In 1980, Grandmaster Song Ki Pak founded the United Tang Soo Do Federation (also known as the United Martial Arts Federation). The UTF is dedicated to the growth of Tang Soo Do as a world martial art. It has developed into a prominent and internationally recognized organization of more than 17,000 members.

The UTF’s main headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida, is one of the largest martial arts facilities in the world. Grandmaster Pak teaches there daily and encourages students to visit his classes whenever possible.

Grandmaster Pak often hosts special events which bring members of the United Tang Soo Do Federation and invited guests from all over the country and from other countries as well.

Grandmaster Pak holds an annual instructors' seminar, where UTF instructors share ideas on such things as teaching dynamic classes, training junior instructors and operating successful schools.

Forms clinics are held twice a year. These clinics allow senior students to fine-tune their forms, going through them with step-by-step instruction, and insure that forms training and performance are consistent throughout our federation.

Grandmaster Pak also hosts invitational tournaments, which allow UTF students the opportunity to meet other UTF members and to test their skills in friendly competition.

If you are a school owner dedicated to making your students the best martial artists they can be, and you are in search of a parent organization to help you make that happen, contact Grandmaster Song Ki Pak at (904) 384-1111.
