Lonely Planet review

The Kukkiwon dojang (hall) hosts a regular schedule of taekwondo displays, training courses and tournaments. Expect to see graceful movements, acrobatic high kicking that defies gravity and spectacular pine-board breaking. Saturday and Wednesday mornings are when demonstration teams practice, except during university holidays. The museum (admission free; ;09:00-17:00 Mon-Fri) has photos, cups, medals and uniforms relating to the sport.
