With many ITF organization that are active at the moment one can have problems to determine who is original or who is real. Having in mind last word of Gen. Choi (if those are authentically transferred to the World) ITF organization with HQ in Austria leaded by prof dr Chang Ung is the original one. But since gen Choi passed away many important moments have changed the history of this organization. Some important people, pioneers of Taekwon-do, left this organization which brought the ITF Vienna in the situation where they lost their authenticity. Last important person who left this ITF is definitely GM Rhee Ki Ha. Loosing FGMR Rhee is definitely  worst thing that could happen to ITF HQ Vienna and since that moment the authentic ITF Taekwon-do moved to another place.

Prof dr Chang Ung doesn’t have anything to do with Taekwon-do and his role is only political. But even in this role he went very far away from Gen Choi’s idea of One Taekwon-do. Looks like that this person is responsable for unsuccessful negotiation with WTF and other ITF fractions. Of course he represents DPR’s political system and that is where all is being decided and it is easy to understand those decision having in mind the politics of DPR.

But it is still hard to understand why other countries representatives are keeping this situation going on even if it is not favourable both for their members and for ITF as a movement. Therefore it is easy to divide  the responsibility for bad things in this ITF organization between leadership and members.

From the other side ITF leaded by GM Tran at the beginning and Mr Trajtenberg actually is growing up as a modern organization but still attached to the certification business. They are developing a sport side of ITF Taekwon-do too but are still stitched to the tradition of ITF as a martial art school.

Third fraction leaded by GM Choi Jung Hwa according to the last information approached to FGMR Rhee Ki Ha and this was definitely the best decision they ever made. That is how they empowered themselves but ITF TAO TRADITIONAL was empowered too. Several instructors directly connected to Gen Choi are representing ITF TAO TRADITIONAL at this time and that is why my conclusion will be that this is the only organization that can be considered as authentic, original and real ITF Taekwon-do organization. Last move towards ITF HQ Korea will ensure a strong leading position for this ITF organization in the near future.
