For the Global Traditional Taekwondo Federation (GTTF) It is more important to preserve the forgotten values of traditional Taekwondo than style or system.
The form of Taekwondo taught in the dojang may be different. The rules of sparring may also be different. However, what will not change is the spirit of Taekwondo that has been passed down from generation to generation. The spirit of Taekwondo is to train the body and mind to cultivate people who are indispensable in this society. The GTTF want to focus on fulfilling the fundamental purpose of Taekwondo training for the majority Taekwondo population, rather than for talented individuals of a small percentage to go to the Olympics.
GTTF wants to be with the mother Taekwondo organization Kukkiwon. This is because Kukkiwon plays the role of the parents in Taekwondo. Parents are responsible for preserving the discipline of Taekwondo, guiding Taekwondo people to the right path, and maintaining and developing the roots of Taekwondo that have been passed down from generation to generation. The GTTF, want to preserve discipline stronger than Kukkiwon, guide Taekwondo people to the right path more strongly, and maintain and develop the roots of Taekwondo that have been passed down from generation to generation with more strength.
GTTF is a neo-classic Taekwondo group that protects the forgotten values and techniques of traditional Taekwondo and seeks to strengthen and develop them. GTTF aims to be a Martial Art Taekwondo that goes beyond the sparring and poomsae competition commonly seen in Modern Day Sport Taekwondo. The mental attitude of the practitioner takes precedence over the scoring system seen in the game. Self-defense, breaking, and Taekwondo etiquette are also important virtues of training. Poomsae (form) training aims to capture the spirit of mental and physical cultivation based on solid fundamentals, Gyeoroogi (sparring) emphasizes the harmony of strength and speed, Hosinsool (self-defense)can be used on the street and hone the skills accordingly, and Kyukpa (breaking) trains the body and mind to concentrate the body and mind to produce formidable power, and it is a traditional Taekwondo organization that places great importance on the character and etiquette of Taekwondo people.
