International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) was founded in 1966 by Major General Choi Hong Hi six years before his exile from South Korea in 1972 and seven years before the WTF. His first visit of good will to North Korea was in 1980, when he introduced Taekwon-Do there. It is one the two major international Taekwon-Do organisations, the other being the public Olympic International Federation called World Taekwondo Federation or WTF. The WTF though only operates competitions and has nothing to do with curriculum. For that, the WTF only recognizes the Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo Headquarters). General Choi was the primary figure in the development of Taekwon-Do during the 20th century and headed meetings with the senior Taekwon-Do masters to unify a large number of the Korean martial arts schools under the name Taekwon-Do. He is also responsible for providing Taekwon-Do with its name which was agreed upon on April 11th, 1955. He is acknowledged by practitioners of ITF Taekwon-Do as the founder and father of Taekwon-Do.

It depends on the person, not the style. ITF actually allows punches to the face, something that is MUCH more conducive to actual self-defense. Only allowing punching to the body restricts the fighter in an actual combat situation. If they've been taught not to hit the face when free sparring, they instinctively won't after years of conditioning to that rule, and it will inhibit the way they protect themselves.

they are the same in that they are both sports. they are different in that only one of them can be applied in combat.
