Newsletter Newsletter 1/2008 30st' IIC in Israel

On Sunday 27/01/08, in the south part of the city of Tel Aviv Israel, came to conclusion the 30st' IIC. This course, the first ever held in the state of Israel, was conducted by the president of the ITF master Trân Triêu Quân, master Wim Bos and master Hector Marano. Most of the participants were the members of the Israel TKD Association and few students came from Norway, Wales and Poland, all of which were taken for a guided tour to the holy city of Jerusalem and had a lively and somewhat unorthodox banquet with the president and the masters. The grading, by the end of the course, produced two new 7th degree masters. Master Jedut and Master Loboda from Poland.

Master Tran arrived a couple of days early. He had a long guided visit in Yad Vashem, the holocaust museum and attended some important meetings, arranged by the directors of the association, resulting positive progress in establishing official recognition and a strong position for ITF in Israel and the Israel TKD Association as it's sole and exclusive representative.
