A new video released by the Taekwondo Humanitarian Foundation (THF) features some of the initiative's youngsters in action.

The short clip features students who live at the Azraq refugee camp in Jordan.

They are shown practicing spinning kicks with a THF coach.

The video offers a great insight into the work of THF, which is working to help refugees and other displaced people around the world.

Established by the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), the THF aims to teach the sport and related educational programmes.

WTF President Chungwon Choue officially announced his plan to establish the THF in his speech at the UN headquarters in New York City on the 2015 United Nations International Day of Peace. 


Most of those living in Azraq have fled the conflict in bordering Syria.  

Other projects are underway in Jordan as well as in Turkey and Nepal.

Plans are also in place for Rwanda, Ethiopia and Colombia. 

Mini competitions are held for the youngsters at Azraq, where medals are handed out.

The events give the hopefuls the experience of a competitive environment, with the chance to "feel a medal" for the first time boosting their confidence.
