Dan Chuang, NCTA President, said “I am so excited to see the level of the Games rise with the increase in the World Taekwondo ranking designation. I am also looking forward to seeing a high level of competition at this year’s NCTA Team Trials. Thank you to Texas State Taekwondo Association President Dong Lee for his support in giving these team team trials a venue.”
