Difference between South and North Korean Taekwondo

As North and South Korea were divided by the Korean War, taekwondo developed separately. At the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics, they trained together and discussed how they could bring taekwondo back into the mix. It's not just about taekwondo, it's about cultural blending.

We all hope that someday north and south will be as one. No division. Just one nation.

Young, middle aged, or the boomers. Death has no bias towards age. 😮 Everyone should think about where she/he goes after this life. 😅 Don't wait until the end comes, and death swoops down for you. Have u ever thought about whether u go to heaven or hell after this life? Look at how many peeps die each day...but there's real hope... There's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, & not to be disrespected anymore by anyone. Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body. Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you without ranking/hierarchy. Isn't that a delightful thought? It's true you or anyone can have eternal life. All you got to do is to accept Jesus Christ 🙏 as your Savior! Once you do, He will let you into heaven during your day when you finally see Him! God does like you. You have to reach out to Him by prayers 🙏 ❤️ ♥️. Let Him know your issues 🙏 He is listening to you.

It is important to understand that a general from the South Korean army (General Choi) is the founder of Taekwon-Do and this beautiful martial art was created in 1955. Taekwon-Do ITF style is the traditional art. The WT style (Olympic style) was created in the ‘70’s and it is a very different martial art but they also use the name of Taekwon-do……………

[@_F.R.I.E.N.D.S_]

I am a black belt in ITF taekwondo, but played both formats in India, wtf taekwondo is more of sports but as far as self defence is concerned ITF is better, however WTF has better speed

[@windsolarartistic]

Wtf is full contact(knockouts) Itf is semi and light contact(no knockouts) Edit Wtf is similar to kyokushin karate except no knees in wtf and no punching to the face in both wtf and kyokushin While itf you can punch and knees except you cannot knockout your opponent similar to shotokan but shotokan bans knees and elbow strikes since shotokan is non-contact point based strike. Itf focuses semi and light contact

[@9inchpp]

shut up nobody asked about your life

[@sassuki]

Taekwondo comes from Japan. It is just korean karaté, mainly a twist on the Shotokan Style, as most original Taekwondo masters studied the Shotokan Style. They gave it a new name to give the illusion that it is an independent martial art. And for all the chimpanzees that will begin crying after reading this: the japanese did not invent karaté, as karaté literally means "Chinese Hand". Karaté is just a blend of different kungfu styles that made it to Okinawa. You can find Katas that have roots in Wing Chun, other Katas that come from White Crane Kungfu, other from Shaolin Kungfu, etc.

[@windsolarartistic]

Correct though Taekwondo was not called taekwondo until 1954 it was once known as tang soo do.

[@sassuki]

@@windsolarartistic exactly. And Tangsoodo is nothing but the Korean pronunciation of Karatedo, as both originally use the exact same kanji.

[@Katcom111]

China-> Okinawa -> Japan -> Korea. There were actually a few Koreans who studied under Kanken Toyama who is an Okinawan native. They did help create Bogu-Karate and Full-contact fighting.

[@Veloce2000]

And where or who created Kung Fu?? Bodhidharma?? Einstein?? Does it matter where & who was the pioneer?? The first is usually not the best , man evolve & improve techniques time to time.

[@sassuki]

@@Veloce2000 yes, it does matter, as you don't want your invention to be labeled as someone else's, do you? What the korean government is doing here is despicable and not honourable. By the way, there is no one kung-fu. As karaté has different styles, kung-fu has also (way more) different styles, with different origins. Unfortunately, in this very case, karaté is not better than kung-fu; to this very day, many japanese karaté masters fly to China to try and get some secrets that were not initially transferred to Okinawa (or got lost). And I am pretty sure, taekwondo masters do so too (in secret, both to Japan and China).

the problem is not Taekwondo... Taekwondo is like saying in korea "karate"as in the US (where all traditional styles are named "karate")... Taekwondo incorporates knowledges from different schools from all korea, but... korea is shamely divided into 2 nations which are about to going to war again... and as the official martial art of both nations , if conditions still... they will be both divided... no matter the name ITF, WT, WTF.. etc...

[@small_fries7573]

[@jasonorourke1787]

As someone who has practised ITF taekwondo all my life I’m 31, they are both completely different taekwondo. ITF and WTF are nowhere near the same they are completely different. Hopefully one day they will reunite as one country and the north may be freed from the evil dictatorship. But please do not bring god into this. It has absolutely nothing to do with it.

The founder of Taekwon-Do gen. Choi Hong Hi said about different imitators (WTF and many others): "They stole the name Taekwon-Do by fact"

[@00_rei90]

Firstly, Choi hong hi was a traitor. Secondly choi hong hi didn't invent/create Taekwondo. It was a collective effort from a dozen other masters to systemize (and nationalize) other martial arts schools under one umbrella. Thirdly, how could other so-called imitators stole the name "Taekwondo" when Choi himself wanted other schools to adopt the name? He wanted to transform taekwondo in his image, met resistance from other masters who had the rights to preserve their own schools, got butthurt and ran to north korea.

There is real Taekwondo (traditional, which is ITF) and it doesnt belong to North or South Korea, it belongs to just KOREA..... its creation dates far back before there was any "North/South" Korea..... However, there is "South Korean TKD" (WTF) and its a PUZZIFIED watered down version, which is also the most popular TKD today, unfortunately. South Koreans basically SPIT and turned their back on Traditional Taekwondo (which is far more effective in real life) and focused on Olympics hit point system Ballerina dancing instead of actual real life DEFENSE...... because of that North Koreans refuse WTF (very well done!) and adopt only ITF TaeKwonDo..... and because of that its vice versa for Souuth Koreans mostly, very sad.
