Story

Our Mission:

Our History

In 1985, there were no WTF Taekwondo programs in Etobicoke (a suburb west of Toronto). In April of that year, Master Michael Kwame Deh started giving lessons through the City of Etobicoke’s (Parks and Recreation, Community) programs. For over 9 years, he ran successful and well-attended classes. By the Fall of 1994, there were over 600 participants training in 9 locations throughout Etobicoke.

In March 1995, Master Deh ended his association with all city programs and incorporated the name “Etobicoke Taekwondo,” first as a “not-for-profit” organization with many “community” locations throughout Etobicoke (1995-1999), and later, as a “for-profit” community-based business with one single location (2000 to present).

With his slogan ‘TAE KWON DO-IT’, it was Master Deh’s expressed goal, back in 1985, to make Taekwondo a household activity in our community. We are proud to say that he has achieved this goal, and more! Today, there is more awareness of Taekwondo, and there are more Taekwondo schools in the area.

Etobicoke Taekwondo remains strong, and is by far, the premier Taekwondo program in western Toronto/eastern Mississauga!

ETOBICOKE! TAEKWONDO-IT!!!
