Thus, to establish a teacher training system, regular training and studies for taekwondo teachers are necessary, in order to improve the overall operational capacity and scientific research ability of the teachers.Unified teaching materials should be used in universities. The teaching material should agree with the psychology and character of undergraduates as well as their needs for practicing the sport.

Meanwhile, construct venues and such hardware facilities; improve the environment of teaching, ease the situation of the shortage of venues, facilities and equipments.Universities should uncover the sports value of taekwondo as well as its spirit and culture, seeing taekwondo as an important way to fertilize high-quality personnel. Except for basic teaching, universities can use games, lectures and community activities as a platform to increase overall quality of students.
