Taekwon-do Association of India (TAI)
TAEKWON-DO was first introduced to INDIA by GRAND MASTER HIL CHOW when he was directed by GEN. CHOI HONG HI the Founder of Taekwon-do & President of ITF (International Taekwon-do Federation) to visit India in the year 1968. But Grand Master Hi Chow could not get support he went back to Korea and later went to USA and developed Taekwon-do there.
“Taekwon-do Association of India” (in short TAI) was born due to the entrance of ITF Taekwon-do to India in the year 1984 under the guidance of Grand Master Leong Wai Meng, 9 th Dan Black Belt. Till 1991 it was called as All India Taekwon-do Association (AITA) and was registered at Chennai, Tamil Nadu and the Chairman was Mr. Kothandaraman. In 1989 when Grand Master Dr. Rajendran Balan who represented “Taekwon-do Federation of Delhi” as the affiliate of AITA wrote to the Founder of Taekwon-do Gen. Choi Hong Hi to visit India for giving a seminar to the students of India, as it was very difficult for any student to visit abroad to attend or meet the Founder of Taekwon-do. Hence GM Dr. Rajendran wanted to give all Taekwondo students of India the opportunity to meet and learn from the Founder himself. But unfortunately, due to bad influence of Mr. Kothandaraman by writing wrong about GM Dr. Rajendran and the city Delhi to the Founder, he stopped his visit in the last moment.
