Dear Instructors,http://www.itfnz.org.nz/taekwon-dotalk/advertise.html
MESSAGE REGARDING OUR REGIONAL PRESIDENT:
I am pleased to inform you that Mr.Simon Mallinson from Te Awamutu has been voted on to the Midlands incorporated society as our new president.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Simon on his appointment and wish him the best of luck.
This now puts us in the position to call for club members who wish to support their region to step forward and become club representatives.
Midlands already has a few names and they will be contacted shortly, but if anyone else is keen then contact Mr.Cale on familycale@xtra.co.nz and he can inform you of what is required. If all goes well we shall soon have a committee up and running to support our region with all sorts of things.
So for all those that believe more could be done to promote Taekwon-do in the region now is the time to step up to the mark. Perhaps you are in the background thinking “WHY DON’T WE DO THIS, WHY DON’T WE DO THAT?” well now’s your chance.
Mr.Cale looks forward to hearing from you all soon.

What exactly is an International Instructors Course and who can go?
The ITF International Instructors Course is a two day seminar open to red belts and above. The name is a little deceiving, as it is not really a course just for instructors or about instructing. It is an amazing two days of everything to do with ITF Taekwon-Do, from patterns, fundamentals and sparring, to self defence and philosophy. Senior dans and split into separate groups for some of the seminar so they can learn their particular techniques.
The course is run by the ITF Technical Committee – three of the top Masters in the world today. They put across an informative, interesting and fun seminar that everyone enjoys. We only have an IIC held in New Zealand around every two years – so don’t miss this opportunity.
