As we begin sharing the history and future of ATF, we wanted to start at the beginning.
The story of the Allied Tang Soo Do Federation began with Great Grand Master Fred Weeks and Susan Weeks. Under the instruction of Chuck Norris, they developed the knowledge, discipline, and leadership that would later inspire the creation of ATF.
These photos capture two important moments from that journey: Great Grand Master Fred Weeks presenting Chuck Norris with a commemorative plaque during his Black Belt test, and a photo of our founders alongside their instructor.
As we begin sharing the history and future of ATF, we invite you to join us in celebrating the people, moments, and values that continue to shape our organization.
