About Us

Since its creation in 1983 in Notariado Street, no.11 in Barcelona, Daedo has been offering products with the best price/quality relationship to martial artists around the world, with a strong commitment to the development of Taekwondo and other Martial Arts such as Karate, Judo and etc. Only one year after the opening of a small shop in Balmes Street, no.55, Daedo became the Official Sponsor and Supplier at the World Taekwondo Championships in 1987. Later, it became the Official Supplier of the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992. Since then, Daedo has successfully participated in numerous world-scale Taekwondo events, such as World Taekwondo Championships and the multiple Olympic Games, including 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Furthermore, Daedo became an official sponsor of numerous Karate world-wide competitions.

We have a dream and passion for Martial Arts

After the Athens Olympic Games in 2004, the World Taekwondo Federation decided to introduce an electronic protector system in order to ensure fair play in Taekwondo competitions and keep Taekwondo as an Olympic sport in the future. As well as the WTF, Daedo has a dream and a strong passion for Taekwondo, which has led us to take the challenge and involve ourselves in the development of the Protector & Scoring System. The Truescore Technology which is incorporated in the Daedo PSS was developed in 1999 by an engineer specialized in high technology sensors in Silicon Valley, USA, with the same goal as the WTF’s: fair play in Taekwondo. Hence, Daedo and Truescore joined their efforts to bring about change and contribute to the progress of Taekwondo and its development through the development of TK-STRIKE. Furthermore, Daedo became a company approved by WKF for uniforms in 2006. Since then, Daedo became a company approved by Spanish Karate Federation and a sponsor of numerous world karate championships. Daedo has a dream and passion for Martial arts and Daedo promises a great quality of products for Martial arts athletes world-wide.
