GTF, ITF, WTF
GTF stands for Global Taekwondo Federation
ITF - International Taekwondo Federation
WTF - World Taekwondo Federation.
One of the major differences between these three Taekwondo federations is the political structure of each body.
ITF was founded by General Choi Hong Hi, GTF was founded by Grand Master Park Jung Tae and Malaysia's
very own Dato' Dr. Sabree Salleh has been awarded with the 9th Degree Black Belt and currently holding the title of Grand Master.
GTF is developed from ITF and the practitioners of GTF have to learn all ITF patterns as well as GTF patterns.
WTF Taeguek or patterns are completely different from ITF and GTF.
Although the Taekwondo practitioners learn almost similar basic techniques and movements. There are some differences concerning the philosophy behind every movement.
Taekwon-Do as been told is considered as the military art of self-defense, it was developed for the Korean army in those days.
