Buenos Aires, Argentina – The world of professional Taekwondo is once again turning its eyes toward Argentina’s capital. Kombat Taekwondo Global, led by Rick W. Shin, announced that on November 1, 2025, the most anticipated event of the year will take place: “Reign of Warriors: KT017 World Titles”, a night that will crown new world champions and promises to exceed all expectations.
Last year, the world was stunned when Casino Buenos Aires, located on the banks of the Río de la Plata in the exclusive Puerto Madero district, was transformed into an unprecedented venue for a Taekwondo event. Thanks to the efforts of the Argentine franchise, that evening became a historic milestone, redefining the concept of spectacle within the sport.
As with the previous edition, KT017 Grand Prix will be broadcast live on ESPN, Disney+ and YouTube, ensuring premium international coverage. In addition, the production will feature a 10-episode documentary series to be released on Disney+, showcasing behind-the-scenes moments, fighter preparation, and the emotion of competition, bringing the experience into millions of homes worldwide.
The official statement from Kombat Taekwondo Global said it best:
“Get ready for the ultimate showdown, as Buenos Aires becomes the stage to crown the new kings and queens of world Taekwondo. Every fight is more than a match—it’s a battle for the throne!”
With a world-class venue, cutting-edge production, and the planet’s top professional fighters, Kombat Taekwondo KT017 aims to crown new champions and strengthen its innovative model that combines high-performance sport with the appeal of a global show.
Last year, the Argentine franchise made history by turning an unlikely venue into an unforgettable Taekwondo event. That night marked the beginning of a new era: professional Taekwondo stepping into the world-class entertainment spotlight, combining high-impact production with the charisma of martial arts.
Now, with the confirmation of KT017 Grand Prix, Buenos Aires reaffirms its role as a birthplace of martial spectacle, positioning itself as one of the most important locations worldwide for the growth of this discipline.
Statements from the Argentine franchise
The leadership team of Kombat Taekwondo Argentina, made up of Claudio Aranda, Dario Bonfante, and Gabriel Taraburelli, expressed their pride in once again hosting an event of this magnitude:
Claudio Aranda: “We are deeply grateful for the trust placed in us by Rick Shin and his team. Leading this company in Argentina constantly challenges us to do things differently from what has been seen before in Taekwondo. For 2025, we set out to surpass the 2024 edition because we believe there is no better place than Buenos Aires, and we want our city to be synonymous with Kombat Taekwondo and world-class spectacle.”
Dario Bonfante: “The 2024 Grand Prix was an enormous challenge and showed that with expertise, teamwork, creativity, passion, support from the companies that believe in this vision, and the backing of the global organization, Taekwondo can be transformed into a top-level entertainment product. For this new edition, we want Buenos Aires to be consolidated as synonymous with spectacle and professional Taekwondo.”
Gabriel Taraburelli: “Our goal is to surprise the audience, not only with the athletes’ technical level but also with a show that combines emotion, technique, and glamour. Buenos Aires has everything it takes to make it happen.”
On November 1, 2025, Buenos Aires will once again shine before the world: KT017 Grand Prix will not only crown champions but reaffirm the city’s status as a symbol of a spectacle once reserved only for Las Vegas, celebrating the effort and talent of Taekwondo’s fighters.
A global vision
The announcement by Kombat Taekwondo Global, under the leadership of Rick W. Shin, confirms the franchise’s strategy: taking professional Taekwondo to unique venues and transforming each event into a sports spectacle with its own identity, integrating sport, mass media, entertainment, and urban culture.
The 2025 edition promises to surpass everything seen before, with an internationally acclaimed technical setup, cutting-edge audiovisual production, and the presence of the world’s best professional competitors—all within an atmosphere that merges high-performance sport with the glamour of a world-class show.
Buenos Aires: synonymous with spectacle
With its iconic architecture, cosmopolitan nightlife, and unmatched sporting tradition, Buenos Aires stands out as the perfect venue for an event seeking to merge professional Taekwondo with the world of large-scale entertainment. The goal is clear: to make the city’s name synonymous with Kombat Taekwondo, alongside its established reputation for culture and entertainment.
The challenge has been set: the Kombat Taekwondo Grand Prix 2025 will not only crown new world champions but also solidify Buenos Aires as the global capital of martial spectacle.
