ITF Radix at the 2026 ITF Elite Stage, The Art Within the Art
By Roy Rolstad
I’m thrilled to announce that ITF Radix will once again be presented at the ITF Elite Stage 2026, one of the most inspiring gatherings in the global Taekwon-Do community.
This event brings together some of the most dedicated martial artists on the planet. United by passion, purpose, and a deep respect for the art we share.
For me, it’s a special honor to stand on the same floor as my own Grand Master Per Andresen, who continues to represent Norway and the legacy of General Choi with clarity, integrity, and heart. His example has guided generations of practitioners, and his presence at the Elite Stage makes this event even more meaningful.
ITF Radix represents the art within the art, a way of uncovering the logic, rhythm, and intent behind every motion. It’s about going beyond memorization, into movement exploration.
At the Elite Stage, I’ll present how we connect pattern, principle, and practice, and how Taekwon-Do can be lived as a complete martial art, from Chon-Ji to combat, from form to freedom.
The ITF Elite Stage, under the direction of Grand Master Wim Bos, continues to be a landmark event for those who seek excellence in both skill and spirit. I’m proud to contribute again, and to share the mats with so many inspiring instructors and friends from across the world.
Let’s meet in Spain, to train, exchange, and grow together.
