ITF Union and the University of Flores advance together towards an open, inclusive and transformative academic project for Taekwon-Do instructors worldwide.
Today, an important working meeting took place between representatives of ITF Union and the University of Flores (UFLO), with the objective of continuing to advance new academic training opportunities for the international Taekwon-Do community.
Meeting Participants
Representing the University of Flores: Marcelo Salas, Claudia Carolina Mariani and Beatriz Baroni.
Representing the Taekwon-Do community: GM Fabián Pini (ITF Union), Lic. Leonardo Oros Duek (Organizational Consultant, ITF Union) and Carlos Martín.
An Open and Inclusive Project
The goal is to build an open and inclusive project that brings a quality academic proposal to ITF Taekwon-Do instructors and practitioners, regardless of the federation or organization they belong to. The project also contemplates the possibility of continuing studies towards a full university degree.
This is a truly global initiative: any ITF Taekwon-Do instructor or practitioner, regardless of their organizational affiliation, will be able to access quality academic training that recognizes and enhances their martial arts background and experience.
“We believe that the future of Taekwon-Do is also built by creating bridges between martial experience, education and academic knowledge. It doesn’t matter which organization you represent. Education can unite us.”
Education Without Borders
ITF Union continues working to open new doors and create opportunities that contribute to the professional growth of Taekwon-Do instructors worldwide. This alliance with the University of Flores represents a concrete and significant step in that direction — a real commitment to the professionalization of the martial art beyond physical practice.
We keep working to build bridges between Taekwon-Do, education and the academic world. More news coming soon.
