Greetings from the Philippines to our global ITF family!

We hope everyone is doing well as we all strive to promote, teach, and share the wonderful art of ITF Taekwon-Do.

As the summer ends here in the Philippines, we are thrilled to share a few milestones with you:

Our team successfully met with Grand Master Trevor Nicholls via Zoom, who led and conducted our very first ITF-sanctioned grading. We are immensely thankful for his guidance. Throughout the exam, his warmth and kindness shone through. He taught us valuable technical knowledge and shared inspiring stories of his own journey in the martial arts.
 

We would also like to extend our deepest gratitude to:

  • Mr. Liboro of the UKTF, for believing in us and introducing the concept of online grading. Without his vision, this milestone would not have been possible.

  • Ms. Marie Marquez of the Winning Center, for her continuous support in propagating ITF Taekwon-Do in Bulacan. She is an exceptional mentor who never tires of guiding us.

 

We also just successfully concluded our Summer Colored Belt Grading. As new gems arise, our community celebrates! We extend our heartfelt thanks to the parents who never fail to support their children.

"Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much." – Helen Keller. It takes a village to raise a martial artist, and we are blessed with the best one.

 

Taekwon-Do is an amazing martial art. We learn so much more than just physical techniques; we learn to face life’s challenges head-on, maintaining composure and temperance when pressure hits. We learn that this art is not a tool for selfish desires, but a moral compass that helps us appreciate the unique differences in everyone we meet.

Thank you all for being part of our journey!

Taek-won!
