Accordingly, 2009 WTF World Cup Taekwondo Team Championships and 1st WTF World Para-Taekwondo Championships will be conducted under the new Competition Rules. We believe that five (5) months of a grace period would give ample time to the athletes and coaches to adapt themselves to new Competition Rules. However, the amended Competition Rules will not be applied to 2009 Universiade taekwondo competitions, which will take place in Belgrade, Serbia on July 1-6, 2009 as the rules for this event was already confirmed long before. Thank you for your kind attention to this matter. Sincerely yours, Jin Suk Yang Secretary General --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2009 23:44:49 -0700 (PDT) From: Jye nigma To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] Hapkido Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net http://woma.tv/movies/61/korean-hapkido.html --__--__-- Message: 3 From: Ray To: The_Dojang Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2009 06:37:31 -0700 Subject: [The_Dojang] Para-Taekwondo Championships Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net 1st WTF World Para-Taekwondo Championships - June 10, 2009 Baku Ref.No.09/198 March 4, 2009 To: Presidents, WTF Member National Association WTF Council Re: 1st WTF World Para-Taekwondo Championships – June 10, 2009 Baku Dear Colleagues, WTF Para-Taekwondo is an initiative to ensure that all athletes, regardless of physical or mental capacity or condition have access to Taekwondo training and coaching. Para-Taekwondo will ensure a path to higher competition levels and venues that were not previously available. The WTF will be holding the First WTF World Para-Taekwondo Championships on June 10th, 2009 in Baku, Azerbaijan and it will be sparring competitions for upper limb (arm) amputee athletes (colour and black belt). Please refer to the release from the WTF on the particulars of the competition. I am so pleased to announce that to make this a successful event and encourage participation, the WTF is waiving the entry fee, and Organizing Committee is providing full room and board for the athletes participating in this memorable championships. We wish to especially encourage those nations that are participating in 2009 WTF World Cup Taekwondo Championships to bring the athletes for the Para-Taekwondo Championships as well. I am witting to you to confirm that you have this information, and that you are considering sending athletes to the event. We also would like to be informed of the following: 1. Number of athletes and belt level you currently have who are amputees, 2. What the amputee classification is, (as per the WTF announcement) 3. Number of athletes you are sending. This is an exciting time and we are making history, not unlike the monumental achievement of having Taekwondo recognized by the IOC as an official medal event for the Olympic Games. Could you please provide the WTF with the requested information and status as soon as possible so that the WTF can move forward and the Baku Organizing Committee can make appropriate arrangements.
