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.
