Thoughts about the ECTC (INCTL) or Taekwondo in general:

One of the most rewarding things about the ECTC is the great network of peers. If you take the time to befriend your opponents outside of the ring, the bonds of taekwondo really bring you together. In no other place can you find so many people who love to do the same thing you do.
