The International Taekwon-Do Academy
The Name: International Taekwon-Do Academy,
was named in honor to the Dojan where I trained since first Dan and the
one that influenced my black belt training the most under the tutelage
of Master Kwang Duk Chung in New Rochele. I trained under Master
Chung from first to 4th Dans. By the late 1980's he had traveled
back to Argentina and had closed his school. On the summer of 1992
I resigned from being a member of IITO (international institute of
Taekwon-Do Oh do kwan ) and after a summer of practicing on the park on
215th St Inwood, NY, with a few students, I took the challenge of
opening my first TKD studio.
Our Mission: ITA's mission is to give everyone an
opportunity to allow the influence of TKD in their lives. TKD helped me
and was able to change my life in the right direction. Helped me
overcome obstacles and become a leader where ever I went. Most
important, TKD shaped my life. As I matured into my black belt I
realized that becoming a black belt was just the surface of learning TKD.
The path that one takes as we continue the training thru the different
levels within black belts, are the ones that really show you the true
spirit of the martial art. In essence, the purpose of ITA, is to let
people learn about TKD and all the benefits it brings if you become a
practitioner. But why offer someone just the surface, so we are a
school affiliated to the ITF, able and capable of teaching TKD to
beginners and advanced students as well. Our members can travel
all over the world and will always find the doors open, doors that
resemble my years of traveling, training, and supporting the ITF.
Affiliations: ITA is affiliated to the ITF-USA
(International Taekwon-Do federation-USA) national governing body of ITF
in the US. Member of the ITF in good standing.
