Taekwon-Do is the "art of Hand and Foot" originating from Korea and brought to the world by its creator and founder of the ITF (International Taekwon-Do Federation) General Choi Hong Hi. General Choi completed this art in 1955 and received worldwide recognition in a short period of time. The Philosophy of Taekwon-Do is to teach anyone, which is what General Choi aspired to do for the world. Now, Taekwon-Do is one of the most popular forms of martial arts and is practiced in every part of the world. Taekwon-Do is a "family art" which means that it can be learned by both Son and Father, Mother and Daughter. We strive to make Taekwon-Do the type of Martial Art that can be utilized by ever man, woman, and child, your or old.
The ITF (International Taekwon-Do Federation) is the original governing group for world Taekwon-Do. Taekwon-Do started with the ITF. Being affiliated with the ITF means having a school to train in any part of the world without the concern regarding proper terminolgy or specific patterns. This Unity is the essence of Taekwon-Do. When a student is part of the ITF, they become part of a worldwide family of Taekwon-Do practioners. Unlike most schools, this creates a feeling of family that is most important in the drive and determiniation of the student.
