Seminar and High Dan Grading in the Czech Republic

On March 8, 2025, the city of Olomouc, Czech Republic, hosted a significant event for the global ITF Taekwon-Do community — an international sparring seminar led by Taekwon-Do legend Kateryna Solovey (VI Dan). The seminar brought together 140 athletes from 6 countries.

Throughout the day, three intensive training sessions were held, during which Kateryna was assisted by:
🔸 Daryna Korolovych — European Champion, two-time World Cup winner
🔸 Viktoriia Sokolovska (V Dan)

💬 The seminar was honored by a warm welcome from the President of the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF), Grand Master Paul Weiler (IX Dan), who also attended the event as a special guest.

On the same day, a Dan grading for IV–VI Dans took place, conducted by Master Oleh Petrovskyi (VIII Dan). Grand Master Paul Weiler was once again the guest of honor at the examination.
