implementing his vision of bringing together Taekwondoists from all across the Americas
sharing a common goal and purpose to foster increased participation in the sport among
Latinos, to create a forum for the beneficial exchange of ideas and experiences to the benefit
all and to expand opportunities and venues for competition between athletes who previously
had no opportunity to compete together.

As an organization the LAITF is whole-heartedly Athlete First in it’s orientation. The
leadership and core membership are united in sharing founder Master George Tapia’s vision
of an amateur sports organization that truly and consistently puts the welfare and best interest

LAITF Vision Statement
To offer amateur Taekwondo athletes and volunteer officials opportunities to develop to their
highest level through a program of sponsored local, regional, national and international
competitions, support of athlete development and sports training programs and
