could someone tell me where exaclty is the difference between ITF and WTF?
I´m 1. Dan WTF but seeing ITF videos i just notice some differences between poomsae and hyeong and their clothes are a little bit different but apart from that i think the professionals are equal awesome :D
@DeathMetalPwnsXD u actually think u'd stand a chance against the dudes that fight in the world championships or the olympics? stick to making retarded comments on ur computer.
Jackie Chan is a KungFu Master in several forms (Chen, Yang, Wing Chun etc.). As for him having been trained in other martial arts, I have no idea. Perhaps Chinese Boxing? Ah well...in the end, the fundamentals of all martial arts are very similar.
@TzTokFlame Being asian has nothing to do with it. Dedicated training and discipline is what brought these people to these heights. Not everyone learns as quickly, that much I'll give you, but anyone can get to this level if you train hard enough.
@Perkulezon u dont have a clue. if u have as much expierience and knowledge as these guys it comes second nature as soon as they have to deal with such situations so stop talking shit on youtube videos and go practise a martial art u fukin idiot.
@blackbelt807 think of the inward knifehand strike in won hyo, that can have application as a strike to the neck artery or as an arm break or as a joint lock. low outer forearm block can be used to dislodge someone if they grab your arm. The techniques can have non obvious applications
@TibsterNumber13 Choon-Moo, named for Korean Admiral Hi Sun Sin who was reputed to have invented the first armored battleship the Kobukson in 1592. Think I got that right. ^_^
I like everything. Only thing I can say I maybe didn't like was when they sparred they kept their front hand down...but it's not really a big deal. Amazing video, I liked the end quote too.
@SOCOMSoldier01 Yeah, the front hand is down to protect the lower body, the abdomen etc from low kicks.
we do tkd so we have to watch out for kicks as well as punches. example if you do skipping side piercing kick, you're opponent can block your kick with a waist block and counter with low kick to the abdomen, if ur hand is there the kick will not be scored as a point. That's for tournaments only, for self defense, you'd have to keep both hands up tho.
@TibsterNumber13 well as I know - CHOONG MOO is tul you have to know for BLACK BELT 1.DAN...and my knowledge tells me that TKD ITF have no brown belt but maybe I am wrong :)
I love ITF Taekwon-do! i am a first dan black belt now, but i hope i will be a grandmaster somday! but that will take like a life time! that will be very hard! very, very hard! I want to be like grand Master Rhee, Ki ha!
@TheLegijaStranaca It's a demonstration not a real fight you knob. You think they're just going to let people go at each other with wooden planks whilst an audience watch in real life?
@tenkoza shut your lame ass up, you know nothing of TKD, UFC is not a style, its a mix of martial arts like kickboxing and jujitsu. infact a few MMA fighters use TKD as their striking art with another grappling art. go read a book loser.
@Jehuty989 First of all i said nothing offending just wanted to see what they are worth in real battle, and not the showcase they were doing on this video. And second of all u tell me to read a book?. I study on a grade tht u can't even imagine. So pls go upload some more cute animated video's before u make urself more embarrassing then u are already.
@tenkoza Everything you said was offesive you loser. Btw, Taekwondo is the martial art taught to South Korean Special Forces and in the Vietnam war, Koreans killed more Vietnamese in their ratio than any single American. IS THAT REAL ENOUGH FOR YOU? hahaha do some research before you say some stupid shit. Try looking in my uploads you loser and your see that TKD owns all in the ring.
@tenkoza please pay no attention to that person, his words are an embarrassment to taekwondo. to answer your question, only knowing tkd and fighting in a cage with a professional cage fighter well versed in MMA would get you nowhere. even if you were exceptionally great at it, if you don't know how to fight on the floor then you can pretty much guarantee that you're going to lose painfully. however a good tkd fighter who knows BJJ also, has as much chance of winning as any of them i guess
@h0rangi wtf are you talking about? im 3rd Dan in ITF TKD and i also do Muay Thai, and JAPANESE Ju jitsu. If you looked at tenkoza's page, you would see that he is a total fucking troll and all he does is talk shit to everyone because he is a fucking loser.
@Jehuty989 what do you mean what am i talking about? what are YOU talking about?? haha what does you being a 3rd dan in TKD and also doing muay thai and japanese jui jitsu have to do with anything?
i also train ITF, muay thai, boxing and brazilian jui jitsu..
whats that got to do with the price of bacon?
a whole other kettle of fish you seem to be frying friend :D
@h0rangi "it is a good stand up fighting style. IF, and i cant stress enough on this point, THE FIGHTER IN QUESTION USES IT WELL." <--- that's true of everything dude. western boxing would win against anyone in UFC if it was used perfectly. if everybody is doing their chosen art perfectly, there can't be a winner.
@Lucranco General Choi nothin'. Choi Hong Hi, may have given the art a new name, but korean martial arts have been practiced for centuries. This video is impressive and is a true representation of Tae Kwon Do, but it's not the invention of a single man, it's the evolution and the product of hundreds of years of perfecting and innovation.
@MindenburndMaster Did you learn any theory at all? Taekwon-do was put together by the general but based on the Korean Tae Kyon (1300 years old art) and partly on Karate too.
@AngelicPhantom Taekwon-Do was created from a combination of Taekkyon, karate, physics, and his own improvements. However, my knowledge is based on true Taekwon-Do in the USTF. I also reconize the ITF as true Taekwon-Do. The WTF is too different from General Choi's art to be Taekwon-Do. It is it's own art.
@MindenburndMaster nope tkd didn't exist b4 gen choi invented it. even taekkyon was nearly dead at the time. tkd is gen choi's brainchild and invention. he took it from a karate looking art with kicks to what it is today. but i will allow that tkd has had several influences, example itf tkd HAS been influenced by WTF tkd, for the better I think, it has also been influenced equipment changes and the innovations of competitors. It's an evolving art.
Martial web definition: "warlike: suggesting war or military life."
ITF is used currently used in the North Korean Military and previously in the South Korean Military. Your thinking of WTF (World Taekwon-Do Federation) which is sport orientated.
@MaGaTsU117 Funny that. Chang Hon/ITF system was developed through the military in 1950's, during Korean War, in S. Korea. Practised by Korean military. Sounds martial enough for me.
@chrisgeorgegray Hey that sounds like a good idea, I may just go do that. Oh wait!! I'm a black belt in Tae Kwon Do! I forgot about that, haha. Thanks for the suggestion though. :)
The form he started at 3:25 was the lousiest form I have ever seen. He utterly drops his guard between every move and has no deliberacy in any of his moves. Fail.
@Necrobotics No. The General always said first you must master your body. Of course, it is impossible to master your body so your life is spent in pursuit of that mastery.
And no offense to the poster, but this video doesn't do TaeKwonDo a whole lot of justice. I think perhaps a video of my own is in order. There are takedowns, ground defense, breaks, throws, all of these things are part of the traditional curriculum. These guys are great at acrobatics, but they do an awful job of showing real applicable techniques where they are needed.
"I train taekwondo and trust me, any of these with black belt could easily kill you, believe it or not you would never see it coming, sorry." yuzoki, you are totally right. I started ITF and sparring is a POINT game, with Ho Sin Sul DEMONSTRATIONS, I have seen more than enough to satisfy my belief that they can kill you without you seeing it coming.
good artists, no more credits. this tkd is fake, no real breakings, do not show to people to keep them not dissapointed in that style. you'd better have gone to some shows like "you think you can act?"
I've tried WTF for 6 months at two schools. Both were what i felt orientated like a business in the sense of more money from each participant. That said it was a family-friendly and a fun environment. ITF on the other hand was what people have said in the comments for this video, more all-rounded. The ITF club i was at was great and so were the schools we trained against.
ITF, WTF; they're all TKD. However, I think that ITF gives a more well-rounded and mental approach to TKD, as compared to the soulless point-scoring taught in WTF. Also, I find that ITF fighters are better at improv sparring and have more endurance than WTF fighters. Both are nice styles, but I prefer ITF.
@rubberducky312 That´s a big "could." You think an exprienced TKD fighter would't expect you to do something like that? Thing is, TKD figher can easily swap his kick to another in an instant. Example, a rounhouse to the body can be turned to a sidekikck to the face pretty smoothly.
@rubberducky312 I would love for you to try. I can come to wherever you train and spar with you. I'm a 2nd Degree Black Belt and I would almost guarantee that you would not take me down. And if by some off chance you did I would be able to get up and finish the fight. Tae Kwon Do has the fastest reaction times in all of martial arts as well as the strongest kicks. I do want to test your theory however and am willing to fly out to your area to test this.
@SarutobiNinjgetzu No martial art is better than the other. They all have their cons and pros. It comes down to the person manipulating the techniques to prevail.
@immortalmuffinz I agree completely. "1st degree black ITF TaeKwonDo" Art is irrelevant. Don't get me wrong, i'm proud that I know TaeKwonDo, and I loved my training and instructor, but Being able to apply what you've learned to win the fight/battle means everything. Whether it's on the ground, in the sky, kicks and punches, your movement and actions are what determines the outcome.
i think that all martial artists who watch this video and say "muay tai is better than TKD " or TKD is the best martial art there is " should transfer school becouse any good teacher would always say " you cant compare martial arts only martial artists " so think about that before you coment
I wish there were an ITF academy here in Costa Rica, I like TKD but I feel that the olympic style focus have corrupted the true meaning of this martial art, to do something only to score a point have no meaning...
@mauricios1981 OLIMPIC TKD IS NOT A MARTIAL ART PER SE IS A SPORT BUT IT DOESNT MEANT YOU DON,T PRACTICE IT LIKE A MARTIAL ART, PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Like i said. Do TKD whatever style. once black belt., or until youve mastered your kicks to a level that u can practice on your own properly. move on to a real full contact martial art.
could someone tell me where exaclty is the difference between ITF and WTF?
I´m 1. Dan WTF but seeing ITF videos i just notice some differences between poomsae and hyeong and their clothes are a little bit different but apart from that i think the professionals are equal awesome :D

@Necrobotics No. The General always said first you must master your body. Of course, it is impossible to master your body so your life is spent in pursuit of that mastery.

And no offense to the poster, but this video doesn't do TaeKwonDo a whole lot of justice. I think perhaps a video of my own is in order. There are takedowns, ground defense, breaks, throws, all of these things are part of the traditional curriculum. These guys are great at acrobatics, but they do an awful job of showing real applicable techniques where they are needed.

"I train taekwondo and trust me, any of these with black belt could easily kill you, believe it or not you would never see it coming, sorry." yuzoki, you are totally right. I started ITF and sparring is a POINT game, with Ho Sin Sul DEMONSTRATIONS, I have seen more than enough to satisfy my belief that they can kill you without you seeing it coming.

good artists, no more credits. this tkd is fake, no real breakings, do not show to people to keep them not dissapointed in that style. you'd better have gone to some shows like "you think you can act?"

I've tried WTF for 6 months at two schools. Both were what i felt orientated like a business in the sense of more money from each participant. That said it was a family-friendly and a fun environment. ITF on the other hand was what people have said in the comments for this video, more all-rounded. The ITF club i was at was great and so were the schools we trained against.

ITF, WTF; they're all TKD. However, I think that ITF gives a more well-rounded and mental approach to TKD, as compared to the soulless point-scoring taught in WTF. Also, I find that ITF fighters are better at improv sparring and have more endurance than WTF fighters. Both are nice styles, but I prefer ITF.

I bet I could take down a guy that knows Taekwondo...Yea they have technique. But all you have to do it catch a kick, trip them, and go from there.
rubberducky312 1 year ago
@rubberducky312 That´s a big "could." You think an exprienced TKD fighter would't expect you to do something like that? Thing is, TKD figher can easily swap his kick to another in an instant. Example, a rounhouse to the body can be turned to a sidekikck to the face pretty smoothly.

@rubberducky312 I would love for you to try. I can come to wherever you train and spar with you. I'm a 2nd Degree Black Belt and I would almost guarantee that you would not take me down. And if by some off chance you did I would be able to get up and finish the fight. Tae Kwon Do has the fastest reaction times in all of martial arts as well as the strongest kicks. I do want to test your theory however and am willing to fly out to your area to test this.
Let me know,

Whatever you say Ninjutsu is the best martial art because of the body control
SarutobiNinjgetzu 1 year ago
@SarutobiNinjgetzu No martial art is better than the other. They all have their cons and pros. It comes down to the person manipulating the techniques to prevail.
immortalmuffinz 1 year ago
@immortalmuffinz I agree completely. "1st degree black ITF TaeKwonDo" Art is irrelevant. Don't get me wrong, i'm proud that I know TaeKwonDo, and I loved my training and instructor, but Being able to apply what you've learned to win the fight/battle means everything. Whether it's on the ground, in the sky, kicks and punches, your movement and actions are what determines the outcome.
Coads26 1 year ago
i think that all martial artists who watch this video and say "muay tai is better than TKD " or TKD is the best martial art there is " should transfer school becouse any good teacher would always say " you cant compare martial arts only martial artists " so think about that before you coment

@stevenwithyomomma totally agree <.< no such thing as the best martial art or the worse... its how the fighter uses it

I wish there were an ITF academy here in Costa Rica, I like TKD but I feel that the olympic style focus have corrupted the true meaning of this martial art, to do something only to score a point have no meaning...

Like i said. Do TKD whatever style. once black belt., or until youve mastered your kicks to a level that u can practice on your own properly. move on to a real full contact martial art.
