......
as one of the founding members of the original federation, and
the only remaining founding member, I have a great feeling of
optimism ......
I have a dream that one day the ITF will unite
and bring all men together.
I have a dream that one day I will teach in each country without
regard to affiliation.
The ITF is not and never has been a North Korean
martial arts organisation. Taekwon-Do was born in South Korea,
the ITF was formed in South Korea but for General Choi and myself
there is no North and South, there is only one country. The same
is true with Taekwon-Do. There should be one organisation, one
governing body for the development and teaching of our martial
art.
