Organisers are also planning to have the booths at the Chuncheon Korea Open International Taekwondo Championships which are due to run parallel to the continental event from June 29 to July 7, also at the Hoban Gymnasium.

"As you are aware, we set up the counselling booths for taekwondo coaches and athletes at the Goyang 2022 World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships in April," read a statement from the Asian Taekwondo Union (ATU).

"Thanks to your active participation in the booths, we set up the booths again at the 2022 Asian Taekwondo Championships and Chuncheon Korea Open International Taekwondo Championships."

The ATU first trialled the booths at the World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships in Kintex in Goyang from April 21 to 24 where sport psychology and training methods counselling was also on the programme.

It also offered pain management counselling for athletes and coaches, something that is not yet available for the upcoming competitions in Chuncheon.
