Staring this year, the popular ‘Taekwondo Demonstration Performance,’ which has been held previously at Gyeonghuigung Palace, will move its stage to Namsangol Hanok Village in order to accommodate a greater number of tourists. Also, ‘Taekwondo Experience Program for International Visitors’ at the village offers courses on basic taekwondo theories and practices, such as kicks, gyeokpa (board smashing), self-defense and mediation. Visitors can sign up for the program online and pay at the venue.
In addition, certified members of Kukkiwon, the World Taekwondo Headquarters, will hold regular taekwondo performances throughout the city of Seoul. The off-stage taekwondo demonstration will take place once a month at major tourist sites in downtown Seoul. Special performances will be held in May and October at Seoul Plaza or Cheonggye Plaza. Hi Seoul Festival (May 5 – May 9), for instance, will present taekwondo demonstration by children, non-verbal taekwondo performances and an extreme challenge performance.
