A venue was established to explore innovation in sports Taekwondo competitions and strategies for industrial development in the AI era.
According to Sports Plus, the 6th Sports Taekwondo International Convergence Conference in 2026 was successfully held over two days from the 4th to the 5th at Narae Hall of the Taekwondowon in Muju, Jeollabuk-do. The event, co-organized by the Korean Society for Sports Management, was attended by more than 300 participants, including domestic and international sports and AI experts as well as Taekwondo officials.
On the first day of the conference, discussions focused on innovative approaches to education, competition, and broadcasting in sports Taekwondo utilizing AI technology. On the 5th, an academic research presentation contest on sports Taekwondo AI and a university student AI idea competition were held.
In his welcome address, WT President Cho Jung-won stated, "The World Taekwondo Federation is currently implementing an AI project in collaboration with the IOC, becoming the first international sports federation to do so. AI technology will become a new turning point for the development of sports Taekwondo." He added, "Given that virtual Taekwondo has been adopted as an official medal event at the 2026 Nagoya Asian Games, we expect it to develop into global sports content by integrating with advanced technologies."
Professor Jung Byeong-gi from Keimyung University, who planned the event, remarked, "This conference was a meaningful occasion that confirmed the possibilities of convergence between sports Taekwondo and AI technology from both academic and industrial perspectives. We hope it will serve as a new starting point for strengthening the global competitiveness of sports Taekwondo and expanding its international cooperation network."
