The 146th IIC was held in Espoo, Finland on the 16th and 17th November 2019. The event was organised as a part of the 30th anniversary celebration of the organising club, Espoo Taekwon-Do club.

To celebrate the anniversary and the IIC, the event was organised in a legendary location, Otahalli sports center. It was built for the 1952 Helsinki Olympics and was designed by Alvar Aalto, a famous Finnish architect. A total of 144 people from 12 different countries got to enjoy the great facilities and the smoothly organised event.

The event started as usual, with grand applause while the technical committee, Grand Masters Hector Marano 9th degree and Kim Ung Lan 9th degree and Master Jerzy Jedut 8th degree, entered the training hall. After the Student’s Oath the memory of general Choi Hong Hi was respected by holding heaven hands towards his photo, and the IIC was ready to begin.

Grand Master Kim Ung Lan started the whole event with a quick traditional warm up. After that Grand Master Hector Marano took charge with patterns. One pattern at a time, starting from Chon-Ji, two to three people at once performed patterns while others watched, listened and learned. There were many questions about the details in the patterns which got answered by the technical committee.

During the first day all of the colour belt and first degree patterns were done. In addition to the patterns, Master Jedut held a session with different sparring drills and movement exercises. Four hours worth of content was covered in one hour while the Master gave people just a taste of different drills. In the first day there was also a lesson about step sparring held by Grand Master Lan.

For the beginning of the second day Master Jedut held a self-defense session, where different techniques were adapted in many situations. After that Grand Master Lan taught patterns until Moon-Moo was done, and Grand Master Marano took charge.

After 24 patterns, a bit of sparring, step sparring and self-defence the IIC was nearly done. When it was time to conclude the event, Master Jedut had still something up his sleeves. Attendees got the last bits of the 146th IIC: high jumps with simultaneous punches.

Espoo Taekwon-Do club showed their high-level event organisation skills with Sabum Teppo Häyrynen and Sabum Veera Häyrynen leading the organisation team successfully. Everything worked out very well.

After twelve hours of training the event ended as it started: with a big applause and wide smiles.

The Grand Masters also held an examination during the IIC and granted the following degrees:
Master Patrick O'Rourke 8. Dan
Master Ken Leahy 7. Dan
Master René Walter 7. Dan
Master Johann de Silva 7. Dan
Master Niall Jones 7. Dan
Sabum Lasse Kuusisto 6. Dan
Sabum Janne Ahonen 6. Dan
