The class, due to take place for the first time in December, will involve participation from three organisations: Gangwon Myugjin School, Incheon Hyegwang School and Daegu University. 

A demonstration team featuring athletes with visual impairments is also expected to be formed.

This is expected to be led by Moon, the Athens 2004 over 80 kilogram champion, who also won the 1999 world and 2002 Asian Games titles, and remains a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) until next year.

Coming just six months after the International Paralympic Committee confirmed that taekwondo would be added to the Paralympic programme at Tokyo 2020, it is a major opportunity to continue the growth of the discipline in the nation most steeped in the sport's history and origin.

While still the world's most dominant nation in Olympic taekwondo, South Korea has been less successful in the Paralympic version so far, having won no medals at last year's World Championships in Moscow.

Visually impaired competition is a growing part of taekwondo, alongside those for physically and intellectually impaired athletes.
