1. What is the history of the United States Taekwon-Do Center (USTC)?
   

   Mario Cancelliere was born in the province of Isernia-Molice, Italy on November 2, 1947. At the age of two, his family immigrated to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Growing up in one of the roughest neighborhoods in Buenos Aires, he was constantly defending himself. He took up boxing and wrestling with the hope of learning how to defend himself. He was not satisfied with either and eventually abandoned them. One day, he inadvertently stumbled into a martial arts school and was attracted to the mental and physical training that he saw. Soon after, he enrolled in a Taekwon-Do class.

   Under the tutelage of Master Bong Pil Yang, Mr. Cancelliere earned his 1st degree Black Belt. He continued his training under the guidance of Master Hector O. Marano and in 1982 opened the first Cancelliere Taekwon-Do Studio in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

   The following year, Mr. Cancelliere moved to Philadelphia and opened the second Cancelliere Taekwon-Do Studio at 4665 Frankford Avenue. In 1986, the studio officially became known as the UNITED STATES TAEKWON-DO CENTER.

   Under the guidance of the USTC, the name RED TIGER TAEKWON-DO was coined in September 1992. Since then, various RED TIGER TAEKWON-DO do-jangs have been established primarily in the Philadelphia area and other Pennsylvania locations.

   Headed by Mr. Mario Cancelliere and with the aid of his family and senior students, the United States Taekwon-Do Center aims to promote Taekwon-Do through the teaching of its tenets.
