MichiganTKD Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 The question was not really answered. He asked about different styles of Tae Kwon Do, and mentioned ITF etc. The ITF, WTF, ATA etc. are organizations not styles. A style is a particular way of doing something. Tae Kwon Do styles are Chung Do Kwan, Moo Duk Kwan, Ji Do Kwan etc., all of which favor different techniques and approaches to doing them. Different TKD organizations include: ITF-the organization founded by Gen. Choi that practices the Chang Hun or Chon Ji forms WTF-the Korea-based organization headquartered in the Kukkiwon that practices the Palgue/Taegeuk forms and advocates full contact Olympic-style sparring. ATA-the American TKD Association founded by HU Lee as a subsytem based on ITF. Originally they did ITF forms, but switched to the Songahm forms that Lee developed. Additionally, there are numerous smaller organizations that may or may not be directly affiliated with the above but teach their technique. Hopefully this answers the question. My opinion-Welcome to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
