Taekwondo The Brand Name

Taekwondo is an umbrella name for a variety of traditional Korean systems as well as a modern style,"World Taekwondo", which emphasizes Olympic sport competition and uses a standardized form set called "Taeguek Poomse".  

The International Taekwondo Federation considers itself more traditional and carries on the teachings of General Choi Hong Hi.

The ATA or American Taekwondo Association is now the single largest centrally located Taekwondo association with branch international affiliation.

Original forms resemble Korean Karate and more clearly show the influence of Japanese and Chinese martial arts systems.  Such arts are MooDukKwan, ChungDoKwan, JiDoKwan, sometimes called Tang Soo Do.  While some school owners chose to evolve and adopt the modern Olympic Taekwondo elements, others did not.  There are schools who choose to teach both traditional and modern Taekwondo, sometimes referring to themselves as Traditional Taekwondo or MooDukKwan Taekwondo or MooDukKwan TangSooDo Taekwondo.  

To date there are numerous systems and expressions of Taekwondo because school owners have their own unique experiences and develop the curriculum independantly of their affiliations.
