Master Merritt recently attended the 53rd ITF Qualifying International Umpire Course (QIUC) held in Quebec City where umpires and officials from around the world gathered for a weekend of learning and collaboration.

"I was in Quebec getting the latest updates on the ITF rules. It’s always good to learn and grow as a coach. Thank you to the Hosts and Instructors." - Master Merritt

On behalf of Merritts Ultimate Taekwon-Do, our sincere thanks and appreciation go to instructors, Grand Master Benzaquén and Master Ottesen for their leadership as well as the CTFI Umpire Committee for hosting such a phenomenal event!

💐 Happy Mother’s Day from Merritts Ultimate Taekwon-Do! 🥋💛

Today we celebrate all the incredible moms, grandmas and mother figures who support, encourage and inspire our students every single day.
