Trân Triêu Quân

Trần Triệu Quân (March 26, 1952 – January 12, 2010) was a Vietnamese-Canadian grandmaster of taekwondo and a professional engineer. He was president of one of the three International Taekwon-Do Federation groups from mid-2003 until his death. Trần held the rank of ninth dan black belt in taekwondo.

Trần was born on March 26, 1952, in Vietnam. He began his study of taekwondo from age 12. Trần attained black belt status by the age of 17, and was teaching taekwondo under his instructor, Kim Bong Sik. He was appointed president of one of the three ITF organizations on June 13, 2003.

Trần was in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on business (ironically, working on improving building standards to withstand earthquakes and hurricanes), and was staying at the Hôtel Montana when it collapsed in a 7.0 magnitude earthquake on January 12, 2010. Trần's remains were found and his death was confirmed on February 12, 2010. They had two daughters and a son—Joliette, Cécilia, and Nicolas—all holders of black belts in taekwondo. Apart from his wife and children, Trần left behind son-in-law François Beaudin; grandchildren Jasmine and Sandrine; and brothers Triệu Cung and Triệu Lân.
