Get Ready to Win

The AAU Taekwondo Nationals — the nation’s biggest and most prestigious tournament — will be right here in Knoxville this summer, and lots of us will be going to the big dance.

Qualifying for Nationals is just the first step: It takes lots of hard work to make sure you’re prepared to do your best. If you’re competing, come to as many tournament prep workshops as you can. We’ll fine-tune your forms, sharpen your sparring and give you an inside look at what you can expect at Nationals. Cost for each workshop is $10.
