INTERNATIONAL POOMSAE CAMP Austria
Peter Nestler, President of DOJANG Wien Taekwondo organises an INTERNATIONAL POOMSAE CAMP in Austria since 2024. The IPC – INTERNATIONAL POOMSAE CAMP Austria was created to promote Poomsae in Europe. Every year, some of the leading poomsae coaches are invited to teach the current standards of World Taekwondo for Poomsae competition.
Anyone who wants to improve their Poomsae performance – for personal development or to achieve better results at international tournaments – should definitely take part in this camp. The IPC Austria has a proven track record of athletes improving their performances and achieving medals at national and international Poomsae championships.
The camp is open to all Poomsae enthusiasts: athletes, coaches, referees from all age groups.

In contrast to many other poomsae camps, our focus is on teaching the current Poomsae standards of World Taekwondo. This is of course interesting for coaches and athletes from national teams, but also for other poomsae athletes who are looking to reach the top.
„Another advantage of the IPC over other camps is the multi-coach concept,“ reveals Peter Nestler, founder of the successful IPC Austria series. „We offer successful coaches and athletes as coaches, as well as some leading WT International Referees who are able and willing to give precise advice on the most up-to-date WT Scoring Guidelines and WT Ccompetition Rules and Interpretations. Overall, we definitely offer the most comprehensive package in Europe you can get,“ says Nestler.
IPC Austria 2027 aviso: 17-21 July 2027, Traiskirchen (subject to change)
The 3rd International Poomsae Camp Austria 2026 was held from 4th July to 8th July. As in the previous years, we had some of the leading Poomsae coaches from Europe at our camp. All participants got the latest know-how in Taekwondo Poomsae. Each day had three sessions with up to 7 hours of Poomsae training.
In 2026, the IPC Austria consisted of two different streams:
A) for all National team athletes preparing for the World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships in Korea in September 2026,
B) for all aspiring Poomsae athletes and their coaches willing to improve their performance.
For the first time, the IPC Austria had a special bonus day (Thursday, 9th July), reserved for one-on-one sessions with individual trainings with our coaches present. Those sessions were used to train in private sessions intensively to the needs of each athlete.
There were again the test matches with immediate feedback from the coaches at the IPC 2026 Austria in all available competition formats – cut-off, single elimination, one-by-one and side-by-side. The day started with an exciting mini-championship.
Freestyle Poomsae was also back for the IPC 2026 Austria! The sessions were led by the former National Team Coach Iegor Medved (UKR).
Once again, there was a WT Poomsae Rules & Regulations seminar at the IPC 2026 Austria, held by WT International Referee Peter Nestler. For athletes and coaches it is important to always keep up to date with the current rules and regulations to get the best scores for their performances.

The 2nd INTERNATIONAL POOMSAE CAMP Austria 2025 was intensive with a clear focus on quality. With more than 30 hours of training on four days and a half there was plenty of input for all participants. The test matches on day 3 were held like a small championship with single elimination matches side-by-side for all individuals and one-by-one for pairs and teams. Since then, some of the participants achieved great success and several medals in important national and international Poomsae competitions.
