As part of the preparations for the 2026 Poomsae World Championships in South Korea, the 2026 Pan American Online Open Poomsae Championships will be held—a competition aimed at strengthening the technical skills of athletes across the continent and continuing to promote the growth of this discipline in the region.
The event will bring together competitors from various countries across the Pan American region in a digital format that will allow for greater accessibility and participation, providing athletes with a valuable opportunity to gauge their performance in a high-level competitive environment.
Poomsae has established itself as one of the fastest-growing disciplines in the Americas, a region that in recent years has achieved outstanding results at the international level and has become one of the world’s leading powers in this sport.
Through this competition, PATU reaffirms its commitment to strengthening Pan American poomsae by providing opportunities that contribute to the preparation of athletes, coaches, and judges for the most important international challenges of the sporting cycle.
With initiatives like this, the Pan American Taekwondo Union continues to work to keep the Americas among the world’s elite in poomsae and to continue building a solid foundation for future generations of competitors.
