It is with sorrow that I must announce that Grand Master Tran’s body was recovered at the Hotel Montana in Haiti.

GM Tran will be remembered by all of us as a great Leader and teacher of the true ITF Taekwon-Do as developed by General Choi Hong Hi. GM Tran worked tirelessly to develop a strong well managed Taekwon-Do organization. We were very fortunate to have such a great Master and teacher of Taekwon-Do living in Canada. GM Tran will be dearly missed by all of our members.

We wish to extend our heart felt condolences out to the Tran family during this tragic time.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Yours in Taekwon-Do,
Master C. Norman
