In no way do I mean to stir any pot with this one!! I would simply like to hear thoughts from the collective.
I was just browsing and came across the mission of the USTW.
"The mission of the United States Taekwondo Won (USTW) is to meet four goals. First, the USTW will promote Taekwondo as a martial art. Second, the USTW will provide, for the first time in the United States, a uniform and equitable dan promotion standard and certification on a national and local level. Third, the USTW will fill a dangerous void in the martial arts in this country by creating and applying a uniform and adequate standard for certification of Taekwondo instructors in the United States. Finally, the USTW will develop a uniform dojang curriculum and develop dojang business operations seminars."
As a memeber of the ATA, it seems that the main objective of the ATA (below) are in the same line with the USTW, Promotion of Taekwondo at a standardized level.
The American Taekwondo Association (ATA) is the premier North American organization dedicated to the martial arts discipline of taekwondo, and is the founding organization of other international affiliates that include the World Traditional Taekwondo Union (WTTU) and the Songahm Taekwondo Federation (STF). Counting both the U.S. and worldwide, our organizations oversee over 1,500 schools and clubs, and we are beginning to register over 300,000 members.
Since the first class was taught many years ago, the focus of our program has remained the same: to provide students the highest quality martial arts instruction available in a safe and positive learning environment that people of all ages can enjoy. Our instructors combine excellent student instructor ratios with state of the art training facilities. This has helped establish ATA schools and clubs as the leaders in the martial arts industry. Each instructor is a graduate of an instructor program that represents more than thirty years of research and development. He or she will be with you every step of the way to help you reach your individual goals (and maybe even reach some new goals you never before thought possible).
So I guess my question is this: Why all the garblygook obout the different organizations?
I chose these two organizations only because I am familiar with ATA and I came across the USTW mission. Please Understand I in no way have any malicious intent!!
Thank you for your thoughts!
