Recently, the first trainees in the Czech Republic were awarded with 5 Degree,
which is, presenty, the highest

Argentina,2003 Greece, 2005 Australia); Radka Dlouhá

Malaya; Jan Mracek, Michal Košátko - 2005 World Champions in
matsogi, Australia; Jirí Hovorka - our first
Junior World Champion in matsogi, 1995 Poland. Taekwon-Do ITF belongs along
with other very successful
sports in the Czech Republic and there has been dedicated special care toward
future representatives and
gifted trainees. Due to its success, Czech Taekwon-Do ITF has entered the
top of the world's best in
Taekwon-Do and has gained the respect of the entire world (during the latest
European Championship in Italy,
the Czech Republic was awarded with 9 gold medals and achieved the silver
position in Europe). A
considerable degree of respect and admiration is deserved by the master Hwang
Ho Yong, who is well
recognized and well belongs among the best Taekwon-Do ITF trainers in the
