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.

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.
