ITF is International Tae kwon do Federation and WTF is World Tae kwon do Federation. WTF is the olympic style. It's a lot more contact, in ITF you can loose points in a tournament for hitting too hard, in WTF you win points if you knock them out and gain points if they need to an 8 second count. ITF you are alowed to punch to the head and do jumping backfists and the like to the head, WTF you can't. Most people in WTF would call those cheap shots. Anyways I say WTF all the way.
