President's New Year’s Greeting
To the Membership of the International Taekwon-Do Federation of B.C.
Dear Masters, Instructors and Members,
As we usher in 2025, I am filled with pride reflecting on the remarkable journey our federation shared in 2024. This past year was a testament to the Indomitable Spirit and unity that define our Taekwon-Do family in British Columbia. Our year was highlighted by incredible events that brought members together from across the province, showcasing the depth of talent, camaraderie, and dedication within our federation.
The year started with an excellent competition and coaching seminar with Master Merritt which brought great insight into coach and athlete development in Canada. The National Technical Seminar in Vernon provided an invaluable opportunity for practitioners to refine their techniques under the expert guidance of our Canadian Grand Masters. The seminar not only deepened our technical knowledge but also strengthened bonds within our federation and beyond.
In Prince George, the BC Cup welcomed athletes from all levels, fostering an environment of growth and friendly competition. The event highlighted the expanding reach of Taekwon-Do in our province and the strength of our community.
The Northwestern BC Championships in Terrace brought another opportunity for members to shine, particularly for those in our northern regions. The spirit of collaboration and perseverance was on full display, a reminder of the unifying power of our art.
Finally, The BC Provincial Championships in Burnaby capped off the year, with competitors displaying exceptional skill and determination. The energy and sportsmanship were inspiring, reinforcing our shared commitment to excellence.
Each of these events underscored the tenets of Taekwon-Do, particularly perseverance, integrity, and indomitable spirit. They reminded us of the strength that comes from unity and the joy of sharing our journey with fellow practitioners.
As we look ahead to 2025, let us carry the momentum of this past year forward. Together, we will continue to grow, inspire, and achieve great things as a federation.
Thank you for your dedication, hard work, and passion. I wish you and your families health, happiness, and success in the new year.
Yours in Taekwon-Do,
Master David White
