Subject: RE: GTF/USTF

 
 The connection between the GTF and USTF is that they are "sister 
 organizations."  After the GTF was created, letters of recognition were shared 
 between Grand Master Park, Master McNeely, and Master Hardin.  In these 
 letters of recognition, the USTF and the MATC (which is now the CTF) were 
 recognized as legitimate styles of TaeKwon-Do through the GTF, and would be 
 allowed to participate in GTF functions.  Although the USTF and MATC existed 
 before the GTF was created, the GTF is an international body.  The USTF and 
 MATC benefit from this due to the access of international competition, 
 seminars and Grand Master Park.  I believe in return, Grand Master Park would 
 play a role in the other federations, such as promoting the senior ranks.  To 
 be honest, I am unsure of the specifics, and if I have anything wrong here, 
 maybe someone can correct me.  But this is the general idea.

 Can anyone clarify exactly what the connection between the GTF and USTF
 is?  It is my understanding that there are people who are members of both
 Federations.
