The Canadian Elite Taekwon-Do Federation was founded with the intent to continue to strengthen and promote General Choi Hong Hi's orthodox Taekwon-Do and to honor and respect the art he founded. CETF continues this tradition through his son, Grand Master Choi Jung Hwa, and the original International Taekwon-Do Federation. As of August 2014, CETF is a "Federally" recognized Non-Profit Organization and has hosted as well as attended seminars, training events and demonstration events in order to educate members and the general public whilst strengthening the International Taekwon-Do Federation in Canada.

Today, we remember the man whose vision changed millions of lives around the world.

General Choi Hong Hi did not simply create a martial art; he created a path built on courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and an indomitable spirit.

More than two decades after his passing, his teachings continue to inspire generations of practitioners who carry his legacy in every pattern, every training session and every act of respect.

His dream became our way of life.

Honoured to have Master El Bey and Master Tyrakowski represent Canada at the ITF 60th Anniversary Technical Seminar in Korea; the birthplace of Taekwon-Do.

Sixty years of discipline, tradition, and global unity brought together practitioners from around the world. This experience went beyond training. It was a reminder of the responsibility we carry as ambassadors of this art.

From refining technique at the source, to standing in historically significant places like the Goseong DMZ and Tong-Il Observatory, every moment reinforced the vision of General Choi Hong Hi, not only to develop Taekwon-Do, but to use it as a force for unity.

One family. Many flags. One legacy.

Returning to Canada with renewed purpose: to share, to grow, and to continue upholding the highest standards of ITF Taekwon-Do.

감사합니다.

2025 Recap 🇨🇦🥋 | Canadian Elite Taekwon-Do

2025 was built on early mornings, hard rounds, and choosing discipline.

From elite training camps preparing for the ITF World Championship in Spain, to Master-led Taekwon-Do workshops, to competing at local and regional tournaments across Ontario — every moment mattered.

This year was about refining skills, sharpening technique, and developing a mindset that holds up under pressure.

It was also about nurturing friendships - the kind built through shared struggle, mutual respect, and pushing each other to be better on and off the mats.

More than medals or rankings, 2025 was about growth, connection, and representing Canadian Taekwon-Do with pride wherever we trained and competed.

We're grateful for the coaches, Masters, teammates, and community that made this year possible.

2025 built the base. 2026 raises the level.

Taekwon-Do isn’t just trained. It’s lived.

Taekwon!
