The International Instructor Course (IIC), held from 4th to 6th September 2026 in Bedford, England, welcomed Grandmasters, Masters, instructors and students from across the Taekwondo community.
Hosted by the England Taekwondo Association, the course was conducted by three highly respected members of the ITF Technical Committee: Grandmaster Hector Marano, (9th Degree), from Argentina, Chairperson of the ITF Technical Committee; Grandmaster Ung Kim Lan, (9th Degree), from Germany; and Grandmaster Jerzy Jedut, (9th Degree), from Poland.

Open to ITF members from 1st to 9th Degree, the three-day course provided participants with the opportunity to develop their technical knowledge, refine their skills and learn directly from some of the ITF’s most experienced Grandmasters.

We were honoured by the presence of five other Grand Masters, including Grand Master Ellis and Grand Master Denis.
The event brought together practitioners of different grades and levels of experience, creating an excellent opportunity for learning, development and sharing knowledge while strengthening connections within the international Taekwondo community.

Some of our instructors and students attended the course.

This marked a special first for our Class of 2025.




Everyone had the privilege of learning from the Guest of Honour and the Grand Masters. Sitting close by, they listened carefully and benefited greatly from their guidance and experience.


The final day’s ceremony concluded with group photographs and the presentation of certificates to all attendees.
