The International ASAS Taekwon-Do Federation is a non-profit organization registered with the Department of State of the United States Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Our mission is to support Chang-Hun Taekwon-Do instructors around the world. We are dedicated to the development of Taekwon-Do and the wellbeing of our society. Taekwon-Do has the potential to be a life-changing experience for many practitioners, and we aim to be part of that transformative journey. We do not seek to control Taekwon-Do schools or instructors; instead, we want to help them grow by supporting their success as professionals.
