33rd ANNUAL TAEKWONDO AMERICA FALL TOURNAMENT
Taekwondo America - Omaha, NE and the University of Nebraska at Lincoln Taekwondo Club (UNL) hosted the 33rd Annual Taekwondo America Fall Tournament on Saturday, September 12, 2026 at Bellevue West High School in Bellevue, NE. We were honored to have more than 2 dozen martial arts schools from Nebraska and Iowa send competitors, many of which were participating in their first tournament, to allow friends to gather together and meet in good competition and sportsmanship.
Taekwondo America - Omaha, NE and UNL had 48 competitors of our own with several of them experiencing their first such event. We applaud their spirit. Please join us in recognizing and congratulating them for their efforts...
