This thesis is based on my work and experiences of developing ITF Taekwon-Do in Africa 2012-18. I will start with the background of this journey.In 2011 I was asked to visit an old friend in Uganda in the summer of 2012. As I had never been in Africa, I found the prospect of going there quite exciting. At this time I was in preparation for my grading to 6th degree, so it was a natural thought for me to continue to train during my time in Uganda.This thesis is based on my work and experiences of developing ITF Taekwon-Do in Africa 2012-18.

REFLECTIONS UPON THE TENETS OF TAEKWON-DO
By M Håkan Hansson, Sweden
General Choi Hong Hi founded Taekwon-Do including the Tenets, meant as a guide for all serious students of the art. These tenets have guided all of us through the decades, years and days and are very important for the way we train, teach, inter-act and live. The way to interpret and implement them is sometimes obvious but at other times a rather complex task. Furthermore, the way to interpret them can differ from each individual due to personality and/ or philosophy but also depending on what role a person has. I would like to compare the interpretation and view of these tenets based on input I have gathered from some different “stakeholders”:
TAEKWON-DO AND IMPACT ON THE HIPS By GM Frank Vanberghen, Belgium
As GrandMaster Pablo Traijtenberg quoted during the ITF Convention 2017 in Benidorm (Spain), there are many hip injuries amongst Taekwon-Do practitioners all over the world, so I decided to write a thesis about this phenomenon and the possible solutions after research.
FUNDING RETIREMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTORS By Mark Banicevich, New Zealand
Professional Taekwon‐Do instructors are self‐employed owners of small businesses. They do not have the benefits of specialists employed by corporations. This includes common employment benefits, such as pension schemes. The ITF cannot create the infrastructure to do these things for professional instructors – it would be far too’ inefficient for a small international entity to develop efficient global structures. Instead, the ITF should arm instructors with the information they need to act themselves, and measure their success based on the actions of those instructors. Therefore, the ITF should educate its instructors financially – in budgeting, debt management, wealth protection, accumulation and decumulation.
