The WTF World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships, is a new competition that started few years ago, but it became so popular and got a huge audience, also this competition has encouraged many retired athletes in Kyorugi and also some older Grand Masters to come back to lights and participate again!
GM Kyu-Hyun Lee is a good example of those Grand Masters who came back to competition, aged of about 70 years old, the GM Lee is still making a good performance, and inspiring the old generations that Taekwondo is for everyone, no matter their age.
For this 9th World taekwondo Poomsae edition, The WTF adopted a standardized Poomsae competition Dobok for competitors in three divisions:
Cadet Division competitors (12-14 years old) should wear a white top with black and red collar for males and females, while the blue pant will be for males and red one for females.
