The Peace Corps of Martial Arts
The Taekwondo Humanitarian Foundation (THF) has expanded its reach into twenty new regions in 2026. Taekwondo is increasingly recognized as a tool for physical and psychological empowerment in refugee communities.
Cultural Bridges
Through international "Poomsae Exchange" programs, practitioners from disparate cultures are finding common ground in the universal language of motion. This cultural soft power is a key pillar of the World Taekwondo global strategy.
Olympic Values
Taekwondo continues to lead the way in gender equality and Paralympic inclusion. In 2026, the participation rates among women and para-athletes have reached parity with male athletes in several key federations.
