We are planning to host an International Do Course (IDC) in New Zealand on the 2nd and 3rd of February 2019. We have a quick survey to gauge interest in holding this event.
During his life, General Choi was so busy circling the globe to spread Taekwon-Do and conduct technical seminars that he did not have time to train anyone in carrying on his legacy of moral culture. Toward the end of his life, however, he took some of his valuable time to share with us the knowledge and wisdom that he had acquired over the years. It was his earnest desire that future generations would incorporate the teaching of the “Do” into the teaching of Taekwon-Do.
The International Do Course (IDC) is designed to meet the needs of all Taekwon-Do practitioners. Experience the Tenets of Taekwon-Do and learn how to apply them in your daily life. If you are an experienced practitioner, learn how to use a variety of exercises to teach the Do and how to integrate this material into your regular classes.
Studying the Do is an essential component of learning Taekwon-Do. Without studying and promoting moral values, Taekwon-Do is merely a sport of combat, not a true martial art. Taekwon-Do should never be taught without teaching the way of life (i.e., the Do), which is the true nature and spirit of the martial arts.
This course is a two-day course. It is for all Taekwon-Do practitioners who are at least 13-years old. Those from 8th to 3rd gup (i.e., from yellow belt to red stripe) attend Day 1. Those from 2nd gup and above (i.e., from red belt and above) attend Day 1 and 2.
On Day 1, participants experience the Tenets of Taekwon-Do and learn how to apply them in their daily lives. On Day 2, they learn and practice a variety of exercises to further understand and apply the Do.
In addition, experienced practitioners learn how to use the exercises to teach the Do and how to integrate this material into their regular classes.
It is a practical course, conducted in dobok with plenty of physical activity.
We are lucky that we have one of the International Do Course facilitators in New Zealand next year, as special guest instructor at our National Camp. That is Master Joliette Tran. This means we can offer the course at a reducsed rate of around: $170 for two days.
