Happy Birthday to Taekwon-Do Name!
On 11 April 1955, General Choi Hong Hi officially decided on the name of his newly created martial art and called it Taekwon-Do.
Today, we celebrate not only the birth of a name, but the beginning of a global movement that continues to inspire millions around the world.
Let us all honor the legacy of General Choi Hong Hi by giving our very best in training, teaching, and living according to the principles of Taekwon-Do every single day.
Together, we carry forward the vision of our Founder and strengthen the unity of the worldwide ITF Family.

A warm welcome to Master Luke Thompson from Tunbridge Wells Taekwon-Do, who is currently holidaying in Malaysia with his family 🇲🇾✨
It was an honour to have Master Luke visit our PJ dojang & conduct a training session for our members. His technical expertise & sharing of knowledge made the session enriching for everyone present.
Moments like these reflect the true spirit of Taekwon-Do — building friendships, exchanging knowledge & strengthening bonds across borders 🤝🥋
We wish Master Luke & his family a wonderful stay in Malaysia.
We look forward to another memorable session again soon💪

Our deepest condolences to the family. May his soul RIP🙏
The International Taekwon-Do Federation expresses its deepest condolences on the passing of Prof. Chang Ung (5 July 1938 – 29 March 2026), Honorary Life President of the ITF and former President from 2002 to 2015.
On hearing of his passing, ITF President Prof. GM RI Yong Son expressed his condolences, stating:
“Prof. Chang Ung assumed the presidency of the ITF at a moment of profound transition, following the passing of our Founder, General Choi Hong Hi, on 15 June 2002. Entrusted with this responsibility by the Founder himself, he carried forward the leadership of the Federation during a critical period, ensuring continuity, stability, and the preservation of the principles upon which ITF Taekwon-Do was built.
General Choi Hong Hi, in his final words regarding succession, expressed both his concern for the future and his confidence in Prof. Chang Ung. He spoke of a man who would stand tall for the Federation, who would carry forward its mission with strength and resolve, and whose presence would bring reassurance at a time of uncertainty. That trust, placed at such a defining moment in ITF history, remains a testament to the significance of Prof. Chang Ung’s role.”
May his legacy be remembered with respect.
