The Road to Croatia Begins: A Productive ITF England National Team Selections

The journey to the 2025 ITF Taekwon-Do World Championships in Porec, Croatia (October 6th-12th) has officially begun! This past weekend, ITF England held its crucial National Team Selections, marking a significant first step on the "Road to Croatia" for our aspiring athletes.

The event saw dedicated Taekwon-Do practitioners gather to showcase their commitment and skills. It was a productive day as participants navigated through rigorous patterns, powerful special techniques, and dynamic sparring sessions. The selections provided a vital platform for our athletes to demonstrate their readiness and determination as we begin to shape the national squad that will proudly represent ITF England on the international stage.

This selection process is fundamental to building a cohesive and competitive team, and the efforts observed during the day underscore the passion within our federation.

We extend our sincere thanks to all the athletes for their hard work and to the umpires and volunteers who ensured the smooth running of this important event.

ITF England is proud to announce that @topten_martial_arts is the Official National Team Sponsor, with equipment proudly supplied by @bytomicmartialarts. Their support is invaluable as our team prepares for the pinnacle of international competition.

Relive the Action!
