At the recent Inaugural Canadian International Instructors Course  in Oakville, ITF-TAO humbly asked First Grand Master Rhee Ki Ha to become our Grand Master and figurehead…..FGMR has accepted. First Grand Master Rhee Ki Ha also authorised ITF-TAO to use his famed “two direction kick” log and signature as our official logo. Just another step in the right direction for ITF-TAO in our efforts to continue the teaching of the Founder of Taekwon-Do Traditional, Authentic and Original.

For the 10th time in as many years, TAO Technical Director Mr. Mike Morningstar conducted a technical seminar for the students of Cabot Taekwon-Do in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Although normally hosted by Mr. Rick Winsor, due to his deployment to Afghanastan as part of the Canadian Military, the students of Cabot Taekwon-Do were left with the task. Fifty participants from yellow belt to 3rd degree black belt were put to the test with a very challenging warm up, fundamental movements, kicking drills and patterns. The last hour of the day was devoted to black belt patterns.
