Touch in Korea, Touch in Korean 2

Touch video with explanation in Korean.
Note: The official name of this sport is "Touch" but this video used the term "touch rugby" for Koreans who are new to the sport and have no idea what this is.

Touch in Korea closes out 2012 season

Looks like Touch is over for the year in Korea....ahhhh, shame! However, 2011 has been a year for building and a change in regime as responsibility for running things was steadily transferred to a new team. So how about 2012? Will this be the year that Korea picks it up again, gets the ITS (International Touch Seoul) tournament going again and maybe even joins FIT? That would take a lot of organising but with a strong tournaments in Shanghai and Hong Kong, then perhaps a sort of NE Asia champions league could emerge...a bit like the IRB Rugby Sevens? Hope that enough people with the time and energy to devote to building the sport come forward....meanwhile, if you check the Korea Touch Association website and Facebook pages, you can see that there is plent of interest which could be turned into action!
