Resumen

La International Academic Conference for Taekwondo (iACT) 2019 se celebró los días 17 y 18 de febrero en la Universidad de Stanford. Contó con numerosos investigadores del ámbito de las ciencias sociales, académicos de taekwondo de todo el mundo y diversas organizaciones internacionales ligadas al taekwondo. Esta ha sido la primera vez que una conferencia académica sobre este o cualquier deporte de combate se ha llevado a cabo en una universidad de élite de renombre mundial. La celebración de la iACT 2019 en la Universidad de Stanford confirmó a los investigadores de taekwondo y sus ideas y, sin duda, legitimó al taekwondo como un campo de investigación académico. Este informe resume los eventos de la conferencia y resume los conceptos más destacables presentados en la iACT 2019.
