Do: probably the most important word in Taekwon-Do. The ITF Do & Ethics Committee made sure that also in these times members of the ITF can participate at IDC’s by providing online sessions. During 3 Saturday afternoons the comité will conduct an online IDC on which some members ITF-Belgium will be present.

Multiple worldchampion Mark Trotter (VI°degree, New Zealand) gave an online seminar, in an organization of our affiliated school Bounce Back Martial Arts, Hans & Alice. The seminar was attended by participants of 9 different countries.
The exercises were very nice and useful, all brought in a very enjoyable way by Sabum Mark. Afterwards there was plenty of time for a Q&A. There were a lot of positive vibes.
April 5th-17th
The national coaches organized, together with the ITF-Belgium Tournament & Umpire Committee, an online championship in tul for candidates for the national team. This will be one of the criteria, together with e.g. the online training sessions of the last couple of months, for selection for the e-World Championships (September) and the European Championships (hopefully to be organized in November).
Good luck to all participants! Many thanks to the coaches, the TUC and the umpires involved.
