ITF Taekwondo?
Hello, I am interested in learning opinions of people’s opinion about ITF Taekwondo. I know that is the system for the Korean military, so with that fact alone, I am assuming it is atleast half-way effective, but what is the full story? Is it really effective or am I fooling myself. So should I spend my money learning this art or should I look elsewhere.
P.S. I have practiced in other martial arts, but mastered none.
Help!! Which one should I practice, ITF or WTF Taekwondo?
Currently I am a blue stripe belt and will be taking a test for the red belt in the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF). I’ve practiced WTF TKD for quite a long time and I’m comfortable with the instructor and his teachings. But after I went to an ITF class near my house, I am very interested with it. I know that WTF is more sport oriented and ITF is martial arts oriented, and my purpose studying martial arts is to be able to defend myself, for health, and also for mental training (more confidence, not being a coward, discipline, respect, etc.). Actually i prefer to study ITF because it is tilted for self defense and also the philosophies and disciplines is better (in my opinion) than WTF.
I am not allowed to practice both styles, so now i am confused which to choose, continue WTF or start again in ITF. Personally i like ITF better but then i need to start from scratch if i choose ITF. Please, give me suggestions and also clear reason why i should do it.
