It's the same with TKD. There is so many versions, it's not funny. I study Kwok Wu Chuen TKD (a mix of WTF and kung fu at later ranks). There are Tae Kwon Do Moo Duk Kwan, ITF, WTF, ect. Tang Soo Do has a boat load, too. ITF (TSD), IMA, WTF (TSD), .... the IMA and ITF are exactly the same (in forms, techniques ect), too. They should join together lol. I could go on, but it'll take all day lol. So I won't.

Actually not versions ... WTF, ITU, ITF GTF, USTF, ATA, ITAetc. etc. are the diferent associations or organizations of TKD. Of the arts pronounced 'tie kwahn doe', if they're spelled: Taekwondo - probably WTF, with the kind of sparring you'll see in the Olympics, the largest organization

 

Taekwon-do - probably ITF, following Choi

 

Tae Kwon Do - probably with one of the small federations, an independent, probably calling themselves 'traditional' with little changes in the last 50 years

 

All of these are kicking/punching arts that have placed more stress on the kicking aspects than did their forebears. How much stress is placed on competition, sparring, forms, etc in a particular school varies much more with the particular instructor than with what it's called or what organization the school is affiliated with.

 

Then there are ecclectic offshoots of TKD .... (this is where the crosstraining among styles happens) adding either some Kung Fu, graplling etc.

 

Essentially politics, what set of forms are done, and what rules of sparring are followed... really all these arts come from the same background, the Koreans that studied Japanese/Okinawin Karate and opened schools (Kwans) after World War II that (mostly) cooperated with each other to achieve more success.

 

Kong Soo Do = Korean pronounciation for karate-do.

 

Tang Soo Do = Korean pronounciation for way of the Tang hand.

 

Karate Do = Okinawin way of the Kara (Tang dynasty Chinese) hand.

I agree Kickchick. The style of TKD I study is an offshoot. But We are certified both in TKD (WTF) and Kung Fu. It's a weird combo, but I've been there long enough to know it's a pretty cool combo. I saw the Shaolin forms that we will be learning, and now I can't wait. I have to learn more about Kung Fu, but what I learned so far is so cool. I also wanna learn Hapkido (besides what my TSD teacher taught us), so I would have to look into the different styles of Hapkido.

 

I don't bash an art for being "new". If it works, then fine, use it. If it doesn't, throw it out. I really like this style TKD. It works for me

 

But yes, there are different orgs and assn's. But if you look at each org or assn, their styles are slightly to way different from each other. I've only known two assn's to be the same, which are TSD (the ITF and the IMA). The rest are noticablely different no matter what style it is.

STD har har har....

 

 

[karatekid1975]

TKD, that's gross, man

Korean Martial Arts as a whole is a pretty complete system. Somewhere in the Korean martial arts there is something for you...TKD for kicks.. ChongdoKwan for close promixty hand strikes.... Combat Hapkido for Takedowns and ground grappling. If you want to learn a lil weapons like Kendo, just take up Kumdo, which is like Kendo, except it involves a more complete fighting system, such as kicks and takedowns... The korean martial arts is truly amazing. When I get higher rank in TKD, i want to go to Korea and maybe study some martial arts which generally only appear in Korea.
