Bert D. Kollars, Tiger-Rock Martial Arts International Grandmaster
Bert Kollars has studied Taekwondo, Hanmudo and other Arts for 40 years.  His organizational and teaching resume began while pursuing a B.S. degree in business and agronomy at the University of Nebraska and continues as one of the principals of the ITA, now Tiger-Rock Martial Arts International
He credits Dr. He-Young Kimm as one of the primary martial art influences in his career as well as pioneers GM Haeng Ung Lee, GM Soon Ho Lee, General Choi, GM Won Kuk Lee, GM Craig Kollars and GM Art Monroe.
He sites key privileges in his career that include attending Grandmaster Won Kuk Lee’s last seminar before his death, being inducted into the U.S. Grandmaster Society in 2009, meeting many inspirational martial art leaders on two Korea/Japan tours and his relationship with many wonderful students and Tiger-Rock (Ho-Am) members.
Over nearly 40 years he has enjoyed being one of the primary developers of TRMAI operational and artistic systems.  He is dedicated to lifelong learning, honoring Martial Art heritage and innovation, raising his family and using Tiger-Rock Martial Arts and volunteer service to improve our communities.

The Alliance is built on the solid principles of its tenets: Honor, Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, Courage, Community, Strength, Humility and Knowledge. The ITA mission is to empower member Instructors and students to enrich their personal, artistic, and professional lives through traditional TaeKwonDo training.

While training authentic and highly skilled TaeKwonDo artists, ITA believes the highest purpose of TaeKwonDo education is to prepare students for the responsibilities of citizenship. TaeKwonDo is about real and powerful experiences, resulting in the discovery of innate capabilities and a heightened sense of responsibility. To that end, we encourage our students to use their Martial Arts knowledge to improve our communities through one act of leadership, public service, and mentoring at a time. ITA is a franchising company. Each academy is individually owned and operated.
