Dear Grand Masters, Masters, and Instructors:
It is an honor to invite you to participate in the First ITF Adapted Taekwon-Do World Cup, an event that will mark a milestone in the history of the ITF. This historic competition will take place within the framework of the “9th Mar del Plata Taekwon-Do World Cup 2024,” which will be held at the Islas Malvinas Sports Stadium, Mar del Plata, Argentina, from October 28 to November 3, 2024.
For the first time in ITF history, a competition will be held exclusively for athletes with disabilities, whether physical, motor, sensory, or intellectual. This edition will feature the Individual Patterns category, ranging from 4th Kup to 4th Dan. The age divisions will include Pre-Junior, Junior, Adult, and Advanced Senior.
The age divisions will be as follows:
Pre-Junior: born between 2009 and 2011
Junior: born between 2006 and 2008
Adult: born between 1988 and 2005
Senior: born in 1987 or earlier
After registration, the categories will be divided according to belt level and different degrees of disability. In case there are fewer than 4 competitors in a category, they may be merged.
The evaluation of each competitor’s degree of disability will be carried out by the ITF Inclusion Committee, under the leadership of Sbn. Anabel Vicario, along with her specialized team. All participants must undergo the evaluation committee’s review, presenting their medical certificate of fitness for competition, clearly stating the type and degree of disability. Additionally, the Unique Disability Certificate (CUD) must be presented. The final admission and classification of each competitor will be determined by the ITF Inclusion Committee, and this decision will be final and irrevocable.
