'Welcome from the ITFA Founder, Chief Instructor & Examiner, Master Andrew K H Rhee, VII Dan' 

We are the International Taekwon-Do Federation of Australasia... the fastest growing Taekwon-Do Organization in Australia.

The ITFA was founded on 9th July 2010 by Master Andrew Rhee, with the first Sydney Taekwon-Do class at Waverley College of Arts, in the heart of Eastern Suburbs.  Since that time,  the ITFA has opened both children and adult Taekwon-Do classes in Redfern Town Hall, Bondi Scout Hall, Randwick Public School and Ultimo Public School with more venues in the planning stage.  Based in Sydney, the ITFA aims to promote and build this most modern and dynamic martial art of Taekwon-Do throughout Australasia under the guidance of its Founder, Master Rhee, the ONLY Master to continue to practice the Art and receive regular tuition from his Instructor, First Grand Master Rhee Ki Ha, a pioneer Master, the Father of British Taekwon-Do and the Founder of the UKTA, RITA & AETF.

Taekwon-Do is the Korean Martial Art of Hand and Foot.  It was founded on April 11th 1955 in Korea by Choi Hong Hi, a 2-star General in the South Korean Army, for un-armed combat against the enemy.  Due to its unprecedented popularity and effectiveness, Taekwon-Do quickly spread throughout the local community and soon after, the entire world!

Taekwon-Do is, arguably, the most dynamic and academic martial art in the world, with a genuine ranking system, code of ethics, conduct, cultural discipline and promotion of health, well-being and personal safety, it is also the most popular of all martial arts.
