I used to go to an ITF dojo in the states started by Grand master Hwang. ITF and WTF is worlds apart.

What an HONOR to be called "first rate" by Dojunim! A great man and martial artist who left behind a great legacy for us all. I wish I could have known him.

I have a 1st Dan Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. I wish I would have been able to meet General Choi.

itf is the original ,the difference between it and wtf ,well the main difference would be, in competition sparring.wtf is full contact,where they wear all the body shields and head gear..whereas in itf it is semi contact.and just foot pads and hand pads are required along with groin and gum shields.itf is better for originality in my opinion...wtf focusing mainly on sparring ,not other aspects of the art

A true founder and grandmaster who is not driven by politics, money nor corruption - he train anyway & everywhere. A man who live by his word - listen to his words careful and read his writings throughly, you'll find word of wisdom, essense of knowledge and the secret of TaeKwon Do. Man such of him can't be influence by this worldly things, it's not just skill, power or ability that makes you a good martial artist but also your character, spirit, intergrity and virtue.Something most master lack
