Report 181st IIC, Sardinia, Italy
From September 20th to 22nd the 181st International Instructor’s Course took place on the beautiful island of Sardinia in Italy.
Three days of technical content in which all patterns were covered next to a broad range of other topics like self-defense, stepsparring and free sparring. The ITF Technical Committee was respresented by the chairperson Grandmaster Marano, Grandmaster Lan and our own Belgian Master Dionisi who wrote history as the first woman to teach at an IIC.
This IIC was organised by Master Christian Oriolani and Sabum Silvia Farigu. Together with a large group of volunteers, they did a remarkable job and brought the IIC to the sunny coastal region of Arborea, a Taekwon-Do setting unlike any other.
168 Taekwon-Do practitioners from 15 countries were attending, from which 11 ITF Belgium members. Schools represented were Bounce Back Martal Arts, Taekwon-Do club Hodori, Hwa-Rang, Red Force, Samjok-O and ITF Brussels.
Three days filled with our beloved Taekwon-Do which left us grateful for the knowledge provided and the company of old and new friends.
