Does Hwoarang really do Tae Kwon Do?
Hwoarang is a fictional Korean character in the Tekken game series. The game character's martial art movements are based on the Taekwon-Do as taught in the International Taekwondo Federation (ITF) with variations for the purpose of the game. The pattern of pre-arranged movements he performs was taken from ITF TUL (ITF Pattern). The techniques were also taken from ITF. The motion capture was performed by Taekwon-Do ITF practitioner name Hwang Su Il (a member of JITF/Japan International Taekwon-Do Federation). The dobok (uniform) is also based on ITF dobok with several modification to suit the game. (see related link below)
What is taekwondo jungshin?
In the Korean language, the term Jung shin (정신) means "Spirit." Some people in the field of Taekwondo have interpreted this in general to mean having a "Healthy Spirit." Others have attributed it to the specific teaching of a set of rules of conduct for daily life, known as "tenets." Specifically, within the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) founded by General Hong-Hi Choi, the standard 5 tenets are "Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control, and Indomitable Spirit." These same tenets are often shared and taught in other Taekwondo schools and organizations that are not directly affiliated with the ITF, and the exact number or wording of the tenets might vary. The term "Jungshin" has also been used by some schools as a name for their specific branch or curriculum, for teaching the art of Taekwondo - - most commonly one of ITF affiliation. There is a group of ITF affiliated schools in South Africa who claim this term which their website states was founded in 2004. Another group in New Zealand uses the term Jungshin while claiming to teach the "ITF style" but are also under the heading of the International Taekwondo Foundation of New Zealand (ITFNZ). For these two groups, it seems to be a catchphrase to represent a philosophy of teaching morality as the core principles of both Taekwon-Do instruction and way of life. (see related links below)
How many federations of Tae Kwon Do are there?
There are many, many Taekwondo organizations that are labeled as "federations," "associations," or "unions," and any of those that are legitimate can trace their lineage back to one of the original Kwans (A Kwan is school or family of schools under one leader - the Kwanjang). The first official Kwan was the Chung Do Kwan, established by Won-Kuk Lee in 1944. Taekwondo began by uniting the various schools of Korean Martial Art in Post World War II Korea which were known as Kwans. The first official Taekwondo organization established in 1961 was named the Korea Taekwondo Association (KTA) The Korean government ordered that nine primary Kwans be recognized, numbered, and then merged into the KTA with a 10th Administrative Kwan. One pioneer of Taekwondo, Korean General Hong-Hi Choi, founder of the military Oh Do Kwan, was permitted to establish the International Taekwondo Federation (ITF) in Korea, but was later forced out, and moved his organization to Canada. It spread worldwide from there, but after his death, the organization splintered with at least three groups claiming to be the duly authorized successor of the ITF name. The Kukkiwon building was built in Korea to house the National Taekwondo Acadamy, and the offices of the KTA, and the Korean Olympic Committee. The World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) was also established, originally as a link from foriegn countries to Taekwondo credentials in Korea. However, the duties of the WTF were shifted solely to be a sports governing body, and has nothing to do with the teaching of Taekwondo, nor the promotion of ranks in either color belt geup (grade), or Black Belt Dan (Degree). Unlike the ITF, the WTF has never had its own curriculum for teaching Taekwondo or promoting students, and you can not join the WTF or become a member as a student or school. In virtually every country around the world, Taekwondo organizations have sprung up, either as approved efforts of renowned Taekwondo Masters, or unauthorized creations of independent instructors. Some national associations and federations are recognized by the WTF as member National Assoiciations for sport purposes, and are authorized by the Olympic Committee in each nation. The WTF is the only organization recognized by the International Olympic Commitee (IOC), but that is because the only purpose of the WTF is regulating the sport aspect of Taekwondo. Other associations and federations might have member schools and instructors who participate in Taekwondo competitions, but also provide instruction in Taekwondo as a Martial Art. Some examples are: ITF - International Taekwondo Federation USAT - USA Taekwondo (Member National Association for WTF in the U.S.) USTF - United States Taekwondo Federation USNTF - United States National Taekwondo Federation USCDKA - United States Chung Do Kwan Association ATA - American Taekwondo Assoicaition STF - Songahm Taekwondo Federation (offshoot of the ATA) AFT - Afghan Taekwondo Federation BUTF - British United Taekwondo Federation ETU - European Taekwondo Union UITF - Unified International Taekwondo Federation HTF - Hwarang Taekwondo Federation and the list goes on and on....

Which follows the real Tae Kwon Do ITF or WTF?
There really isn't a 'real' Tae Kwon Do. Taekwondo is derived from the ancient Korean fighting techniques and was influenced by both Chinese and Japanese Martial Art systems over centuries of development - - with most modern changes coming about in the mid 20th Century. The ITF, and the WTF are not comparable since they are not the same thing. The International Taekwondo Federation (ITF) is a "Kwan" (family of schools under the direction of one founder), which was started by General Choi Hong Hi, who had formerly taught the Korean Military in his Oh Do Kwan system. There were many Kwans in post WWII Korean, the first official Kwan being the Chung Do Kwan, founded in 1944 by Won Kuk Lee. The main Kwans were united in the Korea Taekwondo Association, the numbered and officially dissolved (although they are still actively promoting their own Kwan systems today). From the KTA in South Korea, the Kukkiwon building (world headquarters) was built. The WTF was created, not as an instructional institution, but as a link between Korea and foreign countries for Black Belt, and Instructor certification as well as sport competition rules. In more recent years, the mandate of the WTF has been split to just oversee the sport aspect of Taekwondo (including Olympic Taekwondo), and the rank certificates are obtainable directly through the Kukkiwon. The WTF does not teach a Taekwondo curriculum, nor do they deal with rank promotions from white belt on up. The WTF is made up of national Member Associations the regulate the sport in each country. Kukki Taekwondo is the official curriculum of Korean Taekwondo at the Kukkiwon in Seoul Korea. All other associations and variations are personal preferences of individual instructors, and constitute a Kwan or independent school or association. Most legitimate Taekwondo practitioners can trace their lineage back to one of the 5 original Kwans of 1955.
