What is your appreciation about the Technical Part (Taekwon-Do Training)?

• To be a better instructor you must train hard, and to always be active is the best way to obtain this.
• Excellent, I most profoundly liked the session of "Front to Front" (One Step Sparring) taught by Master Trajtenberg, and the last part, on movement, by Mr. Jedut from Poland.
• Excellent but the timeframe did not allow us to cover all of the development.
• Good, however, I hope that the next time we will work on the techniques of the degrees, nevertheless, we experienced new aspects of Taekwon-do technique.
• Excellent, unfortunately the time is very short.
• It would help to have more activities like this to help to understand more.
• Excellent presentations but not enough time to gain enough knowledge. I have good knowledge of patterns but not 3,2,1 step and pre-arranged sparring. Also need more knowledge on application of movements in patterns.
• Very good, very creative instructions that gave confidence. The teaching team are good leaders with practical experiences! We absorbed well planned work (activities)!
• Excellent, learned new motivational skills!
• It is very good and well prepared!
• I learned a lot in what is the job of a teacher, Instructors and how we can teach our students and help them. Thank you very much.
• I can say that I now have sufficient information of how to work for 1 or 2 years with the new material we received.
• Very good – Excellent. Everything was very interesting and professional. I learned much about everything and changes to implement in teaching.
• Use of the dobok is a discipline and the key is to be more!

What is your appreciation of the Business and Leadership part?

• My opinion is that there was much benefit and I consider that I have learned a lot for my school, and my national organization. Very good, excellent!
• It appeared to be suitable and in accordance with the reality of our countries, even though we lack in the practice of these things.
• I think that in some areas of the business needed more, however, in Leadership skills it was complete!
• We (countries delegates) must continue working on this part as we need more work in these areas.
• My life, starting from now, as an instructor and a businessman, is sure to be successful because the tools that we were given will help to create success if we put them into practice!
• Did not need information on bookkeeping and accounting. Good information of developing a national association and competitions. (i.e. Poland’s presentation).
• Very good, I took maximum advantage and am excited to become a good leader and build the best possible business with my team and learn more about accounting.
• Gave new ideas for structure or business plans.
• Very interesting for the future.
• I believe my expectations were covered and I want to encourage the ITF to continue with more of this type of seminars around the world.
• I like the way were explained all the opportunities and how to manage the future of our school. Now it’s our job to learn more and go deeply into the subject.
• It helped me to see that there is more there.
• Very Good. We were taught to see that Taekwon-Do is not only a hobby; it is a way of life and can help create a new organization. Excellent- this is our objective and that of the ITF!
