It is with great sadness that we inform you of the tragic death of ITF President Grand Master TrânTriêu Quân, 9th Dan Black Belt, following the recent earthquake in Haiti. We have received information from the Trân family regarding the discovery of Grand Master Trân's remains.

The family has commented "Please tell them we are so thankful and that their words have given us strength in this tragedy. GM Tran is a wonderful amazing man. Please do not let his lessons and his acts of great love be forgotten. Please remember him and to continue to share and spread his mission."

A commemorative ceremony is planned for March. We will provide details of this as soon as they are confirmed.

Our condolences, prayers and thoughts go out to Mrs Tran, Joliette, Cecilia and Nicholas and all the Tran family.
