On-line International Do Course (IDC)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. Cost NZ$175.
It is for all Taekwon-Do practitioners who are at least 13-years old. Those from 8th to 3rd grade (i.e., from yellow belt to blue belt with red stripe) attend Day 1. Those from 2nd grade and above (i.e., from red belt and above) attend Day 1 and 2. The ITF “International Do Course” certificate of participation is issued only to those who complete the full course (i.e., Day 1 and Day 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.
This course is now a compulsory requirement for those grading for Master level, but you can complete the course at any time.
