Why Our CertificationsMatter

In the world of Taekwondo, not all certifications are equal. Many organizations issue certificates with little historical grounding or authentic lineage. GLTKD certifications are different — they trace directly to the Moo Duk Kwan, one of the original nine kwans of Korean martial arts.

When your school is certified by GLTKD, you're not just receiving a piece of paper. You're connecting your students to over 80 years of authentic Taekwondo heritage, from the original Moo Duk Kwan in Seoul to Grand Master Richard Chun's pioneering work in America, to Grand Master Fred Kouefati's continued stewardship today.

Authentic Lineage: Direct connection to the original Moo Duk Kwan tradition.
9th Dan Authority: All certifications issued under Grand Master Kouefati's authority.
Historical Integrity: Rooted in 80+ years of documented Taekwondo heritage.
Global Recognition: Recognized by schools and practitioners worldwide.
DAN Registration: The DAN number is registered in GLTKD.
