ITF Taekwon-Do Union proudly announces the official integration of Grandmaster Scott Downey (IX Dan) and Master Cathy Downey (VIII Dan) into ITF Taekwon-Do Union Canada, accompanied by their devoted community of students. This strategic alliance represents a crucial step in strengthening the technical and institutional framework of the organization in the North American region, while remaining deeply rooted in the original teachings of General Choi Hong Hi.
With decades of unwavering dedication to authentic Taekwon-Do, Grandmaster Downey joins not only as a national pillar but also takes on the prestigious role of Chair of the Technical Committee for ITF Union Canada. His leadership will guide the development of national technical standards, support instructor education, and ensure the integrity of our martial arts practice.
Master Cathy Downey contributes her extensive experience and educational leadership, bringing added value to the organizational structure and playing a vital role in shaping the next generation of practitioners.
We warmly welcome both Masters to the ITF Union Family—an ever-growing, professional, and inclusive community firmly committed to the foundational values of traditional Taekwon-Do.
The future of Taekwon-Do in Canada is stronger, more united, and technically sound.
Taekwon.
