The 2025 Malaysia National Taekwondo Championships recently concluded in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan.

At the 2025 Malaysia National Taekwondo Championships
Waychamp is the only company in China—and the third in the world—to be certified by the World Taekwondo Federation as a provider of electronic taekwondo protective gear. It is worth noting that this appearance at the Malaysian tournament is not Waychamp’s first foray into international markets. Prior to this, the brand’s electronic protective gear had already been deployed in mass-participation events across numerous countries and regions, including Russia, Spain, France, Singapore, and the Philippines. In the domestic Chinese market, Waychamp holds an absolute dominant position, with coverage exceeding 95% in professional competitions and a market share surpassing 70% in the mass market. At the recently concluded 15th National Games taekwondo competition, Waychamp successfully fulfilled its duties as the designated protective gear brand. Its robust credentials and track record have given the brand the confidence to make a strong debut in professional taekwondo competitions overseas.

This year’s Malaysian National Championships were on an unprecedented scale, bringing together 1,648 elite taekwondo athletes from 79 top teams across the country. During the high-intensity three-day competition, which took place simultaneously across 12 venues, Waychamp’s electronic protective gear delivered a flawless performance with zero disconnections, zero errors, and zero disputes. In addition, the poomsae scoring system seamlessly switched between various modes—including individual, mixed doubles, team, and freestyle poomsae—laying a solid technical foundation for the smooth progression of the competition.
The Technical Chairman of the Malaysian Taekwondo Association said after the event, “We are very pleased to be partnering with Waychamp. Their system performed flawlessly. This is not only a successful technical application but also an important step toward advancing Malaysian taekwondo toward digitalization and smart technology.”
It is reported that Waychamp has now become the designated electronic protective gear brand for two high-level international events: the 2025 Bangkok World Taekwondo Grand Prix Challenge and the 2025 World Taekwondo U21 Championships in Kenya. Leveraging the exemplary impact of these high-level international events, Waychamp will continue to simultaneously promote its consumer-grade protective gear, cultivate demand in international end-user markets, and implement a tiered international development strategy—building market foundations, breaking through certification barriers, establishing a reputation through competitions, and expanding its ecosystem—to accelerate global market development and establish itself as a benchmark international sports technology brand representing “Made in China.”
