"We compete nationally 2 to 3 times a year, but this was our À rst

time here. It was a strange, but exciting experience as we learned

about other cultures and about other experiences. Uzbek Jang Sanati,

Chinese Wushu, and Penjak Silat were the coolest though!"

"I have been here since the very

À rst day it began as a performer

and competitor. At the beginning

it was just a big demonstration

hidden within a festival. Now

it has changed to encompass

competition and prizes. That's not

really my thing, but it promotes

the arts well though. I love the

exchange of the arts between the

visitors and us Koreans. I will be

back next time for sure."
