• 760 participants
• 170 sets of medals across individual and team disciplines for athletes aged 6 to 34
• Pro-Fight divisions with cash prizes

Special appreciation is extended to Master Aidyn Kamytbaev and Master Mokhabbat Sovetkhan of Kazakhstan for their outstanding contribution to strengthening cultural ties and Taekwon-Do cooperation within the Central Asian community.
