The US Open this year was held in early March 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada and is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world and is  just one tier below the World Championships.

The level of competition was extremely high, with athletes representing countries such as Korea, Mexico, Spain, Guatemala, and Ecuador, among many others.

Competing at this level requires tremendous courage and dedication, and we are incredibly proud of every athlete who stepped onto the mat.

Congratulations to all of our athletes for representing K.S. Choi Taekwondo with excellence.
