BTF – BE THE FUTURE
We are a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to spreading the art of ITF Taekwon-Do (as taught by the founder, General Choi Hong Hi ) through the professional development and empowerment of our instructors.
The British Taekwon-Do Federation (BTF) is registered with the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) and is very active both nationally and internationally in representing its members.
BTF is one of the fastest growing association within the British Taekwon-Do Council with venues across England, Wales and Scotland. It is a modern, forward-thinking group providing help, support, seminars, grading examiners and networking opportunities for like-minded instructors.
The BTF encourage collective efforts, despite the independent nature of each school, firmly believing that working together strengthens the organisation and encourages exceptional growth across the board.
BTF has a wealth of experience with ITF Grand Masters, Masters, international competitors and large school professional instructors. We have a global presence and an established reputation, the perfect fit for those keen to maximise independent success for themselves and their students.
BTF provides an umbrella of protection and legitimacy for instructors which is usually associated with the more traditional associations – a true Federation supporting the instructor within a collective effort, avoiding the Head Office interference and directives.
If you are an ITF or ITF-style instructor who would like the benefits of full ITF recognition, BTC membership and access to National and International tournaments, courses and seminars – as well as ITF ratification of your current grade, while at the same time retaining your independence and identity, and would like to know more, please email info@btftkd.co.uk
