Organized by California, USA, a total of nine medals: eight golds and one silver medal were clinched by the prized taekwondo jins from the Diasnes gym.

Familiar faces bannered the prominent Iloilo taekwondo gym and were also the same group of jins who impressed during the 4th Lents Taekwondo Worldwide Sports Online Poomsae 2021.

Leading the A. diasnes gym are staples Elaine Margaret Borres, Kian Ezekiel Castigador, and Seth Ryan Templanza who all won gold medals.

Completing the list of the gold medalists are Elizabeth Marie Borres, Elisha Venice Aguilar, and Janus Miguel Tacsagon.

The lone Diasnes jin who managed to land in second place is Antonio Miguel Nafarrete in the Traditional Individual Poomsae of the Cadet Male Blackbelt division.
