DESCRIPTION:Dear Grand Masters\, Masters\, and Instructors: \nIt is an honor to invite you to participate in the First ITF Adapted Taekwon-Do World Cup\, an event that will mark a milestone in the history of the ITF. This historic competition will take place within the framework of the “9th Mar del Plata Taekwon-Do World Cup 2024\,” which will be held at the Islas Malvinas Sports Stadium\, Mar del Plata\, Argentina\, from October 28 to November 3\, 2024. \nFor the first time in ITF history\, a competition will be held exclusively for athletes with disabilities\, whether physical\, motor\, sensory\, or intellectual. This edition will feature the Individual Patterns category\, ranging from 4th Kup to 4th Dan. The age divisions will include Pre-Junior\, Junior\, Adult\, and Advanced Senior. \nThe age divisions will be as follows: \n\nPre-Junior: born between 2009 and 2011\nJunior: born between 2006 and 2008\nAdult: born between 1988 and 2005\nSenior: born in 1987 or earlier\n\nAfter registration\, the categories will be divided according to belt level and different degrees of disability. In case there are fewer than 4 competitors in a category\, they may be merged. \nThe evaluation of each competitor’s degree of disability will be carried out by the ITF Inclusion Committee\, under the leadership of Sbn. Anabel Vicario\, along with her specialized team. All participants must undergo the evaluation committee’s review\, presenting their medical certificate of fitness for competition\, clearly stating the type and degree of disability. Additionally\, the Unique Disability Certificate (CUD) must be presented. The final admission and classification of each competitor will be determined by the ITF Inclusion Committee\, and this decision will be final and irrevocable. \nThe competition will be supervised by a special team of referees certified in Adapted Taekwon-Do\, under the direction of Grand Master Abelardo Benzaquén\, Chair of the Umpire Committee. \nRegistrations will be open until October 5\, 2024\, through the sportdata.org platform via the ITF online database (https://data.itftkd.sport). Each registration must be made through the club participating in the World Cup\, provided it has access to the platform\, or through the National or Allied Association of each country. The CUD must be sent by email to lorosduek@itftkd.org\, indicating the corresponding registration number. \nThe registration fee is USD 100\, and no penalties will be applied for accommodations outside of the official hotels. \nWe trust that this event will set a new standard in our community\, allowing athletes with disabilities to showcase their talent and spirit on an international stage. \nWarm regards\, and we look forward to your participation in this historic event for the ITF and our athletes with disabilities. \nGM Abelardo Benzaquén\nChair of the Umpire Committee\nSbn Anabel Vicario\nChair of the Inclusion Committee \n  \nPS: more information on the location\, accommodation options\, transportation\, etc can be found in the official invitation of the World Cup 2024

SUMMARY:Online IDC November 2024
DESCRIPTION:Online International Do Course \nNovember 10th and 24th\, 2024\, from 3pm to 10pm (UTC time) \n  \nWhat are the dates and times of the International Do Course (IDC)? \nThe IDC is a two-day course. It is delivered over at the rate of 6 hours per day for a total of 12 hours. Each day includes two 3-hour sessions and a 1-hour break between the two sessions. \nThe first day of the course (Day 1) will be on November 10th\, 2024\, from 3pm to 10pm (UTC time) and the second day (Day 2) will be on November 24th\, 2024\, also from 3pm to 10pm (UTC-time). \nPlease note that\, depending on when you switch from Summer Time to Standard Time or from Standard Time to Summer Time in your time zone\, the UTC-time may not correspond exactly to the same local time on both days. To convert UTC to your local time\, go to http://www.timebie.com/std/utc.php and follow web page instructions. \n  \nWho may register for the course? \nThe course is open to all ITF Taekwon-Do members from 2nd grade/gup (red belt) and above\, who also are 16 years of age or older. \n  \nHow much does it cost to register for the course? \n100 € (Euros) for the course (a total of 12 hours) and handouts (e.g.\, copies of PowerPoint presentations). \nITF Board Members and ITF Committee Chairpersons may register for free according to the decision of the ITF. \n  \nHow do I register for the course? \nRegistrations for the course must be done via request in ITF database. All ITF member organizations have access to the data base. \nPlease make sure that you register your attendance at “ITF Courses” (on ITF Online) through the Secretary-General of your National Organization. Once you have registered in the ITF database\, you will be assigned a registration number that you will find next to your name. \nIf you experience any difficulty registering for the course\, please contact your National Organization or the ITF Head Office at itfonline@itftkd.sport \n  \nHow do I pay for the course? \nPayment for the course can be made to ITF by your National via Custom Request\, in which the National Database administrator must enter the number of persons who have registered for the IDC\, their name\, and the total amount\, and make the payment to the ITF account trough credit card\, bank transfer\, PayPal or others. \nIf you experience any difficulty making the payment for the course\, please contact your National Organization or the ITF Head Office at itfonline@itftkd.sport \n  \nWhat is the deadline to register for the course? \nSunday\, November 3rd\, 2024\, 11pm (UTC time). \n  \nWhat will be the language of instructions during the course? \nThe course will be conducted in English. There will be no translation from English into Spanish or any other languages – an IDC to be conducted in Spanish is planned for 2025\, but the date has yet to be determined. \nCopies of PowerPoint presentations and other course materials will be available in English. \n  \nWhat does the course cover? \nDuring the course\, you will be taken on a journey to explore what it means to be truly a man or a woman of Taekwon-Do (TKD)\, as defined by General Choi\, and how one becomes truly a man or a woman of Taekwon-Do.  \nTopics for Day 1 and Day 2 will be as follows: \nDay 1 – Part 1: Moral culture and TKD; Origin and meaning of the word “DO”; the Tenets of TKD; Student’s Oath; Connecting Do to moral culture\, tenets\, oath\, and goal of TKD; Stages of moral development; Psychology of human behaviour; Self-control (what it is and why it matters; how to develop better self-control; how to teach self-control to TKD students; applications in dojang and daily life). \nDay 1 – Part 2: Courtesy (what it is and why it matters; how to become more courteous; how to teach courtesy to TKD students; applications in dojang and daily life); Integrity (what it is and why it matters; how to develop and maintain integrity; how to teach integrity to TKD students; applications in dojang and daily life); Ethical/moral decision making (how to resolve moral dilemmas / conflicts between tenets of TKD). \nDay 2 – Part 1: Perseverance (what it is and why it matters; how to develop and strengthen perseverance; how to teach perseverance to TKD students; applications in dojang and daily life); Motivation and goal-setting (how to set effective goals in TKD and life); \nDay 2 – Part 2: Indomitable spirit (what it is and why it matters; how to develop an indomitable spirit; how to teach indomitable spirit to TKD students; applications in dojang and daily life); Integration of Do teaching into regular TKD classes (general guideline and tips). \n  \nWho is the IDC for? \nThe course is for all Taekwon-Do practitioners who are interested in studying the Do and developing a way of life based on the moral culture of Taekwon-Do\, as well as for all Taekwon-Do instructors and assistant instructors interested in learning how to teach the Do and integrate the teaching of the Do in the teaching of Taekwon-Do. \nIt does not matter if you are an experienced or less experienced Taekwon-Do practitioner or instructor. The course will provide you with a great learning experience that will increase your knowledge and understanding of the Do and the moral culture of Taekwon-Do. \n  \nLikewise\, it does not matter if you have already participated in one or several IDCs before. IDCs are not always conducted by the same course instructors and the different parts of the course are not always taught by the same instructors. This means that there are differences in what is presented and what is highlighted from one course to the next. So\, if you have already participated in one or more IDCs\, you are bound to learn something new or develop a better understanding of what you have learned earlier. Besides\, so much material is presented each time that it is impossible to remember or understand it all. This is what happens when you attend an International Instructors’ Course (IIC). It may be similar to the last one\, but you still enjoy it because you learn or understand something that you missed earlier. It works the same for the IDC. \n  \nWhy should I seriously consider to register for the IDC? \nIn his last publication\, Moral Guide Book (2000)\, General Choi wrote: “…the only way one can truly achieve the status as a man of Taekwon-Do is to go beyond the technical aspect and establish a lifestyle based on a solid code of morality.” (p. 9). For him\, physical and moral training were two indivisible parts of the study of Taekwon-Do. Without the emphasis on moral development\, Taekwon-Do is just a sport\, not a martial art. The true nature and spirit of a martial art is in the learning and teaching of the Do\, i.e.\, the “way”\, the “right way” as General Choi calls it. For him\, the “right away” is the “way paved by the saints and wise people of the past.” \nFurthermore\, teaching the Do is good for business. With so many businesses competing for the customer’s money and attention\, each business has to work hard to set itself apart from its competitors. Those instructors who are able to teach the Do effectively and provide moral training in addition to physical training have a competitive edge on their business competitors. They can offer a product that is unique\, needed\, demanded\, and better than the competition. This means that they can attract more students in their dojang. \n  \nIs participation in IDCs required for promotion to a higher black belt degree? \nApplicants for promotion to 7th degree black belt and above are already required to participate in at least one IDC to be eligible for promotion to 7th degree and above. As of 1 April 2025\, applicants for promotion to 4th degree and above will be required to participate in at least one IDC to be eligible for promotion to 4th degree and above. \n  \nIs there an exam for the course? \nThere is no exam for this course. \n  \nWill there be physical activities during the course? \nActivities during the course will include primarily actively listening to oral presentations\, participating in quiz and small group discussions\, engaging in thinking and self-reflection exercises\, and putting into practice the knowledge and skills learned. Video clips will also be used to show how to use Taekwon-Do exercises and other practical strategies to teach the Do and develop the Tenets of Taekwon-Do. \n  \nWill it be possible to ask questions during the course? \nYes\, there will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of each part of the course. However\, participants will be asked to submit their questions via the “Chat” feature on the Zoom platform. We will select which questions to answer\, focusing primarily on the questions most relevant for the course and the audience. \n  \nWhat will I receive when I register? \nYou will receive a confirmation of your registration by e-mail which will also be a receipt of your payment. \nLater (usually about two days before the course)\, you will receive a Zoom link via e-mail to use for joining the course on Day 1 and Day 2 of IDC. In the same email\, you will be provided with information about the dress protocol for the course\, instructions to follow to be admitted to the course meeting room (for example\, the need to enter your full name in Roman alphabet as a username when connecting to Zoom)\, instructions to follow while waiting for the course to begin\, and instructions to follow during the course as participants in the course. \n  \nWill I get a certificate for the course? \nParticipants who attend the full IDC will receive an officially signed digital certificate certifying that they have successfully completed the International Do Course (I.D.C.) in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Federation. \nThe IDC certificate that you will receive will be an officially ITF valid document. You will be able to use it to show that you have completed the IDC black belt promotion requirement if you are among those who are required to participate in at least one IDC to be eligible for promotion. \n  \nDo I have to attend all parts of the course? \nTo obtain your certificate\, you must attend all parts of the course on Day 1 and Day 2\, that is the full 12 hours. However\, if you miss one of the parts\, you will still be able to attend the other parts. \n  \nIf I have a question about the course\, who do I contact? \nIf you have a question that is not answered above\, you can contact docourse@itftkd.sport for more information.
