Senior Master Alejandro Pereira

7th Dan Black Belt | Founder & President of CFTP International

Senior Master Alejandro Pereira’s life story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of martial arts. In 1987, in his home country of Paraguay, Alejandro founded CFTP—a vision born from his deep connection to the Taekwondo lifestyle. He credits the discipline with "taking him from misery" and setting him on a path to instill those same life-changing values in future generations.

His unique approach blends world-class technique with a heart for community. What began as a personal passion has grown into a thriving international family. Today, CFTP is proud to empower students across the globe, with a strong presence in Canada, Paraguay, and Mexico.

For Senior Master Alejandro, Taekwondo is more than a sport; it is a journey of the heart and a legacy of resilience. His mission is to empower every student to realize their full potential, both on and off the mat.

We are thrilled to announce that Senior Master Alejandro is returning to his roots in Paraguay to open our newest location. By bringing his international expertise back to where his journey began, he is fulfilling a lifelong dream of giving back to his home community.

"If not now, when? Start your journey today on a path of excellence and growth."
