Our vision
Since our founding in 1986, the New York State Taekwondo Association has witnessed the powerful evolution of our mission. We are dedicated to fostering a vibrant community of taekwondo practitioners across the state, encouraging athletes to embrace taekwondo not just as a sport, but as a way of life.
Our vision centers on empowering individuals to challenge themselves both physically and mentally, embodying the core values of discipline, perseverance, and commitment. We believe that through taekwondo, athletes can demonstrate the strength of their will.
We are proud to host the annual New York State Governor’s Cup, bringing together grassroots and professional athletes to sharpen, develop, and strengthen their taekwondo skills. Additionally, we promote the President’s Volunteer Service Award, recognizing our athletes’ commitment to volunteerism, as we believe in encouraging a disciplined life both on and off the mat.
As we look to the future, we remain committed to innovation and inclusivity, ensuring that taekwondo is accessible to all and continues to evolve. Together, we will elevate the practice of taekwondo, inspiring generations to embrace its transformative power and fostering a community where everyone can grow and thrive.
