The UTA wishes to break the mold of your standard thinking, old fashioned organization and create a modern approach which best fits the current state of growth of Taekwondo and its upcoming leaders by leading instead of dictating.
Old organizations that run themselves with a dictatorship mentality are fading. Taekwondo has created many 9th dan leaders. The current state of Taekwondo has fragmented the two original organizations. We see this as a good progression and embrace the new growth and leaders as independent thinkers. We are looking for other leaders to lead beside us, no followers who blindly do what they are told. The UTA acts as a third party and helps leaders continue their journey of growing as a person and martial artist.
The UTA offers camps, seminars, tournaments and events to bring our organization together for networking and commradory.
