Singapore — January 25, 2026 — Kombat Taekwondo proudly announces the public release of the 10-part Kombat Poomsae Series, marking a historic achievement in the global development of professional Taekwondo. This groundbreaking curriculum establishes the first official standard of Kombat Poomsae for global instruction, certification, and future competition formats under the Kombat Taekwondo system.
Developed by Grandmaster Dario Bonfante and the Kombat Taekwondo Technical Team, the Kombat Poomsae Series represents a significant step toward unifying technical education within Kombat Taekwondo.
Kombat Poomsae bridges the gap between form and fight, emphasizing real-world striking mechanics, mobility, angles, and tactical sequencing rarely seen in traditional forms.
The idea to develop Kombat Poomsae originated from the need to provide new training modules for clubs, instructors, and practitioners. For decades, the majority of Taekwondo schools and practitioners have been limited to traditional poomsae and instructional methods.
For the first time, Taekwondo practitioners now have access to a structured poomsae system designed for modern combat application, rather than purely aesthetic performance.
Rick W. Shin, President of Kombat Taekwondo: "Kombat Taekwondo is proud to introduce our own structured combat-based Poomsae system. While traditional poomsae have served as a foundation for Taekwondo for decades, this development expands the art into a modern combat-based framework."
Grandmaster Dario Bonfante: "The Kombat Poomsae Series represents years of experience and dedication to technical innovation. Our goal was to create a curriculum that is both meaningful and functional for Kombat Taekwondo."
The Kombat Poomsae Series is now publicly available on the official Kombat Taekwondo YouTube Channel.
