What's the difference between taekwondo and ITF?

There are two kinds of taekwondo. One is ITF traditional taekwondo, which is dominated by North Korea, uses both hands and feet, pays attention to lethality and has strong actual combat ability; One is WTF Taekwondo, which is transformed from ITF and mainly comes from South Korea, that is, the Olympic Games. It can only use feet, not hands. It pays attention to speed and has no strength.

There are obvious differences in the arms of the competition: ITF: no other protective gear, only gloves WTF: protective gear, no gloves. The difference between ITF and WTF: ITF is more traditional, feels closer to martial arts, and emphasizes strength and attack effect in actual combat. WTF is more fashionable, giving up many simple and effective attack methods for the competition, and it is closer to sports. Actions of ITF and WTF

Comparison: ITF's action is more practical. In actual combat, you can often win with one blow, and the combination of fists and legs can achieve good attack effect in both long and short distances. WTF's movements are beautiful. In actual combat, continuous skills get high scores, but the role of boxing is very small and almost useless, and the strength of legs is relatively small in pursuing speed. Of course, some WTF masters have excellent leg strength and speed in actual combat, which is obtained through hard training.
