Hosted by Mr Dalibor Medic VI of the Austrian Taekwon-Do Federation, the Instructor's Course took place at ITF Headquarters on Friday 22nd and involved instruction on the qualities of a good instructor and correct ITF protocol with over 40 instructors, Masters and Grandmasters in attendance.

Over the two days Grandmaster Hwang taught fundamental movements, all ITF patterns from Chon Ji through to Tong Il, and Taekwon-Do system of sparring. Both Miss Natalie and Miss Danielle were privileged to be invited to demonstrate for Grandmaster Hwang with Miss Natalie performing a technical Yoo Sin (3rd degree pattern) and Miss Danielle Yong Gae (4th degree pattern).
At the end of the course Miss Natalie presented for testing in front of Grandmaster Hwang and British Taekwon-Do Federation President Grandmaster Wayne Brown alongside candidates from the Netherlands and Cyprus.
