In order to run a successful school Merritts Ultimate Taekwon-Do makes  learning a priority not only for our students but also for the instructors. I attend yearly IIC's (International Instructors Course) , IUC's (International Umpires Courses); all Provincials, Westerns and National Championships.  I go to these courses to provide our clients with the latest up to date techniques, procedures, and rules.  I am retired from International competition so more of my time can be given to my students so they can excel in class, at competitions and going to World Championships.
