Introduction
I am extremely excited to announce that Dorset Taekwondo Association will be hosting our very own Hanmadang on Sunday October 20th 2019 at the Grange School in Christchurch.
What is a Hanmadang I hear you ask? The word Hanmadang literally translates to Festival, so a Taekwondo Hanmadang is a celebration of the sport which enables people of all ages to demonstrate their skill at the same time as having fun and competing. We will have refreshments available during the day so you wont have to miss any of the action. Make sure you tag us in all your photos from the event we will be using the tag #dtafestival19
