We couldn't be more excited to host Team Puerto Rico led by Grandmaster Jose Hernandez on Nov. 14th for the 2026 Midwest Taekwondo Championships !

Their athletes will bring a new level of competition and experience to the event, giving Midwest athletes the opportunity to compete against and connect with athletes they may not normally see at regional tournaments.

New opponents and new experiences, what tournaments should be about ‼
