KATHMANDU: The Nepal Taekwondo Association is organising the first NTA Open Taekwondo Poomsae League on April 12.

The league features 35 events in seven different categories including senior, junior, cadet and super cadet, informed the organisers at a press meet on Sunday.

The NTA has formed a seven-member committee under its vice-president Bhani Bahadur Chand, while executive committee member Bablu Siwakoti is the convenor of the organising committee.

"We win seven gold medals in poomsae in the 13th South Asian Games and two poomsae categories are included in the Asian Games.

The league will be helpful for us to identify potential medallists in international tournaments," said Chand.
