From Grandmaster Matthews:
Calling All Iowa Martial Artists!
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at the World Taekwondo Hanmadang USA!
Back in 2008, I competed in power breaking—two granite bricks. Power breaking has always been my favorite part of Taekwondo. Life has brought its challenges including two battles with cancer. This year I’m giving it my all, aiming for gold at The World Taekwondo Hanmadang USA.
That’s the beauty of the Hanmadang: you don’t have to qualify—any martial artist can attend. Whether you're a beginner, a seasoned black belt, young or old, there’s an event for everyone.
Challenge yourself, step onto the mat, and let’s represent Iowa with strength and pride. Let’s show the world what Iowa martial artists are made of!
