A trio of grandmasters have held a taekwondo demonstration in Rio Grande in Argentina as part of a tour of the region.

Jae Kyu-chon, Yong Chae-ku and Fernando Mezei gave a masterclass for more than 100 local taekwondo athletes in the Argentinian city.

Jae is a representative of the Korea Taekwondo Association, while Yong was the first World Taekwondo instructor in Argentina in the 1970s and had a spell as coach of the national team.

Mezei is a member of the Argentine Confederation of Taekwondo and is in charge of the sport in the region.

The stop in Rio Grande, located on the north coast of the eastern part of the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, came after the three grandmasters held similar demonstrations in other parts of Argentina.

Their tour began in Buenos Aires before they travelled to Córdoba and on to Rio Grande.
