It’s a beautiful place and the kukkiwon and taekwondowon are the places where practitioners of taekwondo metaphorically go home to. It’s where the spirit of taekwondo meets the art of life.                  -2025 Participant \n\n\n\nIt was awesome definitely worth going and will be a fun experience to tell people that you have trained in Korea.-2025 Participant \n\n\n\nYou should go\, if you can. It was a wonderful experience.                      – 2025 Participant \n\n\n\nIt’s the best experience and you will make unforgettable memories with people you don’t get to see everyday! Don’t let the thought of training in Korea intimidate you\, it’s nothing but helpful and an amazing opportunity for growth.                  -2025 Participant  \n\n\n\nDefinitely one of the best experiences I have had in my life so far ! -2025 Participant
