On the weekend of 18–19 April 2026, in Radovljica, Slovenia, Master Michael Flaherty VIII Dan conducted the 11th Taekwon-Do Chocolate Seminar 2026 in Radovljica, Slovenia.The event gathered over 80 participants from Slovenia, Italy, Austria, and the Czech Republic.

Throughout the two-day seminar, Master Flaherty shared a wealth of knowledge and experience, focusing on both sparring and tul techniques. The first day was dedicated to lower and coloured belts, with emphasis on fundamental sparring techniques, movement, and lower patterns. On Sunday, training was aimed at higher colour belts and black belts, focusing on advanced patterns and detailed work on individual elements within them.

We would also like to express our sincere thanks to Master Massimo D’Eredità VII DAN for his valuable assistance in conducting the seminar.

The seminar provided strong motivation and inspiration for continued training and development in Taekwon-Do.

On Sunday afternoon, a promotion test was held. We are proud to report that the following candidates successfully passed their examinations:

  • Robert Guštin – IV Dan
