🥋 The next video in the CTFI Etiquette Series is here!

Taekwon-Do is about more than powerful techniques. It’s about the traditions, values, respect, and etiquette that define our art.

Our latest etiquette video is now available on the CTFI YouTube Channel, along with a supplemental PDF handout instructors can use to continue the conversation in the dojang.

📄 Share the handout with your students

We encourage every CTFI school and instructor to take part and help preserve the true culture and spirit of Taekwon-Do for future generations.

We spend countless hours training our bodies. But how often do we train our minds?

Mental skills aren’t something we only work on when there’s a problem. Just like physical, technical and tactical skills, they can be understood, practiced and developed.

During this interactive workshop, Urša Terdin will explore confidence, focus, performance anxiety and performing under pressure, with practical tools and self-reflection applicable to competition, belt testing, coaching and everyday practice.

🥋 Professional expertise in sport psychology
🥋 Firsthand experience in ITF Taekwon-Do & Kickboxing
