Damián Quintero, a legend of Spanish karate, will remain linked to the brand as an official ambassador following his recent retirement from competition.

     

    The Málaga-born athlete brought his outstanding sporting career to a close at the latest Karate World Championships held in Cairo, marking the end of a journey defined by success, consistency, and excellence. Olympic silver medalist at Tokyo 2020, multiple-time European champion, and an undisputed global reference in kata, Quintero leaves an indelible mark on the history of the sport.

    Throughout these years, Daedo has supported the athlete at every step of his journey, sharing values such as commitment, innovation, and passion for sport. This renewal as ambassador strengthens a relationship built on mutual trust and shared growth.

     

    In this new stage away from the tatami, Damián Quintero will play a key role as a brand representative, helping to enhance its international presence while passing on his experience to new generations of athletes. His knowledge, prestige, and career will be essential in continuing to position Daedo as a leading name in sports equipment.

    With this agreement, Daedo not only maintains its connection with one of the most influential figures in world karate, but also reaffirms its commitment to shaping the future of the sport alongside those who have helped define its history.

    Daedo GEN3 PSS System, Officially Certified by World Taekwondo (WT)

    Daedo, a leading company in Taekwondo PSS, has obtained World Taekwondo (WT) official certification for its latest product, the GEN3 PSS System. With this certification, Daedo is set to introduce GEN3 PSS System to the global Taekwondo market.

    GEN3 PSS System

    The Daedo GEN3 PSS System consists of an E-trunk, E-headgear, E-foot protectors, a transmitter, a receiver, and a joystick. It incorporates cutting-edge technology and a new design to ensure more precise match judgments. The development of GEN3 was led by Dr. Jin Song from the United States, along with CEO Chuen Wook Park, Director Sam Park, and the Daedo PSS team (Protector Scoring System), who went through an extensive process of development, modification, and testing. After undergoing numerous internal tests and WT LAB testing, the system achieved WT official certification.

    Key Technologies and Advantages of GEN3

    Enhanced Wireless Communication and Data Transmission Technology: The GEN3 PSS System has been completely redesigned to improve impact sensitivity between the E-trunk and E-headgear. The new communication system maximizes signal accuracy even in challenging environments, ensuring real-time data transmission and increasing the reliability of match judgments.

    Lightweight Design and Improved Comfort: Compared to previous PSS models, GEN3 is lighter and features increased flexibility, enhancing athletes’ comfort during matches.

    Improved Design: The design of the E-trunk and E-headgear has been refined for a more sophisticated appearance while also improving functionality and stability.

    Additional Foot Sensor: The number of sensors has increased from 11 to 15, enabling more precise detection of kicks.

    However, during this certification process, the punch sensor was not included, as the WT Technical Committee has currently postponed its use. Nevertheless, Daedo continues to refine this feature in anticipation of future updates. Additionally, Daedo has developed a gyro sensing sensor to facilitate more dynamic Taekwondo matches, but its approval from WT is still pending.

    CEO Chuen Wook Park of Daedo stated, “With the WT official certification, we expect the GEN3 PSS to set the new standard for Taekwondo competitions. Our goal is to create a more accurate and exciting Taekwondo experience. We will continue to provide optimal match environments for athletes, enhance the fairness and accuracy of scoring, and contribute to the advancement of Taekwondo match technology.”

    The GEN3 PSS Enters the Global Market

    The Daedo GEN3 PSS is available for purchase through Daedo’s Spain headquarters (daedo@daedo.com), Daedo Corea (www.daedocorea.com), and official distributors and online stores (www.daedo.com). Additionally, GEN3 will be used in various international competitions, starting with the Türkiye tournament on February 8.

    Significance of WT Official Certification

    Taekwondo is a sport that rapidly adopts new technologies, and the Protector Scoring System (PSS) has become an essential component for fair competition. Since adopting PSS as official match equipment at the 2012 London Olympics, WT has continued their use in the 2016 Rio, 2020 Tokyo and 2024 Paris Olympics, also in Youth Olympics.

    Daedo has been a leading provider of PSS for major international competitions, including the 2012 London, 2016 Rio, and 2020 Tokyo Olympics, driving the modernization of Taekwondo match operations. With this latest WT official certification, the GEN3 PSS System is now officially eligible for use in all WT-sanctioned international competitions for the next four years.

    Daedo remains committed to technological innovation, aiming to establish a new paradigm in Taekwondo match operations while providing a fair and highly reliable competition environment.

    How to keep your karategi flawless?

    A karategi is the traditional uniform used to practice karate. It consists of three main parts:

    1. Jacket or Uwagi: A long-sleeved jacket, usually straight-cut and open at the front. It is secured with internal and external ties for a proper fit.

    2. Pants or Zubon: Loose and comfortable pants that allow freedom of movement, essential for karate techniques and footwork. They are adjusted at the waist with a drawstring or elastic band.

    3. Belt or Obi: A belt tied around the waist, with its color indicating the practitioner’s level of experience or rank. The colors range from white for beginners to black for advanced practitioners.

    Karategis are typically made from materials designed to be durable, breathable, and capable of withstanding the intense movements of karate. They are usually white, symbolizing purity and simplicity, although in advanced practices or competitions, black karategis may also be used.

    Basic Instructions for Washing Your Karategi

    1. Wash at a low temperature: Ideally, wash your karategi at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Higher temperatures may shrink the fabric and alter its shape.

     

    2. Avoid bleach and harsh whiteners: These products can weaken the fabric fibers, causing premature tears. For whitening, opt for mild, bleach-free products.

     

    3. Do not use a dryer: Excessive heat from the dryer can damage the fabric and cause shrinkage. Air-drying is best, but avoid direct sunlight to prevent brittleness or loss of the bright white color.

     

    4. Iron without steam at a low temperature: If you wish to iron your karategi, ensure the temperature does not exceed 110°C (230°F). This helps maintain the fabric’s integrity.

     

    5. Wash dark karategis and colored belts separately: If you have a black karategi or colored belts, wash them separately to prevent dye transfer onto other garments or the uniform itself.

    Practical Tips for Maintaining Your Karategi

    In addition to following official instructions, experienced karate practitioners have developed their own methods to keep their karategi in top condition. Here are some useful tips based on their experience:

    1. Use short wash cycles: Most karatekas opt for wash cycles under 60 minutes. A short cycle is enough to clean the karategi without unnecessary wear.

     

    2. Don’t overuse fabric softener: While some use a small amount, it is generally not recommended to use fabric softener regularly, as it can affect the fabric’s natural stiffness, which helps maintain the karategi’s structure.

     

    3. Pre-treat tough stains: For sweat stains or heavily exposed areas like the collar or hips, apply some liquid detergent or dish soap before washing. A soft brush can also help for deeper cleaning.

     

    4. Proper drying: Air-dry your karategi in the shade, either hung on a hanger or folded, depending on your preference. This helps maintain its whiteness and prevents sunlight damage.

     

    5. Iron when completely dry: If ironing, make sure your karategi is fully dry. While some practitioners use steam, others avoid it to preserve the fabric’s resistance.

     

    6. Wash sparingly: Washing only when necessary extends the karategi’s lifespan. A weekly wash is sufficient for regular use, while competition uniforms may require less frequent washing.

     

    7. Use grease removers or specific stain removers: For tough stains like those on collars or underarms caused by sweat, use anti-grease or stain removal products before washing, such as KH7 or similar detergents.

    Maintaining your karategi in excellent condition requires balancing official guidelines with practical tips. Wash with cold or warm water, avoid harsh products, and pay attention to proper drying and ironing to ensure the fabric’s longevity. With these tips, you can keep your karategi clean and well-preserved for much longer. Remember, a pristine karategi reflects respect and discipline for yourself and your martial art!

    Fran Garrigós: The Judoka Turning Dreams into Medals

    When we talk about perseverance, dedication, and passion for sports, the name Fran Garrigós stands out. This Spanish judoka has not only made his mark on the tatami but also in the hearts of those who follow his journey. With his recent bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Fran proves that the road to greatness is paved with effort, discipline, and a touch of humility.

    More Than an Athlete, a Lover of Life

    Although judo is his passion and profession, Fran has other hobbies that recharge his energy: practicing sports, enjoying action series, and spending time with his family. “I love traveling and indulging in a burger or pizza after a tough week of training,” he confesses. Favorite series? Anything action-packed to unwind after an intense session on the tatami.

    The Origins of a Champion

    Did you know Fran started practicing judo at just four years old? It was a decision made by his parents, and from the very beginning, he was hooked. His first mastered technique was the seoi nage, which quickly allowed him to stand out in children’s competitions. Since then, he has continued to grow and refine his technique.

    Routines That Build Champions

    Fran’s success is no coincidence; his training routine is relentless. From Monday to Friday, he trains twice daily: gym sessions in the morning and tatami sessions in the afternoon. Saturdays are reserved for physical conditioning, depending on the season. One of his recommendations for improving grips and throws is clear: pull-ups, rope climbing, and randoris (training matches).

    His favorite technique is the sode tsurikomi goshi, a throw he perfects with constant repetition and grip variations. His advice for mastering it? Start with basic movements and gradually add resistance.

    The Strategy of a Mental Warrior

    Before facing an opponent, Fran thoroughly studies their matches, focusing on left-handed rivals like himself. “It’s key to know their strengths and weaknesses, but the most important thing is to stick to the planned strategy,” he explains. Additionally, he places great emphasis on ne-waza (ground techniques), as they can make all the difference in evenly matched bouts.

    Regarding his mental preparation, he works with psychologist Pablo del Río, focusing on controlling what’s within his power and letting go of the pressure of outcomes. His pre-competition ritual is simple but powerful: stay present and avoid being distracted by what might happen next.

    Moments That Define a Career

    Among his most memorable matches is the semifinal of the 2023 World Championship against Takato, a favorite whom he managed to defeat to reach the final. But not everything has been easy. Fran vividly recalls his painful defeat at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where he was eliminated in the first match. That moment made him question whether to continue in judo, but he found in that frustration the motivation to come back stronger.

    Beyond the Tatami: Life Lessons

    For Fran, judo has been more than a sport—it has been a school of life. “The most important lesson it has taught me is that with effort, sacrifice, and discipline, you can achieve anything you set your mind to,” he affirms. Outside the tatami, he applies the principles of Kodokan, such as respect and efficiency, to everyday situations.

    Inspiring the Next Generation

    Fran is a living example that dreams can be achieved through hard work and perseverance. His advice for new judokas is to set clear short, medium, and long-term goals. While he acknowledges making mistakes early on, such as neglecting his weight or ignoring some technical advice, he values these experiences as essential parts of his learning process.

    When asked about the legacy he hopes to leave, Fran is clear: “Beyond the results, I’d like to improve judo in Spain and show the next generations that with hard work and effort, you can achieve whatever you set out to do.”

    The Future of Judo and His Vision

    With judo constantly evolving, Fran highlights the sport’s global growth and how more and more countries are reaching the podium. He’s convinced that judo will continue solidifying itself as one of the most competitive and professional sports on an international level.

    A Legacy in the Making

    Fran Garrigós is not just an Olympic medalist; he is an example of resilience and dedication. From his first steps in Brunete to claiming bronze in Paris 2024, his story inspires those seeking to overcome obstacles and pursue their dreams. With every match, Fran builds not only his own history but also a legacy that will take Spanish judo to new heights.

    Everything we learned from Jone Magdaleno in this interview

    Did you know that Jone Magdaleno, one of Spain’s most promising Taekwondo athletes, started practicing this martial art practically from the moment she could crawl?

    With a mix of discipline, talent, and love for the sport, Jone has not only achieved success on the European stage but has also inspired a new generation of practitioners. Discover who this athlete really is and what makes her unique both on and off the mat in this interview.

    A Life Dedicated to Taekwondo

    Jone Magdaleno grew up surrounded by Taekwondo. Her parents, who owned a Taekwondo club, passed on their love for the martial art from an early age. “I’ve always loved it, both the technique and the combat,” she shares. Although there wasn’t a specific moment that defined her vocation, her connection to the sport grew steadily over time.

    “What I value most about Taekwondo are its values: discipline, sportsmanship, and effort,” she explains. These values not only guide her training but also serve as the compass for her life outside the mat.

    A Champion’s Routine: Daily Effort and Consistency

    For Jone, success isn’t a matter of luck but of hard work. Her daily routine includes two Taekwondo sessions—one in the morning and another in the afternoon—along with gym workouts. As a competition approaches, her coach and physical trainer adjust the workload to ensure she’s in peak condition.

    What are her secrets for perfecting her techniques? The answer is simple: repetition and giving 100% effort. “There’s no point in practicing if you’re not doing it with maximum intensity,” she asserts. This mindset also applies to developing skills like flexibility and elasticity, where consistency is key.

    Strategy in Combat

    On the mat, Jone is strategic and precise. Her favorite kick, the dollyo chagui (roundhouse kick), is her main weapon for dominating matches. For more advanced techniques, such as the double spin or spinning hook kick, she observes and learns from experienced athletes, perfecting them through relentless practice.

    She also emphasizes the importance of visualization and training in real-life scenarios to anticipate and react quickly to an opponent’s movements—an essential skill in such a dynamic sport.

    Mental Strength: A Key to Success

    Physical ability isn’t everything in Taekwondo, and Jone knows this well. Her mental preparation is just as intense as her physical training. Before an important match, she relies on positive visualization and breathing techniques to maintain her calm and confidence. “It’s essential to trust in the preparation you’ve done,” she says.

     

    However, not everything is about staying calm:

    “Nerves and pressure will always be there; it’s part of the game. That’s why psychological preparation is crucial.”

    This mental focus helps her not only compete but also overcome challenges off the mat.

    Unforgettable Moments

    The pinnacle of her career so far was becoming European Champion in the senior category. For Jone, this achievement not only marked a milestone in her career but also served as a reward for years of dedication and sacrifice.

    But it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Like any athlete, she has faced significant challenges, including injuries and unexpected setbacks during competitions. “Staying calm in tough situations is a big challenge, but overcoming them has helped me grow both as an athlete and as a person,” she reflects.

    Values On and Off the Mat

    Taekwondo has shaped Jone in more ways than one. The discipline and effort this sport has taught her have also helped her achieve academic goals, such as preparing for a competitive exam. And although the journey hasn’t always been easy, she firmly believes that “effort is always worth it.”

    She applies these values daily: “All the lessons I’ve learned from Taekwondo, I use in my everyday life.” For her, Taekwondo isn’t just a sport but a way of life.

    Overcoming Challenges with Resilience

    Injuries and losses are inevitable in a sports career, but Jone faces them with a positive mindset. During injuries, she stays active by adapting her training, while in moments of frustration after a defeat, she focuses on analyzing and learning from her mistakes.

    “No one can stay undefeated forever. Losses teach you more than victories if you know how to learn from them,” she explains. Her motivation to keep going lies in her spirit of self-improvement and her love for the process.

    The Future of Taekwondo and Jone Magdaleno’s Legacy

    Jone is clear that she still has many goals to achieve. While she doesn’t set limits for herself, she enjoys every step of the journey. She also looks forward to the future of Taekwondo in events like the Olympics, which she believes offer a great opportunity for more people to discover and fall in love with the martial art.

    When asked what message she wants to share with future generations, her response is straightforward and full of inspiration: “Don’t limit yourselves. Fight every day for what you want, both in sports and in life.”

    A Champion’s Advice for Beginners

    For those starting out in Taekwondo, Jone offers a golden piece of advice: “Enjoy the process.” She believes one of the most common mistakes beginners make is seeking immediate results when the true learning lies in the journey.

    “A loss can teach you more than a victory if you know how to learn from it,” she states. This mindset of constant growth is what has made her a leading figure in Spanish Taekwondo.

    Jone Magdaleno is not just an elite athlete; she is a shining example of dedication, resilience, and love for Taekwondo. Her story inspires anyone striving to achieve their goals, whether on or off the mat. Are you ready to follow in her footsteps?
