The seminar provided an insight into the much anticipated WTF Para-Taekwondo Education Programme as well as some valuable tips and strategies for participants to use in their taekwondo schools and dojangs.

Participants from Australia, Portugal, Austria and Belgium came together to assist one another through discussion and brainstorming, guided by educator and presenter Lisa Standeven.

Standeven was keen to discuss her own experiences as a Para-taekwondo competitor in the session, which included winning four World Championship titles for Canada.

She has also spent 15 years working with individuals with various impairments.

The WTF will make their new education programme available online to coaches, instructors, athletes and officials interested in getting involved in the sport in the Spring of next year.

Para-taekwondo will debut on the Paralympic stage at Tokyo 2020.

More than 800 competitors from 100 countries competed at the World Junior Championships, which took place at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre in Burnaby, Canada.

According to organisers it was the second largest sports event ever held in Canada in terms of country participation, behind the 2001 World Athletics Championships in Edmonton.

South Korea and Iran finished top of the men's and women's overall standings respectively.

The Koreans secured seven men's medals in total in Canada, five of which were gold, while Iran claimed two gold medals and two bronzes in women's competition to finish first.

The WTF's General Assembly also took place in the Canadian city prior to the Junior Championships.
