Who is the Adapted Course For?
Taekwon-Do is more than just a martial art—it is a tool for comprehension, acceptance, integration, and social development. As General Choi Hong Hi stated, “Taekwon-Do is for everyone.”
This inclusive philosophy reminds us that Taekwon-Do sees no barriers. While we are all equal in the eyes of Taekwon-Do, we are also uniquely different. Our individuality—whether physical, emotional, or cognitive—shapes how we learn and grow.
The 1st AETF Adapted Course is designed to equip ITF instructors with the skills and knowledge to embrace this diversity, empowering them to integrate individuals with physical, cognitive, genetic, or acquired disabilities into their classes. It provides practical guidance and answers to questions such as:
• How can I adapt my teaching for students with specific needs?
• What resources will I need?
• What does an inclusive Taekwon-Do class look like?
This course offers a flexible and science-based approach, presented in a clear, accessible format. It is a guide—not a rigid manual—created to inspire instructors to tailor their methods and create an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
Join us in fostering a more inclusive and peaceful world through Taekwon-Do. Because Taekwon-Do truly is for everyone.
