Richmond, BC – Richmond Martial Arts proudly hosted a two-day Taekwon-Do training event on August 16–17, 2025, uniting school owners and instructors from across British Columbia and Alberta for a weekend of training, learning, and collaboration.
Led by Senior Instructor Master Barker, the event featured an intensive schedule of technical training and a 1.5-hour business workshop lead by Master Ahmed designed to help school owners strengthen both their martial arts and business leadership skills.
Distinguished masters in attendance included:
· Master David White – President of ITFBC

The gathering served as an important step forward in uniting ITFBC instructors and working toward the standardization of techniques across the region.
