@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 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

@dynapert where is this from?
-
@barefootbandit83 lol...I thought you said "learn ye' facts". Argh
-
@kero7642 well the kicking techniques rmeind me of northern kung fu, but that would be implausible due to the fact that the art was created from taekwondo. Honestly I think taekwondo is a convoluted mess now.

excellent .

@kero7642 hey i don't know jack about taekkyon lol did i say anything about it? all i know is i doubt taekwondo got it's extensive catalogue of kicks from shotokan.
-
@ubersum1 went through taekkyon manual. there are no tkd kicks. tkd kicks made by logic then. I mean, they're the simplest kicks anyone can think of. taekkyon has so many different styles of kicks but rarely any that resemble tkd.
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 ;)

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.
