Our vision of the goals of P.A.T.A. includes: an academic community where all
learn and teach one another in an atmosphere of mutual respect and pursuit of
excellence while producing a significant perception in the community. Have a
proper martial arts brotherhood alliance with regional Taekwon-Do Dojangs while
exchanging ideas and philosophies about each martial arts system/style.
"Every student of Taekwon-Do must endeavor to sacrifice for the unification of Taekwon-Do. Martial
artists, not politicians, must decide the destiny of Taekwon-Do. The unification of Taekwon-Do is
inevitable. Taekwon-Do is our life and we must pass a single united Taekwon- Do down to the next
generation. All martial arts should insist that the influence of politicians should be removed from martial
arts organizations. We must rebuild our martial arts organizations with martial artists only. We cannot ask
anyone else to conduct our business or define our mission. We cannot pass this responsibility to others.
We must ensure the next generation receives its rightful inheritance."
