International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) was founded in 1966 by Major General Choi Hong Hi six years before his exile from South Korea in 1972 and seven years before the WTF. His first visit of good will to North Korea was in 1980, when he introduced Taekwon-Do there. It is one the two major international Taekwon-Do organisations, the other being the public Olympic International Federation called World Taekwondo Federation or WTF. The WTF though only operates competitions and has nothing to do with curriculum. For that, the WTF only recognizes the Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo Headquarters). General Choi was the primary figure in the development of Taekwon-Do during the 20th century and headed meetings with the senior Taekwon-Do masters to unify a large number of the Korean martial arts schools under the name Taekwon-Do. He is also responsible for providing Taekwon-Do with its name which was agreed upon on April 11th, 1955. He is acknowledged by practitioners of ITF Taekwon-Do as the founder and father of Taekwon-Do.

  • The first ...

    The first occurrence of this (Jumping 360 turn from Fixed-Stance, U-Shaped Block to L-Stance, Knifehand Guarding Block) is in Choong-Moo, which is learnt at 1st Kup (Red Belt, Black Stripe) and required for grading to 1st Degree Black Belt. You're certainly correct however, in that that's not the pattern being demonstrated, which is Sam-Il.

    The think I like most about the video is how synchronised they are as a team. Anyone who's tried this will know how hard that is!
