Who We Are
World Taekwondo Jamaica (WTJ) is Jamaica's sole Member National Association under World Taekwondo — the International Olympic Committee-recognized governing body for the sport of Taekwondo worldwide.
Founded with the mission of developing and promoting Kukkiwon-certified Taekwondo across Jamaica, WTJ oversees all aspects of the sport from grassroots participation to elite international competition. Our athletes compete under the World Taekwondo ranking system, earning qualification points toward the Olympic Games, Youth Olympic Games, and regional championships.
WTJ works in strategic partnership with the Jamaica Olympic Association (JOA), the Sports Development Foundation (SDF), and the Korean Embassy Jamaica to ensure our athletes receive the support, resources, and international access needed to compete and excel at the highest levels of the sport.
Through our network of member schools across Jamaica and internationally, WTJ provides structured programs for students from age 5 through adult, developing not only athletic excellence but the core values of taekwondo: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit.
Leadership
The World Taekwondo Jamaica Executive Committee is elected by member schools and operates in the best interests of Jamaican taekwondo athletes, coaches, and the wider sporting community. It ensures compliance with World Taekwondo statutes and the WTJ Constitution.
Master Kenroy Clarke is the President of World Taekwondo Jamaica and the founder and Head Instructor of World Taekwondo Mandeville (WTM), based at Church Teachers' College in Mandeville. He has been developing Jamaica's national taekwondo program to international standard since 2017, under the mentorship of Grandmaster Christopher Chok. Mr. Clarke holds a background in Sports Administration and ICT, and has been instrumental in securing JOA and SDF funding, fostering partnerships with the Korean Embassy, and fielding Jamaica's first Youth Olympic pathway athletes. He also serves as Jamaica's Athlete Representative to the IOC Athletes' Commission, attending international conferences and advocating for Caribbean athlete welfare at the Olympic movement level.
GM Bang ran Mexico's national programme at the highest levels before bringing that experience to Jamaica. He holds an 8th Dan and trains out of his academy in Conroe, Texas — but his fingerprints are all over WTJ's technical standards, competition prep, and the whole approach to developing athletes who can actually compete internationally. When the team goes to a major, he's there.
@younginbangMaster Tony Byon is WTJ's Head Coach — the person in the gym breaking down technique, running drills, and making sure athletes are ready when it counts. He works directly with Brandon Sealy and coordinates closely with the wider coaching staff to keep standards sharp across all divisions.
@tonybyonGrandmaster Eui Lee is 8th Dan, in the World Taekwondo Hall of Fame, and has worked with the US Olympic programme. He coaches Kende and K'nedy Bentho through his academy in Maple Grove, Minnesota — part of WTJ's international partnership network. Having someone at his level coach two Jamaican cadets is genuinely rare, and it shows in how they compete.
Master Antwaun Wilson coaches Daniel Balli — a 15-year-old now competing at junior level. Daniel's move up from the cadet division makes this a pivotal moment in his development, and Wilson is the person managing that transition day to day. Junior competition is a different beast, and having dedicated one-on-one coaching at this stage matters.
Nathan Hall coaches Spencer Hall from Manchester, UK. Spencer competes for Jamaica despite training in England, and Nathan is the one making that work — handling the day-to-day sessions, managing Spencer's conditioning, and keeping him competition-ready between WTJ camps. It's an international setup that requires real coordination, and it's working.

"The US Open is not an ordinary tournament. It draws hundreds of athletes from across the Americas and beyond, many of whom train full-time, are supported by national programmes with decades of infrastructure. Jamaica drew those opponents, and the team did not flinch."
— Kenroy Clarke, WTJ President
