IPTF
The International Progressive Taekwondo Federation (IPTF) is a "politics-free” Taekwondo organization dedicated to promoting the true values of Taekwondo. An innovative and progressive Taekwondo organization, its goals are to help instructors and students of Taekwondo grow into better martial artists and better people society can look up to. Taekwondo means the way of the foot and the fist. It has several different styles, which emphasize either the foot or the fist.
Taekwondo has been turned into a mere sport used only to gain medals and trophies. Instead of creating better human beings, the survivor of the fittest attitude now rules this “sport.” In today’s world, true meaning and values of Taekwondo have been lost to many Taekwondoists around the world, and the IPTF is making a sincere effort to bring Taekwondo back to its roots.
The IPTF was formed by Grandmaster Javed Khan in 2004. The IPTF provides internationally recognized color belt certification, black belt certification, and instructor certifications. Other specialized certifications are also provided in conjunction with the World Khan Do Kwan Federation.

This system was developed by Grandmaster Javed Khan in 2004 and is now practiced in the United States, India and Bahrain. Khan Do Kwan, also known as Vajra Mushti Mal Yuddh (Lightening Hands Dirty Fighting), involves natural movements of the human body for effective self-defense and offense.
Khan Do Kwan techniques allow one to defend against brute strength as well as deadly weapons such as clubs, sticks, knives and guns. The skillsets gained in Khan Do Kwan give the student an edge over his opponent, as he is equipped in any situation or location.
