every day.

Sightseeing

Included in the program are sightseeing excursions for participants to learn more about the culture of Korea. Visits to the Kukkiwon (the headquarters of Taekwondo), traditional folk villages, and the capital city of Seoul offer the opportunity to better understand the Korean people and culture.
