The fundamental purpose of this website is to inform UKTC members of important dates in Master Harkess's calendar regarding gradings, seminars, competitions and special events. It is also a means by which Master Harkess can communicate with all UKTC members regarding his aims, goals and aspirations for the future of the UKTC and ITF Taekwon-Do in general.

It should also be a focal-point for all to celebrate our successes at club level, as well as at national and international level. It is here that you - as highly important UKTC members -can play your vital part. If you have something you want to say, or pictures from your local gradings / events / competitions, etc, we would very much like to hear from you. Your contributions are vital to the success of this website.

Please send your comments / editorials and/or pictures to me at webmaster@masterharkess.com.

Unfortunately, our webhosting company was the victim of a serious hacking event a few weeks ago. Although this website was not affected, we were locked out for a couple of weeks and were unable to make any updates. This issue has now been resolved and, with superior security now in place, I have been able to get back to the business of updating this site. It did result is some Gradings not getting listed in time, and for this I extend my apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Webmaster.
