The NCTA would like to express its sorrow at the passing of current NCTA officer and past NCTA Vice President, Justin Faiferlick<\/strong>, who passed away on March 7 after a three-year battle with cancer. As Vice President, Coach Faiferlick served as Manager of the USA National Collegiate Taekwondo Team at the Summer World University Games. He also instituted the NCTA Academic All-American Program, which recognized taekwondo athletes with outstanding grades. Master Faiferlick was the head coach of the Iowa Central College Taekwondo program and a contant presence at NCTA events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said NCTA President, Dan Chuang, “Coach Faiferlick was an amazing individual who embodied the principles of service, excellence and selflessness. He was so competent and willing to help wherever needed, whether on-site at a national team event, pitching in to manage registration at a national championship, or coaching many outstanding athletes. I deeply appreciate his contributions to collegiate taekwondo. His presence will be sorely missed.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NCTA community extends its condolences to his family during this difficult time. Master Faiferlick obituary<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
