Taekwondo really opens a lot of opportunities for coaches and students. As a way of giving back, a portion of the monthly fee is shared to some communities in the country, scholars and calamity victims. At a young age, Gaeseon Taekwondo students are exposed to outreach activities and share their time, talents and blessings to the less fortunate. The team is proud to have students who willingly aim for continuous learning and improvement, not only in the sport but also in life as a whole. They grow with SKILLS necessary to excel in taekwondo and with VALUES that will help them become socially responsible individuals.
