As part of the presentation, olympic taekwondo gold medallist, Jade Jones, was present in Coventry to cheer on the 428 people, to claim a Guinness World Record of the largest taekwondo display, as per an article posted by itv.com. The champion had planned to take part in the display at Broadgate herself, but had to pull out due to injury.
The previous record was held by SAHK and the Eastern Dragon Taekwondo Federation Hong Kong, who had 338 people in their demonstration. The record is now held by Taekwondo UK. The group gathered in Broadgate to set the world record. A certificate for the record was handed over to Stuart Pearson who was the organiser of such event.

The largest Taekwondo display was performed under the inauguration ceremony of the Seoul Olympic Games of 1988 where more than 2000 Taekwondoins were involved in one single show (Check YouTube). Guniess World Record might have received a good sum of money for this Broadgate show-down.
No sorry Arash Kamiab that was the largest one up to 1988. But the next year in Pyongyang, Korea they broke that record in July 1989 in their 150,000 seat stadium when they hosted the 13th World Festival of Youth & Students.
