The taekwondo event of the 14th Guiyang Games attracted more than 10 teams from all schools, counties and districts to participate in the event on Dec 10.

"Taekwondo not only exercises people's physiques, but can also exercise their will. This sport also teaches them to respect their teachers while promoting healthy mental development," stated the head of the taekwondo event.

Additionally, according to local reports, the competition provided a good opportunity for Guiyang to discover and cultivate excellent athletes, further improve the technical level of taekwondo in the city, as well as play a positive role in promoting the city's extensive development.
