Taekwondo

Established at INSEP in 2001, the national taekwondo squad brings together the best French national athletes at senior and junior level working to prepare for major international competitions, such as the European championships, the world championships and the Olympic Games. A feeder squad was set up in Fontainebleau to prepare talent to integrate INSEP. As the Olympic qualifying period approaches, the INSEP squad has focused its efforts on a tighter group.
