Dear Grand Masters, Masters, and Instructors,

We are very excited to invite you to participate in the 2025 CTFI National Taekwon-Do Championships in Levis, Quebec on May 17 & 18, 2025.  Black belts and coloured belts from CTFI-affiliated clubs in Canada, ages four and over, are invited to participate in this event.

It is our goal to provide an amazing and memorable experience for all participants and their supporters. This will be a well-organized event with excellent level of competition and sportsmanship, demonstrating the true spirit of the original ITF Taekwon-Do.

This event will be especially exciting because it will be the key qualifier for athletes competing for a spot on the Canadian National Team going to the ITF World Championships in Porec Croatia, October 2025.

For the 2025 CTFI National Taekwon-Do Championships, we are pleased to provide the following features to the tournament program:

• Pre-Order shirts online : ajouter le lien pour la commande de chandails

All instructors, are highly encouraged to become familiar with the most up to date rules, and we stress the importance of relaying the information to their participants.
