Career

Hoffmann started practising the Korean martial arts taekwondo in 2013 at the age of seven and trained at Bergstrasse Bensheim Taekwondo Club in Hessen, Germany. [4] [5] Since 2025, she trains at Taekwondo Poomsae Team Bensheim, where she is also a coach. [6]

Pia Hoffmann took part in her first international competition in 2019 at the Belgian Open Poomsae in Hasselt, where she won third place in the individual cadet competition in traditional poomsae. [7] [8]

At the 2020 World Championships, she reached the semi-finals with a seventh place in the preliminary round, but did not qualify for the next round due to placing tenth in the semi-finals. The competition was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [9] [10]

In 2022, she took part in the World Poomsae Championships in Goyang, where she placed fifth with Ana Catalina Pohl and Helena Silberhorn in the junior's traditional forms team competition. [11]

At cadet and junior level, Hoffmann became German champion four times, runner-up once, and bronze medallist once. She won her first German senior championship title with the freestyle team in 2022. [8]

At the 2023 European Championships in Innsbruck, Hoffmann won a bronze medal in the individual junior competition and, as part of the mixed team (consisting of five team members, at least two men and two women), a silver medal in the seniors' freestyle competition alongside teammates Ana Catalina Pohl, Leah Lawall, Jules Berger and Julius Müller. [12] [13]

In 2024, Hoffmann competed for the first time as an individual senior at the Bulgaria Open in Sofia and claimed the silver medal in the women's traditional poomsae competition. [8] In 2024, she competed as part of the mixed freestyle team at the World Poomsae Championships in Hong Kong, with which she placed fifth in the semi-finals and ultimately seventh in the final. She also competed in the women's individual poomsae competition, where she lost out to Japanese athlete Akari Shinano and thereby achieved a 17th place. [14]

At the 2025 European Championships, Pia Hoffmann beat Austrian athlete Anna Schneeberger in the semi-finals and thus became Vice European Poomsae Champion in the women's individual competition. [15] She also claimed a bronze medal with the freestyle team. [16]

Personal life

Hoffmann lives with diabetes. [17]
