Taekwondo Cooperative (TKD Co-op) is an autonomous association of taekwondo athletes united voluntarily around the world to meet their common needs and aspirations of conducting and participating in more amateur taekwondo competitions both locally and globally. The world’s first TKD Co-op was established in Seoul, South Korea in 2018.

The founders of TAC believe that the demands of the world’s amateur taekwondo athletes for interacting with a more diverse group of fellow athletes and participating in taekwondo sparring matches (‘겨루기 [kyorugi]’) beyond their own geographic vicinities have now grown to the point that they deserve to have the world’s first league of amateur taekwondo athletes organized in cooperatives. TKD Co-op enables anyone to become a member of likeminded fellow taekwondo athletes.  They can also conduct and participate in periodic competitions to be organized by their regional, national or world union of Co-ops.
