The Korea Sports Council of Orange County participated in six sporting events this past year – bowling, table tennis, baseball, and badminton plus ice hockey – fielding an elite team that achieved great success.
Taekwondo is a martial art and sport that dates back over two millennia, having first originated in Korea over two millennia ago. As a defensive combat system, it combines sharp, strong, angular movements with free-flowing circular moves for maximum power with its distinctive kicking techniques, which distinguishes it from other Asian martial arts.
Taekwondo has been one of the world’s most popular sports since 2000 and became an Olympic event with full medal status in 2000. Characterized by kicks, punches, blocks, throws, sweeps, joint locks, and grappling techniques, South Korean military units even use Taekwondo.
Taekwondo matches typically consist of three two-minute rounds controlled by a referee, with athletes competing in weight classes to ensure competitions are fair and equal for all athletes. At the end of three games or following knockout or referee’s decision, the winning athlete receives either the most points scored at the end or an official decision by the referee (known as dobok or hog). Athletes wear these traditional martial arts uniforms during competitions.
Choi Hong Hi, the creator of Taekwon-Do, developed his martial arts system using physical principles. His theories emphasized the leg’s dominance over arm power; concentration, combat philosophy, and fitness were all highlighted within it as essential components. Today, his ideas remain influential.
Basketball is a beloved tradition in Korea, where athletes compete at all levels, from high school to college and regular divisions. National championships for this sport take place each October across cities in Korea. Beyond sporting events, this festival includes cultural activities such as K-food festivals and photo exhibitions commemorating 70 years since the Korea-U.S. alliance and armistice agreements were signed – this helps second and third-generation Korean Americans who participate build their identity as proud Koreans.
2023 marked New York City’s 22nd Korean American National Sports Festival, beginning June 23 at Nassau County Veterans Memorial Coliseum and Eisenhower Park Sports Center. Los Angeles held on to their fifth-place finish while New York City defeated Washington DC and Dallas for overall glory to claim first place overall.
The Korean National Sports Festival has long been an integral part of their nation’s athletics, culture, and history. Olympic games were first hosted by South Korea in 1920 but did not officially compete under their flag until 1948 when Sohn Kee-Jeong won the gold medal in marathon racing at the Berlin Olympics under the Korean banner. Today, the National Sports Festival serves an integral role in Korean culture and serves as an arena to foster patriotism while simultaneously seeking peace through competition among nations through sporting activities with lofty ideals.
Soccer has worldwide appeal and an incredible following, estimated to number over 240 million registered players globally and billions of fans. At the 22nd Korean American National Sports Festival, we will showcase both skill and endurance associated with this great sport – along with being an opportunity for Korean culture – thereby going beyond mere sports competition.
The inaugural Korean Sports Festival was first organized in 1925, then revised in 1934 and 1945 after the liberation of Korea. Subsequently, it was renamed the National Sports Festival after its release and started competing between cities and provinces across Korea, the first time Korea participated as an individual nation at the Olympic games as an independent nation; since then, Korea has competed successfully at various major international competitions like the Olympics.
Korea has long been known for producing world-class athletes in all sorts of sports. Some even won Olympic gold medals! Golf and baseball players, in particular, have left a lasting impression, becoming some of the premier destinations for professional players today.
The 22nd Korean American National Sports Festival will take place June 23-25th at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Eisenhower Park Sports Center, and Nassau Community College.

The 22nd Korean American National Sports Festival took place from June 23-25 in New York City and featured competition in soccer, baseball, and basketball – with New York City winning their inaugural overall championship over Washington DC – not to mention K-food vendors and cultural activities throughout.
The festival was created to foster positive thinking and foster participation within communities, with the aim of celebrating notable achievements among players throughout the nation. Held every two years, its participants include second and third-generation Korean Americans.
Softball is a team sport played with four bases and a ball, with the objective of scoring more runs than your rival team. Umpires provide oversight. The ball used is typically covered with leather or synthetic materials to produce an 11-12 in. diameter sphere covered in leather or synthetic materials – usually 11-12 in (28-30 cm). The batting team hits the ball while runners run in order to reach base before returning home plate, touching each one on the route backward, then touching back home plate before returning home again. Game action occurs on a diamond-shaped diamond field featuring grass infield and foul boundary boundaries for play.
Popular among many countries, particularly New Zealand and Japan – its home nations – where the sport originated. Indeed, the New Zealand women’s team has won multiple world championship titles over recent years! Additionally, high schools and colleges around the globe play this form of competitive soccer.
The Korean National Sports Festival is a multi-sport competition held each October for one whole week, attracting athletes from cities and provinces throughout Korea to compete in 39 different sports. Attracting over 20,000 athletes from across Korea each year, its site rotates among significant cities such as Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Gwangju, and Incheon for maximum attendance. Additionally, over 10,000 children and girls take part each year at its Children’s National Sports Festival!
This summer’s 22nd Korean American National Sports Festival, held in New York City, was designed to foster communication and unity among Korean Americans. Participants in the sports festival developed intellect, virtue, and mutual respect while meeting new people and making connections.
KANSF not only featured its annual competition but also hosted several cultural events this year, such as a K-food feast and photo exhibition commemorating 70 years since the Korean alliance and armistice agreements were inked; these activities helped unite community members and create an identity among second-generation Korean American youths.
The Korean American Sports National Federation (KANSF) is the premier sporting event for Korean Americans living in the US, celebrating 37 years and taking place every two years. Their purpose is to bring out their national spirit by acknowledging their outstanding achievements and fostering team spirit amongst Korean Americans.
Fencing is an engaging physical sport requiring skillful coordination and stability that provides plenty of physical challenges for participants. Furthermore, fencing offers a fantastic opportunity to become quicker on your feet while increasing mental agility – plus an added benefit: meeting new people.
The 22nd Korean American National Sports Festival returned after a four-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic on June 23-25th in New York City, hosted at Nassau County Veterans Memorial Colosseum, Eisenhower Park Sports Center, and Nassau Community College. Event organizers sought to foster cultural events while creating unity within their Korean communities through this festival.
Fencers’ unique asymmetry of movement stands out, yet its dynamic and repetitive exercises have long been known to contribute significantly to injuries. Particularly vulnerable are lower limb injuries – evidenced by high rates of first and second-degree strains/sprains among their first-year players compared with only 2.73-3.2% time loss injuries related to breaking sword blades during 5-year surveys – yet most injuries happen elsewhere: in knee and thigh.
Studies indicate that as competition levels increase, so too do its effects on neuromuscular coordination and balance. For instance, elite fencers can generate greater hip flexion force during lunge movements from their leading leg than novice ones, enabling them to adopt low on-guard positions with increased sword velocity [70]. By contrast, novice fencing may lack effective neuromuscular strategies for these complex multi-segmental movements.
