Anjan Dhamala rises from national athlete to global taekwondo leader

Born in Gorkha, Dhamala grew up in an economically constrained environment and later moved to Kathmandu after completing his School Leaving Certificate (SLC). His journey in sports began after relocating to the capital, where he was introduced to Taekwondo during his student life. He initially trained in WTF Taekwondo under Olympic-level coach Man Bahadur Tamang before shifting his focus to ITF Taekwondo, which became his primary sporting discipline.
