International Tang Soo Do Federation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The International Tang Soo Do Federation (ITF) was founded in 1984 by Choong Jae Nim Master Chun Sik Kim, practitioner of the Tang Soo Do martial art.

The Federation has set guidelines to maximize the benefits of the art for all students. These guidelines include the technical aspects of Tang Soo Do, and the methods of instruction for every Kyo Sa (instructor) world-wide. This consistency allows students the option of training at any Tang Soo Do dochang (dojo in Japanese) while visiting other areas. This also ensures that Tang Soo Do will continue to be taught in its original form.

The Federation hosts the yearly National All Martial Arts Championship event in Pittsburgh, PA, and also hosts the International Tang Soo Do World Championship, held globally.
