Dear friends!
I am glad to welcome you on the website of the Ukraine Taekwondo Union (UTU) – the young and dynamic organization that is meant to develop and promote this martial art in our country.
Taekwondo originated over 2000 years ago. Today it is not only an Olympic kind of sport, but primarily is a spiritual system with its own traditions and philosophy.
Under the UTU auspices such international tournaments as “Kyiv Open” and “Korean Ambassador’s Cup” are held where our athletes show brilliant results.
I practiced taekwondo myself professionally. Based on my experience I can say: you can not be mediocre in sport. Or you are a champion, or no one will remember you. Taekwondo is strength, endurance, movements coordination, as well as perseverance in achieving goals, courage and justice. These qualities, I hope, we bring up in a new generation of leaders who are ready to take responsibility for themselves and the welfare of Ukraine.
