International Instructor Program

ATF Martial Arts International is the Instructor Training and Accrediting Program for the Allied Tang Soo Do Federation and the ATF Martial Arts System. All Instructors of ATF are required to pass the credentialing process of becoming an AIS (Active Instructor Status). This process includes a criminal back ground check to make sure our instructors are the highest standard. 

The ATF Instructor Certification Program  is a "whole  Martial Artist" program, which emphasizes the complete development of a  professional warrior, and is a key component of the ethical warrior concept.  ATF's instructor training and certification process is designed to improve the Instructor's capabilities to educate, facilitate, and provide the highest standards of individual, group & school instruction as well as student care. We also enhance the "Student to AIS" journey by building self-confidence and fostering the warrior ethos of Martial Arts.  The focus is on the personal development of each Instructor in a team framework,  using a standardized, trainable, and sustainable curriculum,  combat system, and instruction process. We teach the emphasis with three disciplines; Physical, Mental and Spiritual character.

To achieve AIS you will realize and practice Martial Virtue in all facets of your chosen Martial Arts discipline. Whether you desire to teach a sport, weapons, or combat based systems, As an AIS you will learn how integrating our proven instruction process tough realistic training, physical and mental challenges, and shared adversity will help you succeed as an instructor or martial arts business owner and, most importantly, how to value all students entrusted to you.
