Pro-Taekwon-Do should go on
Dear Colleagues and friends,
Almost every week I receive e-mails with question: "When and where are new Pro-Taekwon-Do tournaments".
The experimental stage of Pro-Taekwon-Do is finished and we need to start with official system of competition. In order for this to happen ITF, as our mother organization, should accept decisions which will be base for world Pro-Taekwon-Do system on its Congress in October 2009. in St. Petersburg.
At this point I am communicating with bigger number of potential promoters who could organize Pro-TKD tournaments and I am using this opportunity to invite all potential promoters who wish to join into Pro-TKD to contact me.
My suggestions on the Congress will be following:
- Rules which were used on World Final One in Zagreb, December 2008. with few minor modifications (fall on the floor is not a warning etc.) will be used
- two weight categories -80kg and +80kg
- participation is allowed for all black belts, not only for ITF members
- all capable sport managers can be promoters in or outside of ITF
In both weight categories is established:
Continental finals
World finals
On continental and world finals 8 best fighters compete, who must win their status of finalist on elimination tournaments. Every elimination tournament also has 8 fighters, so each continent must have minimum of 4 elimination tournaments in each category. 1st and 2nd fighter on elimination tournaments participate on continental finals.
Depending on strength of continent, continental finals give 1-2 fighters to world finals.
