In Thanh Thuy Ward, I met Minh, a 10-year-old boy in a Taekwondo uniform. Three years ago, he was a shy child, often sick and reluctant to communicate. But in the summer of 2024, his mother enrolled him in a nearby Taekwondo class. After just three summer months, Minh not only became healthier but also gained the confidence to give presentations in front of his class - something he had never dared to do before.

On the morning of July 2nd, Hue City Youth Activity Center hosted the 2nd Open Youth Taekwondo Tournament - 2025.

There have been signs of advances in Taekwondo, the province's strong sport, which was selected as a key sport in group 1 in the 2021-2025 period.

Ranking first and second in the province, alongside the appearance of many excellent martial arts students, Phong Dien District has been known as the "cradle" of Taekwondo in Thua Thien Hue.

There is the sign of slowdown against the years 2017 - 2019. It is time for Thua Thien Hue Taekwondo to change for advancement.
