Redefining Martial Arts Excellence Across the Americas
Kombat Taekwondo (KT) has achieved a monumental accolade, being named the Best Professional Taekwondo League in Pan America of 2024. This prestigious recognition underscores KT’s unparalleled success in transforming Taekwondo into a professional sport while revolutionizing the martial arts community across the Americas.

Under the leadership of President Rick W. Shin, Kombat Taekwondo has not only set new benchmarks in martial arts but also created a legacy of innovation, inclusivity, and excellence. In just under a year, KT has expanded its reach across 121 countries, with over 2,000 licensed clubs, 1,500 certified referees, and thousands of athletes participating in high-energy, professionally broadcasted events.

Why Kombat Taekwondo Stands Out in Pan America

The award committee carefully evaluated leagues across Pan America, considering criteria such as innovation, athlete development, global reach, and cultural impact. Kombat Taekwondo excelled on all fronts, making it the undeniable leader.

Here’s what set Kombat Taekwondo apart:

• World’s First Professional Taekwondo League: Unlike traditional competitions, KT is the first league to elevate Taekwondo into a globally recognized professional sport.

• Pan American Impact: With significant growth and influence across the Americas, KT is uniting practitioners, fans, and athletes from diverse cultural and geographic backgrounds.

• Broadcast Excellence: KT events air on premier networks like ESPN, ESPN STAR+, and Disney+, captivating millions of viewers and bringing Taekwondo into the mainstream.

• Dynamic Match Formats: Electrifying competitions that combine technical brilliance and high-energy entertainment, appealing to both martial arts enthusiasts and casual sports fans.

• Athlete Empowerment: Providing fighters in Pan America opportunities for sponsorships, endorsements, and long-term professional careers.

Trailblazing Across the Americas

As the fastest-growing professional Taekwondo league, KT has left a profound impact on Pan America. Its events showcase the rich traditions of Taekwondo while adapting to the modern demands of sports entertainment. This balance of heritage and innovation has allowed KT to attract a broad audience, from lifelong martial artists to new fans.

Driving Cultural and Economic Growth

Kombat Taekwondo’s events in Pan America have gone beyond the competition arena. By hosting tournaments in countries like Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia, KT has driven sports tourism, bolstered local economies, and provided international exposure for athletes in the region. These efforts make KT not only a sports league but also a catalyst for cultural exchange and economic development.

Inspiring Athletes Across Pan America

Kombat Taekwondo is creating opportunities for athletes across Pan America to shine on the world stage. By offering a professional platform, KT is fulfilling a long-overdue demand for career pathways in Taekwondo. Young practitioners can now dream of a future where their dedication to the sport translates into professional success.

As Raul Pinzon, former President of the Colombia Taekwondo Federation, noted:
"Kombat Taekwondo has completely transformed the way I see Taekwondo. For the first time, athletes in Pan America have a clear pathway to achieve their dreams—not just as martial artists, but as professionals."

President Rick W. Shin: A Visionary Leader

At the forefront of Kombat Taekwondo’s success is President Rick W. Shin, whose vision has reshaped the trajectory of Taekwondo across Pan America and beyond. His leadership has propelled KT to become the standard-bearer for professional martial arts, inspiring athletes and fans alike.

The Kombat Taekwondo Legacy

Kombat Taekwondo is more than just a league—it’s a revolution. With its professional platform, dynamic events, and global reach, KT is redefining martial arts and setting a new standard for Taekwondo across Pan America.
