International
Taekwondo Confederation, or in short the “ITC”, is founded amid the Covid-19
pandemic. Like a child born in hardship, ITC was conceived unexpectedly over
unanimous consensus among a few martial art comrades when I fell into a
nutshell in the previous organization. Together,
we envision an organization free of encumbrances and is able to soar to the sky
where the limit lies with its members.
While
a lot of martial arts organizations are suffering from the impact of lockdown
and social distancing, the concept of ITC evolved from “nothing” to a
conceivable reality, from Mission Impossible to Mission Possible, from Mark
Ruffalo to the Incredible Hulk. We are
more than thankful to those who stand by us in the founding of ITC, your
support, respect, and loyalty are the reason I am writing this preface for our Home tab.
Citing a phrase from the Mission Statement in our
Constitution, ITC is
founded “by Pioneer Grandmaster, grandmasters, senior masters, masters, and
devoted Taekwondo martial art practitioners to provide true knowledge and to
promote mastery of skills with passion and devotion while insuring proficiency
in teaching the value of morality through words and deeds”, this surely
includes the respect and loyalty you demonstrate not just to us, but to the
world of who we are and what is our value being martial artists.
International
Taekwondo Confederation intends to be a Martial Arts Solution Provider (MASP) platform
with special emphasis in teaching and practising the principles of the
Traditional Taekwondo passed down by the late founder of Taekwondo, General
Choi Hong Hi, to enrich the lives of its members and practitioners by learning
and teaching the original techniques as one is taught by his/her mentor and/or
instructor and/or senior and passes to his/her student and/or junior. Through the execution of original traditional
Taekwondo techniques, the teaching and learning of moral value as martial
artists, the knowledge and skill of business practices, the pursuit of martial
arts and academic credentials through recognition and accreditation of martial
training, to qualify and enable the transfer of credit from rank degree to
academic degree, the ITC seeks to design and develop a legendary organization
structured and constructed on the knowledge and experience of the co-founders from
combat and sport Taekwondo background who passionately strive in their lives as
the true Taekwondo martial artists to meet the challenge of the world today.
International Taekwondo Confederation is
multi-cultural, multi-racial, multi-lingual, and multi-national while gearing
towards building an unique and unmatched multi-disciplinary martial arts
solution platform built on the core of Taekwondo with a business model
beneficial to all its members via sharing of resources. It is an organization founded by the members
for its members under the leadership of some top notched martial arts, business,
& educational professionals with great minds sharing the same vision as
martial artists.
