A Leading Competition Team with a Strong Tournament Presence

The US Taekwondo Institute Competition Team is one of the largest and most active teams in the state. We are consistently among the top programs in tournament participation, supporting local and national events with a strong and growing team presence.

This program represents the highest level of training within the US Taekwondo Institute and is reserved for students who demonstrate commitment, discipline, and readiness for competition.

A High Performance Approach

Our coaching staff is committed to ongoing education and professional development. With advanced degrees and continued study in sport performance, training methodology, and athlete development, we apply evidence-based principles to our training.

This allows us to go beyond traditional instruction and provide athletes with a structured, progressive, and performance driven training system.

Proven Results

Our athletes have achieved success at the state, national, and international levels. Over the years, we have produced:

• State Champions
• National Medalists
• International Competitors and Champions

Our team regularly travels across the United States and internationally, providing athletes with opportunities to compete at the highest levels of the sport.

Consistent Athlete Development

High level success is not accidental. While most programs may never produce a national level athlete, our focus is on building a system that consistently develops athletes over time.

The US Taekwondo Institute Competition Team includes multiple athletes representing different countries at the national level, demonstrating the effectiveness and consistency of our training approach.

This is not the result of chance or circumstance. It is the product of structured training, experienced coaching, and a long-term approach to athlete development.

National Team Representation

In the past six years, athletes from the US Taekwondo Institute have earned positions on the following national teams:

• United States: 1
• Puerto Rico: 12
• Trinidad and Tobago: 1
• Costa Rica: 3

These accomplishments reflect the dedication of our athletes, the guidance and continued commitment of our coaching staff to each student's success, and the strength of our training system.

Team Structure and Selection

Participation on the competition team is not required and is not open enrollment.

Students who demonstrate interest, consistency, and readiness may be invited to join the competition team. This ensures that all team members are prepared for the increased level of training and commitment required.

Competition team members receive additional training sessions focused on:

• Sparring strategy and application
• Reaction and timing development
• Advanced technical training
• Competition specific conditioning

For elite athletes competing at major events such as world championships, Pan American competitions, and qualification tournaments, individualized programming is provided to prepare for upcoming events.
