Description: International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) was founded in 1966 by Major General Choi Hong Hi six years before his exile from South Korea in 1972 and seven years before the WTF. His first visit of good will to North Korea was in 1980, when he introduced Taekwon-Do there. It is one the two major international Taekwon-Do organisations, the other being the public Olympic International Federation called World Taekwondo Federation or WTF. The WTF though only operates competitions and has nothing to do with curriculum. For that, the WTF only recognizes the Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo Headquarters). General Choi was the primary figure in the development of Taekwon-Do during the 20th century and headed meetings with the senior Taekwon-Do masters to unify a large number of the Korean martial arts schools under the name Taekwon-Do. He is also responsible for providing Taekwon-Do with its name which was agreed upon on April 11th, 1955. He is acknowledged by practitioners of ITF Taekwon-Do as the founder and father of Taekwon-Do.

Greatest1942 ::: Favorites Who came up with the name "Taekwondo"? Who founded Taekwondo as a combative art for training the Korean army after the war? Who first promoted Taekwondo outside South Korea? Who founded the first international governing body to promote Taekwondo? Of course, it was Gen. Choi, the Father of Taekwondo! The "true" Korean history should speak out.....STOP CHANGING HISTORY! 07-08-14 01:34:17 _____________________________________________________
Greatest1942 ::: Favorites To me, Gen. Choi is forever the General Choi of the South Korea after the war (he was a hero). Also, Gen. Choi was more than a grandmaster (Tons of so-called WTF "What The Fuck" grandmasters out there). Gen. Choi was the FOUNDER of Taekwondo (other federations stole the name "Taekwondo" from him). 07-08-14 01:32:19 _____________________________________________________
