ATSA families at the International Open Taekwondo Championship 2026
Titiwangsa Kuala Lumpur, 1st to 3rd May 2026, ATSA Taekwondo took part in the International Open Taekwondo Championship held at Stadium Titiwangsa, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was a meaningful journey not only for our students, but also for every parent who has stood behind them from the very beginning.
Competing alongside participants from 6 countries and over 100 clubs, our students stepped onto the international stage with courage and determination. For many of them, this was their first time representing ATSA at an international level a moment filled with excitement, nerves, and pride.
The results were truly rewarding:
🥇 26 Gold Medals
🥈 2 Silver Medals
🥉 3 Bronze Medals
🏆 Overall Poomsae 1st Runner-Up
Behind every medal is a story — of early trainings, repeated practice, moments of doubt, and the unwavering support from parents. From February preparations to the final performance on the mat, your encouragement has been a key part of your child’s success. What made this competition special was not just the achievements, but the growth we witnessed in every child. They learned to face new opponents, adapt to new environments, and stand confidently among international athletes. They learned resilience, discipline, and how to carry themselves with respect — values that go far beyond competition.As coaches and as a team, we are especially proud to see our students return with a stronger mindset. They are not only happy with what they achieved, but more importantly, they are motivated to improve, to work harder, and to aim higher. To all our parents, thank you for your trust, your patience, and your continuous support. Your belief in your children and in ATSA makes all of this possible.This is more than a competition.This is a journey we are walking together shaping confident, disciplined, and resilient young individuals for the future.

Our primary goal in this competition is to provide each student with a meaningful experience that enhances their confidence and independence. We believe that focusing on one category allows our students to fully dedicate themselves to their preparation and performance, ensuring they gain the most from this valuable opportunity.
While we understand the excitement of competing in multiple categories, we encourage each participant to focus on just one poomsae category or one sparring category. This approach allows us to concentrate on quality over quantity, emphasizing personal growth rather than the pursuit of numerous medals. Our focus is on fostering resilience, determination, and independence—skills that will serve them well both in and out of the competition arena.
Additionally, we kindly remind you that students are expected to participate independently, which includes traveling with the team and sharing meals together without parental supervision. This is an integral part of the learning experience, helping them build camaraderie and self-reliance. We look forward to witnessing their growth and success at the upcoming competition.
