Thank
you for visiting the home page for the ITF-USA, the official
governing body for the International Taekwon-Do Federation in the
United States. Our mission, as a non-profit and
democratically-structured organization, is to foster the teaching
and art of traditional Taekwon-Do in the United States, as handed
down by our founder General Choi, Hong Hi.
Taekwon-Do has undergone tremendous evolution since its inception at
the hands of General Choi in 1955 as he perfected the art while
leading the 29th Division of the Korean Army (also known
as The First Division). In 1962, I started training
under Master Nam-Tae-Hi, 7th dan and leader of the 1st group of
Taekwon-do Masters to Vietnam. I later became a direct student
of the General in 1967, and was fortunate enough to work with him to
expand the art into Vietnam, as well as the United States.

Dear ITF-USA Membership
We are pleased to announce a new
addition to the ITF-USA website, the Member Spotlight. This feature
of our website will feature members of the ITF-USA that embody the
spirit and tenets of Taekwon-Do in their daily lives, through their
achievements in both life and Taekwon-Do, and through their
contributions to the community. The selected Spotlight members may
be dan holders, color belts, even schools/groups of students that
exemplify those principles that we hold so dear and are building the
ITF-USA upon.
To facilitate our ability to
feature as many of these deserving martial artists as possible, we
would like to solicit your help in nominating individuals or groups
from your school or region that exhibit these characteristics. This
might be a student that has overcome a significant challenge or
obstacle; it may be a student or group of students that devoted
their time and abilities on behalf of others; it might be a student
who has dedicated themselves to Taekwon-Do and excelled in national
or international competition. All of these are examples of worthy
submissions.
