IAC – International Adapted Course
Dear Grand Masters, Masters, Instructors and Students,
On behalf of ITF Taekwon-Do Finland and Taekwon-Do Center we have the great pleasure to invite you to an International Adapted Course which will be held in Ylöjärvi, Finland from 28th to 29th of January 2023.
The course will be conducted by the Chairman of the ITF Inclusion Committee, Master Leonardo Oros Duek.
The Adapted Taekwon-Do program was developed by the Inclusion Committee with the aim of providing the most up-to-date tools that allow us to bring our art closer to all who wish to practise it.
The course teaches the identification of the different special needs, how to approach students with special needs, managing the relationship with parents, and how an inclusive teaching program is developed, among other topics.
The course is aimed at red and black belts who seek to expand their knowledge in the field of teaching and who wish to increase their volume of students in a practically virgin market.
All course participants will receive their OFFICIAL ITF CERTIFICATE.
It will undoubtedly be a special opportunity to receive a unique and complete training for the first time in Europe.
It will be a pleasure and honor for us to welcome you and share this exclusive event with you.
On behalf of the organizing committee,
Tanja Hammare
President
