About Us

UTTC exists to serve its member schools.

  • We work hard to gain the trust of our members, and we work hard to keep it.

Our strength is technique, and that is our focus.

  • We understand that Tae Kwon-Do is first and foremost a martial art, not a sport. We strive to have the highest technical standards and the best-trained instructors.

We offer solid and consistent leadership.

  • UTTC Executive is a group of dedicated and experienced Tae Kwon-Do masters and instructors who have worked together successfully for years. UTTC follows a business model with long-range goals, stable leadership, and a focus on customer service. Member schools find security in knowing that the people they trust as leaders will be there in the future. 

We welcome applications from schools within Canada.

  • All applications are reviewed to assess their suitability to our goals. In most cases, schools join for a probationary period to provide both parties an opportunity to explore long-term possibilities. 

UTTC Benefits

Professional Development for Instructors

The backbone of any martial arts school is quality instruction. We work with instructors of small and large schools to increase their knowledge of the fundamentals and advanced techniques of Tae Kwon-Do. We assist instructors in the development and growth of their teaching skills so they can effectively train their students. 

Business Support and Programs for School Growth

With many years of operational experience, we have a wealth of knowledge and connections to support school owners in operating a successful Tae Kwon-Do business. Regardless of the size of your school, we can help you to reach your goals.

High Standards and National Certification

To maintain high standards member schools follow a core curriculum for every belt level. Schools implement their components to enhance and individualize their students' learning. We provide quality professionally designed 5x7" colour belt certificates and 11x14" black belt certificates, issued from our headquarters and entered in our national registry.
