As planned, footage for a short documentary film about the ITF was recorded during the recent World Championships in Quebec City (Canada). The 11-minute video document has now been completed.

The video describes the vision of ITF Taekwon-Do through its four facets. An interview with the Chairman of each ITF Standing Committee gives viewers an idea of the important work done by that committee. In addition, there is some great action footage highlighting each type of competition that takes place at an ITF World Championship.

The documentary also includes video of General Choi Hong Hi explaining how he developed Taekwon-Do. We are very grateful to Com-Do Corporation for giving us permission to use this video footage of Our Founder.

The documentary is now available at our official ITF website in English version. The ITF can provide the original tape for all affiliated organizations to add the sub-titles in their own language. This documentary will help us make a good start toward increasing the visibility of the ITF, and I can assure you that we will be working very hard on this aspect in the future.

The Organizing Committee of the 2007 World Championships spent a total of 150 000 USD on communications for the event. There were daily live Internet Web casts of the competitions. Video footage of the competitions and other activities was used for television broadcasts, for the souvenir DVD, and for the production of the documentary video. The goal was to publicize the World Championships and ITF Taekwon-Do, and this goal has certainly been achieved.

ITF Taekwon-Do is an excellent product, and it has a great history. I believe that now is the time to promote the ITF. We want to help more people enjoy the benefits of living the Taekwon-Do way of life.
