about tai – TAI

TAEKWON-DO ASSOCIATION OF INDIA (ITF)

“Taekwon-do Association of India” (in short TAI) was born due to the entrance of ITF Taekwon-do to India in the year 1984 under the guidance of Dr. Dato Grand Master Leong Wai Meng, 9^th Dan Black Belt.

TAEKWON-DO was first introduced to INDIA by GRAND MASTER HIL CHOW when he was directed by GEN. CHOI HONG HI to visit India in the year 1968.

Till 1991 it was called as All India Taekwon-do Association (ITF) and the new name “TAI” was given under the Chairmanship of Dr. Adv. Grand Master Rajendran Balan in 1991 and was registered in Delhi. He designed the LOGO of TAI to look it outstanding among other Martial Art Logos. Today TAI has developed into a nationwide organization of Taekwon-do with 26 state associations/union territories and about 300 thousand practitioners affiliated to itself.

TAI till MARCH 2018 have conducted the following events under the leadership of Dr. Advocate Grand Master Rajendran Balan and Master Rachana Chourasia with the support of all Senior Black Belts of TAI.
