A major restriction to the examination procedure is the need to drop your eyes to write and take note of the students performance. To help remedy this situation, I investigated the use of a web based application to digitise the grading and allow the Examiner to quickly make notes while also keeping their eyes turned to the students more often.

This resource comprise a thesis required for promotion to 4th Dan. The instructions for writing an essay or thesis for black belt promotion include that the writing should be of some use and interest to other Taekwon-Do practioners. Korean terminology is therefore the focus of this thesis. It is an area that needs strengthening in our Taeskwon-Do community.

My hypotheses is “Does the moral guidance which is the backbone of
Taekwon do fill the space left as a result of the decline in participation in Christian religions?”

Professional Taekwon‐Do instructors are self‐employed owners of small businesses. They do not have the benefits of specialists employed by corporations. This includes common employment benefits, such as pension schemes. The ITF cannot create the infrastructure to do these things for professional instructors – it would be far too’ inefficient for a small international entity to develop efficient global structures. Instead, the ITF should arm instructors with the information they need to act themselves, and measure their success based on the actions of those instructors. Therefore, the ITF should educate its instructors financially – in budgeting, debt management, wealth protection, accumulation and decumulation.
