Ponce, Puerto Rico.  Stay tuned for details.

Congratulations to Woodbridge Taekwon-Do

The ICTF would like to congratulate Kwan Jang Nim Cariati, VIII on the amazing accomplishment of celebrating 30 years with Woodbridge Taekwon-Do.  More than 30 years ago, KJN Cariati started teaching a few students in his basement.  This would lead to the establishment of Woodbridge Taekwon-Do and 30 years later it is one of the most successful Taekwon-Do schools in Ontario and Canada.  We hope for many more years of KJN Cariati's amazing dedications to his students.

President's Message

Dear ICTF Members,

I would like to thank everyone on behalf of the executive committee members for all your support and for your loyalty to the ICTF . I am proud to report that 2011 has been a very good year and our membership has increased by 50%. I look forward to see what 2012 will bring.

I personally had the opportunity to travel to many countries to do seminars and most important to meet with our members and share many great ideas which have added to our growth and success.  

I would like to add that the ICTF in Canada is presently the largest group in Taekwon-Do and to think when we started this federation we were a very small group.  At this time I would like to thank all the ICTF Canada members for all their help and contributions. I especially would like to extend special thanks to Master Stanley for always coming up with new ideas and strategies  to help our members. Your dedication is greatly appreciated by all.

I look forward to another successful and exciting year.

Kwan Jang Nim Cariati, VIII Dan
ICTF President

The ICTF would like to extend their thanks to the amazing organizing team from Woodbridge Taekwon-Do Group who hosted the World Cup, particularly Kwan Jang Nim Cariati, Master Winton Henry and Mrs. Esther Sucre for putting together this incredible event.  The ICTF would also like to thank all the volunteers who took the time to assist in the organizing of the event and helped during the tournament.  The tournament would not have been possible without all your assistance. 

We would also like to thank all the competitors for making this event a truly world class tournament.  For all the parents, who drive their sons and daughters to and from Taekwon-Do classes, we would also like to say a thank you.
