THE PHILIPPINE Taekwondo Association has brought some of the finest jins from South Korea to train the national team for the 2016 Asian Taekwondo Championships on April 19 to 20 at Marriot Convention Center in Pasay City.

The event is the sport’s last qualifying tournament for the 2016 Olympics in Rio De Janeiro where at least 30 Asian countries are seeking slots.

Mella added the team has begun sparring with the Korean aces.
