DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE WTF AND ITF

by Brian

My son is currently taking ITF (punches,sparring,form, kicks and blocks)and is also learning weapons and self defense forms as part of each belt. He is now a green belt. So far about 2-3 months before advancing belts.

My brothers kids are taking WTF and seem to be advancing faster in the belt ranks. But they only practice form, kicks, punches and sparring. No weapons or self defense. And test every month for the next belt.

Why such a big difference in time for belts.

What are the different belt ranks and colors for each?
