"Tae" means to kick, "Kwon" means to punch, "Do" is the art that we all love so much. Based on scientific movement and Asian philosophy, General Choi leaves the world his "Legacy".
General Choi, General Choi created TaeKwon-Do for all to enjoy. He studied Karate, he studied TaeKyon from a calligrapher known as Master Ill Dong He was sent to the US in June 1949 for military training, had to leave his wife behind. He returned to Korea, to fight in the war, and the "fist division" insignia he wor
i love the way people get there opinion's from random book's :D my opinions come from my actual ITF school where i actually paracticed ITF and they had the ITF encyclopedia back in australia :) living in japan now, taken up kyokushin here, seems very similer , so thats great for me :D
ITF and WTF came both later. Taekwondo was Taekwondo, under many schooles (mine is a "Moo Duk Kwan" school, a school of TangSooDo/SooBahkDo and Taekwondo). Later they split in two different Federations; WTF became more and more "sport oriented" while ITF retained some of the traditional parts, while still modifying something else ;) And don't be an hater, please. Martial Arts are not focues on promoting hating.
@SOCOMSoldier01 i dont totally disagree with that but one style that is left behind and useless in my opinion is WTF all about scoring points with the legs and no focus at all on guarding or using with the hands, thats how it was back in australia anyway, maybe other countries have better versions of WTF but judging from the olympics i still cant see it
I do TKD (ITF) and the only ones decent enough as the actual art is concerned is the North Korean Team (Their boards are actual thick boards for a start) and the WTF masters. As a generality the standard outside of Korea is low, which can be said for most arts.
actualy general choi invented ITF who was a 2nd dan in shotokan and he mixed with ancient korean martial called takyeon when korea was under japanese rule, learn ya facts before you post them ;)
Taekkyon+Karate Shotokan+modern science pratique as a fighting style could be very dangerous, practique as a sport its nothing cause sport its to have fun of what you do

I think your refering to what we call the reverse turning kick. or you could be refering to the plain back kick.

@savedxsoul
your wrong ITF is about control and technique, also about safety with majority of things we dont even contact with.
i think the first minute was three-step-sparring, correct me if i'm wrong

Well of coz! One of the tenets of taekwon-do ITF is Self-Control.
Still there are broken arms and dislocated jaws in amateur tournaments.
SICK control. totall SICK
