Welcome  To I.T.M.A.™

WELCOME AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THE INTERNATIONAL TANG SOO DO MOO DUK KWAN ASSOCIATION™.

THE I.T.M.A. IS A TRADITIONAL TANG SOO DO ASSOCIATION DESIGNED TO KEEP THE TRADITIONS OF OUR HISTORICAL ART ACTIVE, HEALTHY AND ALIVE.

THE I.T.M.A. WAS FOUNDED BY GRAND MASTER ROBERT KOVALESKI IN SEPTEMBER OF 1994. DUE TO KWAN JANG NIM KOVALESKI’S EXTENSIVE HISTORY IN TANG SOO DO MOO DUK KWAN, WHICH DATES BACK TO THE EARLY 60’S. HE HAS SEEN MANY OF THE DIFFERENT CHANGES IN OUR ART. SOME OF THESE CHANGES HAVE BEEN GREAT AND SOME NOT SO GREAT DUE TO THE DIFFERENT POLITICS  AND FAVORTISM IN THE ART. KWAN JANG NIM HAS SEEN MANY GREAT TANG SOO DO MASTERS AND STUDENTS COME AND GO FOR THIS VERY SAME REASON.

THE I.T.M.A. PRIDES ITSELF ON BEING AN ASSOCIATION WITH ABSOLUTLY NO POLITICS OR FAVORTISM. THIS ASSOCIATION WAS BUILT ON LOYALTY, INTEGRITY AND A STONG SENCE OF BROTHERHOOD. THIS NOT ONLY GOES FOR THE STUDENT TO TEACHER BUT FROM TEACHER TO STUDENT.

OUR MISSION AS A BROTHERHOOD IS TO HELP OUR STUDENTS TO LEARN AND LIVE BY THE VALUES AND TENETS OF TANG SOO DO MOO DUK KWAN. WE ALSO STRIVE TO STRENGTHEN OUR MINDS, BODIES AND SPIRIT THROUGH OUR DEDICATED PRACTICE.

TANG SOO DO IS OUR WAY OF LIFE AND A LIFELONG JOURNEY, AND IT BEGINS WITH THE FIRST STEP. WE WELCOME YOU OUR FAMILY AND OUR WAY OF LIFE. WE WISH TO MAKE THIS BENEFICIAL JOURNEY TOGETHER AND GROW TOGETHER IN OUR ART…..TANG SOO!!

RESPECTFULLY,




 MASTER ERIC KOVALESKI
