Please sign our Petition

Dear Students,

Grandmaster Duk Gun Kwon, President of the United States National Taekwondo Federation has asked for signatures from Tae Kwon Do students regarding the recent election of a convicted felon as President of the Kukkiwon, World Taekwondo Headquarters in Korea. It is unethical for a person of low ethical nature to hold this position. Seattle Tae Kwon Do wholeheartedly supports Grandmaster Kwon in his efforts to have the current Kukkiwon President with someone worthy of the position. I would like to ask that all students and families of Seattle Tae Kwon Do sign the petition in the front lobby in hopes of maintaining the standards of Tae Kwon Do.
Sincerely,

Master Brandon Richards
7th Degree Black Belt
