"VAN" (Sports Desk - 18.05.2026) :: World Taekwondo pays its respects to Grand Master Dai Won Moon, who passed away on May 15, by setting up a memorial altar at the federation’s headquarters in Seoul from May 18 to 20. Grand Master Moon was widely regarded as the “Father of Mexican Taekwondo” and played a pioneering role in introducing and developing Taekwondo in Mexico. He founded the Federacion Mexicana de Taekwondo and served as its president, helping lay the foundation for Mexico’s emergence as one of the world’s leading Taekwondo nations. Among his many contributions to World Taekwondo, Grand Master Moon served as a World Taekwondo Council Member and Chair of the Technical Committee. World Taekwondo remains deeply indebted to Grand Master Moon for his invaluable dedication and contribution to the global development of Taekwondo. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, students, and the entire Taekwondo community at this difficult time. Cr - World Taekwondo
