United States Chung Do Kwan Association

In 1967 Sell began the "Korea Tae Kwon Do Association of America" in

World Taekwondo Federation (WTF). It currently contains nearly 250,000 members and over 4,000 black belts,[citation needed] and is considered one of the oldest Taekwondo organizations in the United States.[citation needed

The USCDKA is known for its development of the Instructor's Degree System. Degrees of black belts, or dan, are earned separately of instructors' ranks. Each black belt is immediately eligible to earn an instructor degree upon earning their respective rank, but first must complete various training seminars (called NCITs), pass background checks, and demonstrate techniques in a manner similar to previous instructors. This is done to promote a sense of uniformity among schools, which are located all over the United States and Canada.
