  • The original International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) is a taekwondo organization founded on March 22, 1966, by General Choi Hong Hi in Seoul, South Korea. The ITF practices a style of taekwondo known as Chang Hon taekwondo, though colloquially this is often called ITF-style. During the 1960s, the goal of the Korea Taekwondo Association (KTA) was to promote a unified style of taekwondo, as opposed to the nine separate martial arts styles of the Nine Kwans, and to promote the growth of this new martial art around the world. By establishing the ITF, Choi Hong Hi effectively severed his ties with the KTA. Without Choi, the KTA continued to work in parallel, eventually establishing the organizations Kukkiwon and the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF). Today, ITF and WTF are the two largest taekwondo federations worldwide. The ITF was initially formed as a federation of taekwondo associations from the following countries as its founding members: Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, West Germany, the United States, Turkey, Italy, Arab Republic of Egypt and South Korea.
