The UKTF was founded in May 1987 and was originally compiled of 11 senior instructors who had been members of the ITF since the early 70's. These instructors wished to follow the philosophy and technique of General Choi Hong Hi and the ITF whilst encouraging and supporting instructors to participate at every level of Tae Kwon-Do, nationally and international without restriction.

Today the UKTF continues to follow and encourage this same policy.

We pride ourselves in being a progressive organisation offering a quality support system to our instructors and customer care for our members.

Our goal is to be the best we can be.

The UKTF gives encouragement to all instructors who wish to open full time gyms "dedicating their whole life to Tae Kwon-Do" and in turn offering the very best to our members . First and foremost we cater for quality and not quantity.
