Parathekwondo in Russia is actively engaged in many regions - Moscow, Dagestan, North Ossetia-Alania, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Sverdlovsk Region, Chechnya and other regions.
We are confident that taekwondo makes it possible for people with disabilities to feel that victory is available to them, and the taekwondo philosophy will strengthen faith in one's own strengths, in the future and help to live a full life.
