2026 Evolutionary ITF Australia
Umpire Seminar
21st/22nd March 2026
In preparation for the
Nationals to be held later this year.
The 2026 EITF National Championships will be held in Hobart, Tasmania at a date to be decided.
Unfortunately, at this point the support from mainland ITF practitioners was insufficient to genuinely warrant holding the March 22nd event . A significant effort will be put into generating more support for a National Championships later in 2026.
Instead of the March 22nd championship, the Umpire course planned for Saturday 21st has been expanded to train students in the rules of competition of Evolutionary ITF Taekwon-Do over the entire weekend to ensure there are quality umpires to officiate at any future event and thereby provide an impartial and safe competition.
The course was presented by Master Steven Weston, who has officiated at several World Championships, oversaw the Open ITF HQ World Championships and World Cup in the Netherlands in 2017 as Chair of ITF HQ Korea and has been the Chair of a number of ITF National organisations and has organised both National and Oceanic championships.
The course was held from 1pm-5pm on Saturday 21st March 2026 and 9am-4pm on Sunday 22nd March 2026 at the Southern ITF Taekwon-Do Dojang at the New Town Sports Precinct on New Town Rd. New Town, Hobart
