Life ITF offers membership to schools and organizations worldwide. Members are entitled to the following:
- Licensed to use Life ITF logos for the uniform (dobok) and other materials
- Apply for Grade (Colour belt) certificates
- Apply for Degree (Black belt) certificates
- Apply for Instructor certificates
- Assistance in operating the Member’s dojang, business-wise, technically or philosophically
- Eligibility to invite President Han to the Member’s seminar, physically or virtually (sponsoring required by the Member for physical attendance)
Membership Structure
Because ITF schools may be affiliated, co-owned, co-branded or governed under a larger association or organization, this section breaks down scenarios of which entity should apply for Membership.
Scenarios:
- A local school or club that is operated independently by an individual Instructor and is not affiliated to any other school, club or organization will register for Membership.
- Multiple schools or clubs join together and are under a greater association or organization. In this case, the organization at the top of the chain will register for Membership. All schools and clubs that answer to that organization automatically qualify for Membership. All enquiries from those individual schools shall directly approach their mother organization before contacting Life ITF.
Application Process
- The applicant fills this application form.
