ITF application of affiliation to Sportaccord at Sportaccord HQs in Lausanne

As planned, the ITF Delegation headed by President Prof. & Dr. Chang Ung paid a visit to the Sport Accord Headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, and held productive talks with Dr. Hein Verbruggen, the Sport Accord President.
The ITF delegation was composed of President Prof. & Dr. Chang Ung, Vice President Prof. Dr. Dato, GM Leong Wai Meng, Executive Director General Master Ri Yong Son, Treasurer Mr Kim Chol Gyu, EITF President Senior Master Anto Nobilo, ITF EB Member Master Augustus Mitchell, and Senior Master Michael Prewett, ITF Spokesperson.
As 23rd June was the Olympic Day, Sports leaders were working to a very tight schedule due to the organization of the colourful events concerning the Olympics, it was therefore very pleasing to the delegation members that the Sport Accord President, Dr. Hein Verbruggen was waiting to greet us personally in his office and offered a warm welcome to us upon our arrival.
The discussions took place in a friendly atmosphere over a period of 1 hour 40 minutes, during which time a lot of views and perspectives in terms of the Taekwon-Do and Martial-Art activities were exchanged.
Dr. Hein Verbruggen explained in detail the function of Sport Accord and assured the delegation that he would be pleased to support the ITF Taekwon-Do in the future.
Following the ITF President’s introduction of the delegation members to Dr. Hein Verbruggen, every member spoke to him of the Taekwon-Do history and the ITF activities all over the world which he found enlightening.
Finally, the delegation handed the documentary files over to the Sport Accord Secretary, Ms Ricarda Ettlin, who is in charge of this project. She was also presented with a complete set of Taekwon-Do encyclopedias.
On behalf of the International Taekwon-Do Federation and its President, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Dr. Hein Verbruggen, the Sport Accord President, for his kindness and hospitality toward the ITF Delegation.
In conclusion, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to all of our members for their great support to this important issue.

BUT - LET ME JUST FINISH THIS BEAUTIFUL STORY FOR KIDS.

WHAT WILL OTHER 2 ITF ORGANISATION DO? JUST BE PATIENT AND OBSERVE THIS CORUPTIVE - ONE FAMILY WORLD OF SPORT.

SECOND ONE:
http://www.itf-administration.com/ - THIS ONE HAD SERIOUS TALKS WITH MILITARY SPORT - CISM
(There has been vast amounts or propaganda spread by other organisation claiming unification talks with WTF and the CISM, while we have continued to silently work for our members and press forward. We were the first to host ITF Championships in South Korea, the first WIareOne joint ITF and WTF event and now the official announcement of the ITF inclusion to the International Military Sports Council - CISM. ITF has returned home to Korea and the Military...)
The participants of the conference shared a consensus on the need for the unification of ITF and WTF, the two split Taekwondo bodies. They also agreed that the admission of 128 pro-ITF member countries to CISM Taekwondo Committee, which currently recognises 131 pro-WTF countries only, would lay the groundwork for WTF-ITF integration. link

ITF President Master Tran Letter to IOC added

Madam,


I want to thank you for your answer concerning Mr. Chang Ung, IOC member. However, we continue to think that IOC Ethics Commission must examine the case. It is true that the decision, dated 7 September 2005, is a legal judgement from the Vienna Provincial Court. Why should you reconsider the case of Mr. Chang Ung? In the Olympic Charter, it is written that (the Olympic Charter) recalls the Fundamental Principles and essential values of Olympism, as good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical
principles. Mr. Chang Ung has not acted with fair play and has used his CIO status member to promote his proclamation as president of ITF, in a meeting that was not hold following ITF statutes. The letter inviting the members was not indicating that it would be a congress. When the participants arrived in North Korea to celebrate the 100th day memorial of General Choi’s death, on September 20th 2002, it was a shock to most of the attendees, when, after the memorial service, the gathering was transformed into a Special Meeting of the ITF Congress. The organizers decided to go ahead even though they were reminded that the Constitution of the ITF requires explicitly that a written notice announcing a Congress Meeting be sent out to voting members at least three months before the date of the meeting. In fact their special meeting was unconstitutional. General Choi Hong Hi had always insisted on the democratic process. So Mr. Chang Ung was introduced as the new President of the ITF without having been elected by the Congress. We understand that we are not an IOC member. In spite of that, we want the Ethics Commission to examine Mr. Chang Ung actions because he is an IOC member and IOC president Jacques Rogge has received Mr. Chang Ung as the ITF president (on your website). So I formed a work’s committee to lodge the formal complaint against Mr. Chang Ung. Mr. Chang Ung was not a Taekwon-do member and he has never practiced Taekwon-do. And truly, he is not acting following Taekwon-do values and principles. He was coming from nowhere. He is an impostor. How IOC can support such a member who has acted and talked without ethic and fair play? Some media are interested in the case, so we hope that the IOC will consider the moral problem represented by Mr. Chang Ung as member of the IOC. Is he still a good example and respecting the IOC ethical principles?

Thanks for your interest.

Mister President,

Thank you for your letter dated 12 January 2006. We just want to remind you that it is not an internal problem because Mr. Chang Ung has never been a Taekwon-do athlete and for the ITF, he was coming from nowhere. He is an impostor. The only interests he seems to be serving are North Korean politics. Some media are following Mr. Chang Ung activities. In your website, I read that your Federation wants “to preserve sport’s fundamental values”. Is Mr. Chang representing those values?

Best regards,

Master Tran Trieu Quan

My priorities to develop the ITF in the four coming years
Increase the visibility of the ITF on the international scene, particularly with the GAISF, IOC and with major media:

From 3rd of May 2007
87% told us it is “important” or “very important” to work for recognition from GAISF (General Association of International Sports Federations) and the IOC (International Olympic Committee).

From 25th of October 2007
Master Tran (rip): In the past, I have written to the President of the International Olympic Committee, the members of the IOC Ethics Commission, as well as the Presidents of the General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) and of the World Taekwondo Federation to inform them of the unethical and illegal actions of Mr. Chang Ung and his group.
I will be sending them an update on the situation, including copies of official documents related to the legal decisions. We also intend to ask GAISF to officially recognize the ITF. link

31th of December 2007
Four objectives:
To increase the visibility of the ITF on the international scene, particularly with the IOC, GAISF, and with major media.


AND WHAT WOULD BE THEIR REAL PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE IF ALL THINGS WOULDN'T BE ARANGE IN ADVANCE?
WAD ANTIDOPING.
WITHOUT IT YOU CANNOT GO IN SPORTACCORD (EX AGFIS) AND HERE THIS CIRCUS MADE A BIG MISTAKE. IT WILL BE FUNNY TO WATCH HOW WILL THEY TRY TO PUT ITF TAEKWONDO IN SPORTACCORD WITHOUT WADA.

BUT AS I KNOW THEM FROM THE PAST WADA WILL PUT OUT SOME PAPER ABOUT TESTING ITF IN THE PAST. FOR SURE.
