I'm calling bullshit on these, the guy I learned from didn't teach us this shit. Then again, you're probably just in ITF. ITF is for losers, WTF is where it's at.

What is the difference between ITF and WTF?:S
[QUOTE=barling;17936022]What is the difference between ITF and WTF?:S[/QUOTE] I am probably horribly wrong but maybe ITF is International Taekwondo Force, and WTF is World Taekwondo Force
[QUOTE=AteBitLord;17936040]I am probably horribly wrong but maybe ITF is International Taekwondo Force, and WTF is World Taekwondo Force[/QUOTE] And yet... I hardly know what you mean:p International is in the country right?
[QUOTE=AteBitLord;17936040]I am probably horribly wrong but maybe ITF is International Taekwondo Force, and WTF is World Taekwondo Force[/QUOTE] Yeah that's right, minus the force bit, I'm pretty sure it's "Federation" My experiences with the two have been kind of biased I guess. The WTF guy I learned from was badass as shit, and taught us well. Then the ITF guy I had to learn from when the WTF guy moved, it was bullshit, he was this skinny white guy, and instead of properly warming up we played freeze tag. It was a fucking joke.
[QUOTE=barling;17936069]And yet... I hardly know what you mean:p International is in the country right?[/QUOTE] It means worldwide which is why I am most likely wrong.

Ok then i know enough i guess:p
I did this shit for four years, I went to PKS (Professional Karate Studious) and obtained a red belt. I still have a bow staff. I quit two years ago because it lost its entertainment value for me because the whole class was composed of four year olds who where supposedly as advanced as me at the time.
I remember doing this when i was in Tae Kwon doe. I got up to a 2nd degree black belt before I quit. We were required to know all of them by the time we were 1st degree black belts but I only knew like 15, they're really hard to memorize when you get to 12. In fact only about 20-30 people knew all of them out of all the 100-120 black belts when I was there.
Taekwondo is a joke. It's all show.

I switched to Wing Tsun Kung fu (because I am a weakling and need more efficient ways to kill people hurr-dur) and I found the grappling techniques that taekwondo offers are transferrable.
