In accordance with the General Administration of Sport of China’s regulations on sports events and activitiesAs the “Enter Scenic Areas, Enter Neighborhoods, Enter Commercial Districts” (hereinafter referred to as the “Three Entries”) policy continues to deepen, how to efficiently integrate high-end sports resources with rich cultural and tourism resources has become a key issue in the upgrading of the sports industry. Yesterday, the 2026 Youth Taekwondo Tactical Intensive Training Camp, organized by WayChamp Technology, officially kicked off at the New Yuanming Garden in Hengdian. More than 200 taekwondo athletes from 14 national teams gathered for the event. Under the guidance of “top coaches” from China, South Korea, and Kazakhstan, they will undergo 12 days of high-intensity, closed-door training alongside 12 promising young athletes from Kazakhstan. This is not only a high-level professional training camp but also a comprehensive experiment by WayChamp in areas such as innovation in event scenarios and the cultivation of talent across diverse programs.
I. Policy Implementation:Enhancing the Quality and Efficiency of Scenic Area Cultural Spaces by Transforming Them into Competitive Cultural Spaces
This training camp breaks the boundaries of traditional gyms, bringingThe 1,600-square-meter professional training facility is seamlessly integrated into the complex of classical Chinese and Western-style architecture at Yuanming New Garden within the Hengdian Film and Television City, with its eight indoor venues achieving a “seamless integration” of competitive sports and immersive cultural tourism. This initiative not only extends the functional scope of the scenic area but also leverages Hengdian’s rich film and television landscape resources to enhance the event’s brand visibility, serving as a successful example of implementing the “Three Entries” policy and driving the transformation and upgrading of cultural and tourism consumption.
At the same time, the venue’s innovative partnership model has further optimized the allocation of camp operating costs. Leveraging the increasingly comprehensive infrastructure at Hengdian World Studios, the organizers have significantly reduced redundant expenses related to temporary construction and logistical support. ThisThe strategy of “light-asset operations and heavy investment in content” has allowed more core resources to be allocated to cutting-edge technical support, a top-tier lineup of instructors, and scientific support for athletes.
II. Industry Benchmarks:Hardware-Enabled and Software-Driven"Dual-Strength" Safeguards
As a targeted training program for young industry elites, this event set extremely high industry standards in terms of professional support. The spacious training facilities ensured thatMore than 200 competitors maintained a safe distance from one another during the matches, and the latest version of WayChamp’s electronic protective gear made its global debut on the first day of the camp. This cutting-edge technology supports precise and effective training, marking a significant hardware upgrade.
On the software side, led by South Korea’s two-time Olympic champion Hwang Kyung-sun,Head Coach of the South Korean National Youth TeamAn international coaching team—comprising Park Jeong-woo, Kazakhstani legend Vladislav Kim, and others—delivered a comprehensive curriculum covering technical and tactical skills, interpretations of new rules, and live sparring. Furthermore, by incorporating 12 top Kazakhstani athletes to train alongside the participants throughout the program, this “cross-national sparring” mechanism broke the technical ruts of domestic youth athletes. Through the clash of diverse styles, the program cultivated a pool of practical, competitive talent equipped with a global competitive perspective and the ability to adapt under high pressure.
III. Shared Values:In-Depth Collaboration: From “Single-Purpose Training Camps” to an “Industrial Ecosystem”
At the organizational and operational level, this training camp not only focuses on the short-term improvement of the participating athletes’ competitive performance but also aims to foster a long-term, virtuous cycle within the industry ecosystem. The organizers designed a wide range of interactive, scenario-based training modules that effectively alleviated the fatigue experienced by young athletes resulting from prolonged, isolated training by making the sessions more engaging and participatory. At the same time, through ceremonial elements such as the distribution of customized commemorative gift packs, the organizers subtly reinforced the participants’ sense of belonging.
The 2026 Youth Taekwondo Tactical Intensive Training Camp represents not only a key strategic move by Hechang Technology to deepen its involvement in the “Sports+” sector, but also marks the beginning of a new chapter in its in-depth strategic partnership with Hengdian World Studios. Moving forward, Hechang Technology will continue to tap into the synergies of “Sports + Cultural Tourism,” explore further possibilities for taekwondo under social and market-oriented operations, and contribute innovative corporate strength to the development of China as a sports powerhouse.
