While Kukkiwon-affiliated organizations are primarily associated with the World Taekwondo Federation and Olympic sport, GLTKD's roots go directly back to the Moo Duk Kwan — one of the original nine kwans of Korean martial arts. Our certification emphasizes the complete heritage of Taekwondo, including its philosophy, history, and martial virtue, not just sport competition.
We welcome schools that want to maintain multiple affiliations. Our primary concern is that affiliated schools uphold the values and standards of the MooDukKwan tradition. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
Typically, we review applications within 3-5 business days. Once approved, you'll receive your membership agreement and certification materials within 1-2 weeks.
Yes. GLTKD certifications are recognized by our affiliated schools worldwide and carry the authority of Grand Master Fred Kouefati, 9th Dan, and the MooDukKwan tradition. Our Dan certificates are particularly respected within the traditional Taekwondo community.
Yes. Our curriculum covers all belt levels from white belt (10th Gup) through advanced Dan ranks, including forms (poomsae), self-defense techniques, sparring guidelines, and philosophical content.
Affiliated schools receive priority invitations to our seminars and workshops. Contact us to inquire about upcoming events or to arrange a seminar at your school.
