Australian Kukkiwon Office

Kukkiwon (KKW) has been working to standardise its technical standards globally, introducing Master Instructor and Examiners courses to support this alignment. Starting 1st January 2025, Instructors will be required to hold a KKW Examiners qualification to apply for KKW certification. To strengthen its global network, KKW is establishing national offices, including the Australian KKW Office within Australian Taekwondo (AT). After 18 months of collaboration, this process is nearing completion, and the Australian KKW Office will soon be finalised. This office will ensure the smooth and equitable implementation of new grading and certification requirements for Australian instructors.
