Unity • Cooperation • Tradition
Our Mission
The mission of the International Taekwon-Do Federation Union (ITF Union) is to safeguard and promote the original teachings of General Choi Hong Hi, founder of Taekwon-Do, along with the philosophy that extends far beyond martial technique.
We teach Taekwon-Do as a complete discipline—one that develops physical ability while cultivating essential values such as respect, courtesy, self-discipline, integrity, and personal development.
The ITF Union works in harmony with organizations, instructors, and practitioners worldwide. Through seminars, workshops, championships, and international events, we create continuous opportunities for learning, cultural exchange, and personal growth within the global Taekwon-Do community.
Our Vision
Our vision is to build a united global community of Taekwon-Do practitioners—one that transcends affiliation, nationality, race, and creed.
The ITF Union seeks to become a worldwide reference for unity, collaboration, and technical excellence, connecting organizations and schools under a framework of mutual respect and shared purpose.
While recognizing the identity and autonomy of each group, we encourage cooperation and understanding, ensuring that Taekwon-Do continues to grow not only as a martial art but as a way of life grounded in respect, integrity, self-improvement, and perseverance.
Our Purpose
The core purpose of the ITF Union is to provide an inclusive and collaborative international platform where practitioners can learn, share, and grow together—technically, culturally, and philosophically.
We promote an environment built on openness, cooperation, and mutual respect, avoiding rigid structures and encouraging freedom of identity within a unified spirit.
Our commitment is to ensure that future generations receive Taekwon-Do in its authentic form, preserving the legacy and principles of General Choi Hong Hi while allowing the art to evolve responsibly and meaningfully.
By uniting practitioners worldwide, the ITF Union strives to be a positive force for personal development, community strength, and the global promotion of Taekwon-Do values.
