The World Traditional Taekwondo Union (WTTU) was founded by Eternal Grand Master H.U.
Lee in the fall of 1990. The WTTU is a branch of the Songahm Taekwondo family that also consists of the American Taekwondo Association (ATA) and the Songahm
Taekwondo Federation (STF). The ATA encompasses member schools in the United States and the STF includes member schools in South America. The WTTU covers the remaining portion of the world.The continuing vision for this organization is to unite martial artists worldwide in an organization that emphasizes "Traditional Values," while utilizing the most advanced concepts and philosophies in the classroom and in business. The WTTU allows the instructor to focus more clearly in all four areas of the martial arts business with proven programs in marketing, sales, instruction, and business management.
At this time, the WTTU has licensed schools in Canada, England, Portugal, Germany, South Africa, Guam, Japan, Sweden, and South Korea. Growth in the WTTU has been consistent and rapid since its inception.
Our current Grand Master, Soon Ho Lee, knows that school and club owners from all over the world are looking for communication, support, and education. There are several methods that Grand Master Lee uses to provide these services.
-
• Members of the ATA/WTTU/STF staff travel extensively around the globe
to provide training in all areas.
• Each year, Grand Master Lee hosts the Songahm Taekwondo World Championships. This week-long event provides training in Songahm Taekwondo, instructional methods, and business practices.
• ATA World, the official WTTU magazine. This gives the WTTU an excellent vehicle to communicate, exchange ideas, and to announce new programs, services, seminars, and events, as the magazine has done for ATA/STF members for more than 12 years.
• This website is another method that Grand Master Lee uses to keep in consistent contact with current WTTU members as well as encouraging communication with prospective members.
