Now I want to see them fight according to ITF sparring rules.

Learned WTF for about 6 years, but i support ITF because WTF removed too much of original TKD moves in order to join the olympics.

My two daughters (11 and 14 years old) train in the ITF since 4 years ago. They don't train with contact. But three times in the last year they have used it successfully in the street, even in situations with no physical advantage. I have to thank ITF Tae Kwon Do for this.

Congratulations WTF. Now try with ITF rules.

Reading GOH from webtoon and then i want to see this shit

I am from WTF. Yes, unfair to ITF.

I'm an old Wtf nerd. 1981-2000. But I would like to have learned itf too. There are some "twists" to the kicks and how they're delivered that I'm secretly jealous of. But now I'm 49, live on a small island in Thailand so maybe in my next life 😊

i used to do both... started as a ITF hwoarang and now im doing wtf and i have to say do not let the look of the armour and the acrobatics fool ya wtf is mean. i have been beaten more in wtf than itf.. and the no punch to the face rule makes it difficult for a guy like me with long arms. the protectors makes it that people kick more and hit you more. in itf every kick had a toll so all of a sudden your fighting style seems to change a bit because of the damage you sustain. I also while practicing ITF made the mistake to think wtf was a joke but they are both taekwondo the wtf guys have a different aproach to training and sparring. in some way they are more athlete's and they want to take there abilities to new heights. ITF was more about the martial art and the DO (way of taekwondo). that you could take your entire life becoming better. WTF because of how competitive they are this guys work out and train so different. if you want to sit behind a keyboard complain try them both and you will know the true differences and you will understand my words.

Good fight! But somehow is a unfair game in my opinion, it is WTF vs ITF but they used the WTF regulation:-)

I was a Blackbelt in ITF and I also currently a Blackbelt in WTF and I believe ITF is better for sparring as i was always in the heavy weight category because I am shorter but I could use my hand techniques to get in and score against taller opponents and WTF is good but due to the fact you can only punch to the chest to score it is a lot harder to gain an advantage and when you look at WTF fighters they are tall where ITF has a larger variety of fighters of all sizes. There seems to be a lot of negative comments towards ITF and I have seen fighters of all grades sparring and people think ITF is semi contact all the time when it isn't and ITF don't wear chest protectors. People who have done both styles would probably have a similar opinion. WTF is in the olympics while ITF can't be because of ITF, TAGB which are pretty much follow the same rules aren't allowed in the olympics for political reasons. The Olympic committee won't allow poomsae in the olympics which is mainly what is practiced in clubs and sparring attracts people in joining although there is a England poomsae squad.

if you are trying to show the difference, you can not use just one rule system, because it gives that style an advantage. let them loose by both rules system and see who is the better fighter. The ITF fighter would total dominate the fight if he would be allowed to use his fighting system..I have seen a lot of these videos and it always WTF rules, are they to afraid of loosing to the ITF?

Both we're actually quite excellent. You rarely see such a close match up like this when it comes to different regulations and/or style match ups. Even though the ITF fighter was fighting in a different rule set, he did really well. I think it goes to show that even though both use different rules, it's still Taekwondo at the core. Great fight, thanks for uploading.

ITF fighter under WTF rules, Of course the ITF fighter would lose. A major component of ITF fighting is punching to the head, which isn't allowed in WTF.

i love how wtf spins and then falls down on his own, love it...

im here to say that i respect both two distinct styles WTF and ITF. It doesnt matter who wins or loses, all different types of martial arts are perfect. Its just a matter of question of who and what are the capabilities of that person. Now if you guys are gonna keep going about which style is better youre looking at it wrong both styles are perfect in combat both used in the military its just depends on how they utilize the style if you know how to adapt in combat whatever what martial art you are practicing will be perfect. WTF sparring has a different focus just because they only show kicking that doesnt mean in self defense they dont use fist or takedowns to bring down an enemy this sparring is a sport not combat. while for ITF its sparring is more focused in combat so most of the time its self defense focused like kickboxing but all this doesnt matter as long as we respect other martial arts and martial artist because if you dont youre a shame in the name of MARTIAL ART FOR FORGETTING THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT IN MARTIAL ARTS : RESPECT. STOP THE BASHING BETWEEN ITF AND WTF.

ITF the best!!!

1. Fact: Both of them is a good fighter. Any one of them would KO-ed their opponent if they made a mistake. 2. I practice both ITFand WTF. ITF: Self Defence+Art WTF: Sports 3. Basic is the same. Its all depends on the practitioner and how their instructor trained them. Taekwando=ITF/WTF Love both of them.

I was a 3rd degree Black Belt in ITF Taekwon-Do, and I was originally planning to keep doing, just for exercise, but the pandemic stopped me.

Eso fue wtf vs wtf. Los que hacemos TAEKWON-DO ITF usamos los puños sea a la cara o a la zona media. Quiero creer que eso fue un show. Y antes de irme aclarar que solo hay 1 Taekwon-do y es el ITF. EL ORIGINAL, el que creo el general Choi Hong Hi.

??: Renewal Taekwondo.....Triple kick!

I am so happy to choose ITF Taekwondo. :D

I do ITF and my instructor would never let me spar with my hands down like that...

ITF is pure original TKD

I trained kyokushin karate for 18 years, and boxing for 8 years. For 3 years I trained ITF tkd to spice up my foot techiqes. With kyo backgrounds itf tkd with boxing are a good choice. Last year a went back to the kyo dojo and started to train at an mma gym. I very thankful for itf, it helped me a lot, to land various kick combinations, I blowed my kyo training partners mind. And itf has more punches which are helpful. Never underestimate punching, if you're trying to win in a k1 or mma match.

I've trained ITF and WTF. And certainly can say ITF is much much better. But I have to say on ITF version I've been trained by Korean. It was much more than full contact. We trained how to use TKD on a street. We used throws, grapplings, punches and kicks. I've been on one tournament and I've broke a nose to the guy with punch. And also, unfortunately, I used it on a street as a defence, and it was very successfully. On WTF we were trained only for tournaments. There were no creativity. And we were equipped with full armor. On ITF we had only gloves. No halmets and other stuff. Also on WTF we had semi contact trainings. When I came on my first WTF training, and when they saw my skills they put me in the best group and sad to me that they have plans for me, and I will be very successefull in TKD. They wanted me to go on tournaments. And that was not the reason why I trained TKD. I trained for a few years and I stopped just because I never learned something new on WTF. So if you're training or you have trained ITF, and it is semi or no contact, than it is not ITF. ITF is much harder than WTF. ITF is a martial art, and WTF is just a sport. And I had a chance to prove the power of ITF on the street many times, and also I had a chance to compare it.

bah, for me it's still taekwondo, ITF or WTF alike! And Taekwondo is just too cool :3!

Both are very good fighters, I've studied both ITF and WTF, both have their advantages and disadvantages, depends on the fighter, timing, experience, etc, rules only come into effect when both are evenly matched. Great sparring.

Y'all gotta kill this cognitive bias between WTF & ITF. Both systems are different but neither is greater than the other. We gotta acknowledge that both systems aren't the total package in the world of Martial Arts and Fighting Sport. My foundation is WTF, but I acknowledge it's weakness and train in other disciplines to be more complete as I possible can.

I love how all the ITF elitists are acting like an ITF guy would stomp a WTF guy in an ITF match.

It´s that in Dublin??

I practiced WTF for 7 years, I'm 3rd Kup... I had some interruptions so I got a bit late, I could be 1st Kup xD. Whatever, since I moved of my country, 3 years ago I stopped practicing, and now I want back in... But I'm woundering if I should keep on WTD cause I'm experient or if I should try something new, like WTF... And will I lose my belt? Opinions? Answers? :D

I've done both most of my life but decided to stay ITF. For the more traditional approach ive studied boxing and some karate also its true WTF is more about the points but they also teach good self defence the kicks are technical but if the practitioner gets caught up in the points aspect when in a real fight they may loose because of the fancy points kicks. A lot of ITF schools don't teach the same kicking stategies or allow you to compete in many hard-full contact events but i have. ITF is more simular to Karate in my opinion the techniques are more focused towards stopping a fight instead of continuous sparing (wtf) the reason for the chest pad is the kicks aren't held back so its a protection thing if Itf didn't make you to learn to control your power while sparing people would get hurt. ITF full contact hurts if your not ready for it. they both teach tenants of TKD embrace both learn from each other

There is no wtf vs itf. Just a competition between two fighters (each one from different styles) under WTF rules. After WTF inserted its system into the olympic games, this art became to collapse. How do you think you may defeat your adversary using just your feet? There is gap since the creation of TKD as a martial art and present knowledge... TKD was developed to be a complete system of training using your arms and feet. The stress on using the feet was just provide the fighter with an extra combat tool at long distance fighting. Nowadays I see no use of bare hands for boxing or grappling techniques. Every Poomsae stress the need to use this. There several ways to hit using fingers (sonkut), bare hand (son), fist (chumok), elbow (palmuk) in different combination to provide the fighter with several fighting techniques for close combat...

Best bout I’ve seen in ages

Fue una muy buena pelea de los dos chicos. Es el mejor video de wtf vs itf que se puede ver en la web hoy. La tecnica de cada uno es muy prolija y el estilo bien actualizado.

aguante el ITF 💜❤❤👂

I am the only that come here cause God of high school?

Competition is healthy and provides learning opportunities. Respect 🙏

Gracias por compartir don Vincent, estuvo interesante 😁

Listen, I train wtf and all itf defendants are saying that it's incomplete and arms should be allowed etc. No technical punching actually happens in itf it's just some ridiculous arm swinging that has no impact. Either way, both are an effective form of self defence. No street fighter will expect a head kick and that's it.

to be honest i like the video but i dont like comparing the 2 main styles they are just effective in their own way

Are they like having a banquet or party beside?

My question is what were the rules to their matches because ITF uses more of the Korean Kickboxing Art off Punches and Kicks

It is NEVER the style, it is always the practitioner.

Me gustaria ver el mismo combate con reglas itf

what I personally found a bit shitty in ITF was, many did box and then came in TKD. Allways tryed to getting you in a short distance to make KO. With ITF I have only one question, what we does, kickboxing or taekwon-do? So definitely WTF did it well.

This is definetly WTF rules. Whenever they get close, they hug each other... But anyways, respect for those fighters

I'm happy to be in WTF taekwondo

ITF: Effectiveness ... WTF: Agileness, will be amazing if they are combined

very good tehnique..used to train WTF...like your foot abillity. My favourite foot kick is spidjo čagi:)what is your specialty? like for TKD:)

can someone explain me the rules in WTF and ITF?....because i'm in MGTF(malaysia)

Taekwondo WTF:azul Taekwondo ITF :rojo

Protegen mucho al de WTF, si fueran reglas de ITF, no hubiese aguantado el azul

Now I want to see them fight in a street fight rules(but using tae kwon do ofc)

Can anybody tell me were can i learn ITF i live in texas,currently i am learning WTF, i am yellow belt and i am really wanting to learn ITF as it seems more better

Me encanta wtf porque son puras patadas y mucha velocidad y agilidad. Muy Ninjas 👍

suerte que el de itf no puede usar manos xdd

I am a little confused, why is he allowed to fight without foot gaurds?? is this a wtf thing? (not done taekwondo for that long)

Started WTF a few weeks back to add to my karate regime but it's too sport like lol

It must be uncomfortable for the ITF practicioner to make the sparring with that breastplate.

Si estan combatiendo con las reglas WT claramente ITF tendra desventajas, ya que utilizan mas los puños en zonas altas y medias, mas altas que nada, me atreveria a decir que usan 45% puños y el resto pateos, golpean de otra manera, debio ser con reglas ITF y WT aprender a bloquear mas la cabeza. PD: Practico WT, trato de defender lo justo

I currently do the WTF type of Taekwondo and I’m looking forward to sparring with an ITF with ITF rules. Maybe someday...

andito ba si sir mario? hahah I knew u r a Filipino maybe? I heared some tagalog in the video

Ay varias diferencias en el momento del combate entre itf y wtf quizás eso le juega en contra al itf

wow very good game and Red,Blue player respectbut... i think this fight rule is WTF taekwondo.so this game is advantage blue player.. Don`t u think so?i think WTF taekwondo is sports. ITF taekwondo is fight.if rule change the ITF , WTF taekwondo must loose..( i think!!!!!!!!)because WTF Kick = just point not Attack..im Korean taekwondo teacher..(WTF teacher)many people say taekwondo is just kickin... no.. never...use hand, finger, knee, elbow.. a lot of body move..but many old man secret history and change..very confuse :

Can i use this video??😄😄😄👍👍😀😀😍😍😉

the two styles are beautiful

ahahahahah! next video suld be ju do vs TKD WTF under WTF rules.

blue guy calls a point after falling flat on his face? wtf is up with that lol

i enjoy that both were being aggresive and attacking and countering instead of dancing around

Anyone know which one's which style? I'm guessing red is WTF, blue is IT, yeah?

ITF FTW

Tae kwon do is the art of foot and hand not the art of foot

What is the difference between ITF & Wtf

what color is wtf and itf? someone can explain me the difference please I had practise ITF in 2000 and don't remember

I have watched many fights for both WTF and ITF fighting other martial arts like Karate. I have never seen ITF showing the real skill of Tae Kwon Do in real fights other than throwing punches that don't even have impact on the opponent

gano el peleador de wtf fue señalado

How come the wtf lad keeps getting points when he kicks and falls

which is itf ? blue or red ?

You guys forget that there's more to WTF than just kicking. Sparring isn't the whole martial art. In a sparring match there are rules that you must follow, the biggest difference between ITF and WTF Tkd sparring matches is that you can punch. In a real street fight a WTF fighter (like me) could easily dominate others when using self defense techniques and punches. WTF also uses punches a lot just not in the sparring part. That's the difference, the actual techniques are very similar since they both just branch off one another so the only real difference are the sparring RULES.

My fav part 5:18

finally, some clean TKD

It was in New Zealand ?

in my Opinion WTF have more amazing Strong kick and speed :) BTW hi guys i learn WTF taekwondo in indonesia !!!. what about you guys WTF or ITF ?

Wtf rules, the Itf fighter can't block or punch to the face... it's like challenging a fish in water (Tkd Itf red belt by the way)

Itf guy most likely agreed to fight in he’s rules. Hats off to both guys for training hard and sparring one another

That’s awesome, now they should have ATA vs WTF, or ATA vs ITF, they’re all Taekwondo, it’s good to see practitioners from both TKD here together, is there other TKD organizations I think one is USATF

ITF is original TKD

ITF is red

No victory no defeat the survivor will carry the title of boss.

5:19 that back kick was insane 😮

El competidor de WTF es superior en todo sentido, el de ITF solo abanicaba su pierna delantera mientras el otro le conectaba patadas potentes inclusive al rostro y cabeza. WTF gana!!

Itf is the real taekwondo. wtf is what happens the government get involved

The god of high school RE...

Seems to me that they fight based on WTF rules, which would mean that this is not WTF vs ITF. It would just be ITF practitioners doing WTF.

WTF rules.

As a WTF Taekwondo athlete, this has got to be the most jank fight I've ever seen.

Which one is the itf and which one is the wtf

I always see heaps of ITF Guy's fighting in WTF Tournaments, and doing reasonably well. I haven't found to Many WTF Guy's fighting in ITF Tournaments though. I could be wrong.
