Using Taekwondo as a tool to help special needs students
with emphasis on Dyspraxia
A sad day in my life was, In February 2008, while during training I suffered a heart at tack. I was rushed to the hospital where a clogged artery was opened and a week later, I went into open heart surgery. I received four bypasses and some stents to keep other main arteries open. It took me several months to recover. Months I was not able to train and teach Taekwon-Do, this was a very dark period in my life. The good news was: I survived and the surgeon assured me this was because of my strong heart and body. Thank you, Taekwon-Do!
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.
La idea de este trabajo es reflexionar y poder pensar acerca ciertos procesos psíquicos individuales y grupales que se producen durante la transmisión de nuestro arte. No sólo lo veremos desde el punto de vista de la transmisión de nuestro arte marcial en base a sus principios y filosofía, de la metodología de enseñanza adecuada, sino también desde los efectos que produce la práctica del Taekwon-Do en cuanto a elevar la autoestima y qué relación tiene esto último con el manejo y control de la agresividad.

Why do some organisations grow and others decline? Why do some sports thrive while others remain marginalized? How do we ensure Taekwon-Do thrives in the modern world?
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.
