ITF-TAO Canada was the host country for our 2025 Annual Technical Conference on January 25-26. As usual Mr. Windsor and his organising committee did a fantastic job hosting. A promotion test was also held after Saturdays training and was presided over by the TAO Promotion Committee. Keeping true to the teachings of the founder of Taekwon-Do, General Choi Hong Hi, the students and instructors were drilled on correct sine wave and the proper application of techniques. By the end of the 9 hour training everyone was exhausted but motivated in their efforts to keep Chang Hun Taekwon-Do alive in its purist form. Thank you to ITF-TAO Canada for hosting this year. We all look forward to the 2026 Technical Conference and AGM in San Miguel, Argentina.
