All staff who do not currently hold their given Black Belt rank must be certified by the WTF prior to submitting an application to be an instructor in our Korea Dojang expansion plans. Since no Kukkiwon officers exist in the United States, all certifications will be done by Head Master Ken Aduddell, 6th Degree Black Belt Kukkiwon
