Poomsae

Poomsae will be part of the full US Open 2026 program in all its modalities and competitive divisions, with the participation, as always, of FreeStyle and all its magic.

This edition once again brings together delegations and competitive volume in the same venue, with on-site registration and centralized operations.

In Para Kyorugi, the program will include weigh-ins and classification during the championship.

In Para Poomsae, participation will require a previously assigned Sport Class and Sport Class Status; athletes with Not Eligible (NE) or Classification Not Complete (CNC) status will not be eligible to compete. In this modality, there will be no prior classification within the event.
