Participating in martial arts competitions and experiencing many activities, young Taekwondo students had a fun weekend at the 1st Summer Taekwondo Festival 2023, organized by the Can Tho City Taekwondo Federation. This is the first time the Can Tho City Taekwondo Federation has piloted this activity, with the participation of more than 60 students from Ninh Kieu, Binh Thuy and Cai Rang districts.

Smiling despite being drenched in sweat after performing the martial arts exercise, female martial artist Bui Thi Cam Ly, who works at the Taekwondo Club in Le Binh Ward (Cai Rang), said: “I have been studying Taekwondo for over a year now, and now that I can participate in this activity, I find it very meaningful, because it gives me more experience in Taekwondo and makes more friends. Normally, in the summer, my parents take me on trips, but this year I get to experience more folk games and Taekwondo competitions, so I really like it.” Martial artist Phan Kien Trinh from Ninh Kieu District said that participating in the festival allows me to compete with many martial artists from other clubs, so I learn a lot. Kien Trinh said: “The students fight beautifully and learn many skills, especially fighting techniques because I like fighting.”
After the Taekwondo competition, the martial artists participated in experiencing folk games, potters, painters, firefighters... at a playground in Phong Dien district. Therefore, not only martial artists, but also parents were pleased to let their children participate in the festival. Mr. Le Hoai Cong, resident of Le Binh ward, Cai Rang district, said: "This activity is very meaningful, especially organized in the summer, it is an opportunity for children to approach practical activities. The games offered by the Organizing Committee are opportunities for children to practice techniques, physical strength and life skills. I fully support this activity because it helps martial artists connect more. Then through the experiences, it helps them improve their life skills."
The combination of martial arts with other experiential activities really brings excitement to Taekwondo students. However, this is the first time it has been organized, so the Can Tho City Taekwondo Federation is cautiously piloting, so the scale has not been expanded, in order to have assessments of the effectiveness of this activity. Mr. Tran Trong Can, Vice President of the Can Tho City Taekwondo Federation, said: The purpose of this activity is to create a playground for children who are participating in Taekwondo training. Piloting an additional healthy summer entertainment playground for children. The federation plans to expand the organization for young people practicing Taekwondo throughout the city in the near future.
If the festival is expanded, Taekwondo students throughout Can Tho City will have more useful playgrounds during the summer. Participating in this activity helps them train their intelligence and intellect, gain better life knowledge and thereby Taekwondo will develop more and more.
