A list of Taekowndo Organizations...

[bushido_man96]

I was trying to think of all of the TKD organizations that are out there, and thought I would see how many we could list. If you can find it, also list how the organization spells the word "Taekwondo."

The ones I could think of:

ATA - American Taekwondo Association (Including WTTU - World Traditional Taekwondo Union; STF - Songham Taekwondo Federation)

TTA - Traditional Taekwondo Association

ITF - International Taekown-do Federation

WTF - World Tae Kwon Do Federation (I believe the USTU is under this umbrella as well - United States Tae Kwon Do Union)

UTA - Universal Taekowndo (sp?) Association

ITA - International Taekwondo (sp?) Association

ITA - Independent Taekwondo (sp?) Association

Those are the ones that I can come up with off the top of my head right now. Any others that anyone is a part of or knows about?

Omega Martial Arts is a small organization, its style is taekwondo based

I would say the main Tae Kwon Do organization in the world now is the World Taekwondo Federation.

The ITF, having split up into three entities and without Gen. Choi, is certainly not as relevant as it once was.

Others:

ATA-American Taekwondo Asociation. But again, certainly not as influential without Haeng Ung Lee.

USAT-The new version of the USTU. But it is a far cry from what the USTU used to be. Nowhere near as powerful.

There are also a host of lesser organizations, mostly regional, that have more local influence. But I think the future is going to bring a decline of the world organizations and the rise of newer organizations. This is evolution.

World Youn Wha Ryu Association Tae Kwon Do is a separate TKD organization.
