Congratulations ITF-USA!
Now the USA's largest ITF group
Thanks in part to a massive influx of new schools and instructors after the National Association (N.A.) announcement, the ITF-USA has now become the largest ITF organization in the United States. As the N.A. the ITF-USA is responsible for National events such as the National Championships and organizing the national team, and for arranging international courses and seminars.
We look forward to working with all of the new members, and we're excited to have so many enthusiastic instructors who are stepping up to be part of our growing organization.
Grand Master Van Binh
ITF-USA President
