Grand Master Trân
Grand Master Trân, our President’s body had been found in Port-au-Prince, under tons of rubble in what was the Montana Hotel. It is a terrible loss for his family and ITF Taekwon-do. Now though I hope his family can gain closure and find some comfort that he was found.
My heartfelt sympathies go to all of Master Trân's family at this tragic time. They have lost a husband, father, and grandfather. We have lost and inspirational and humble leader. One that will never be forgotten. Grand Master Trân has given so much to ITF TKD World wide and his teachings will never be forgotten. I hope that his legacy will go on just like our original leader General Choi hong-hi.
Please find full report here.
