What's with the ITF these days?
Been doing some research and I wondered if there is a reunification in sight? Is any one of the three more legitimate than the others?

One of the three being what? Are you referring to "styles" of taekwondo??? Like WTF, ITF, ATA? I am so out of the loop that it is ridiculous, but it sounds interesting if anyone with more knowledge can comment on it...

Well, when Gen Choi passed, the ITF split into three factions. I'm not sure of the details, really, but I'm in the process of researching it.

IMHO, it's not going to get any better. Eventually, one of the three will win a lawsuit requiring the other two to take a new name. The problem with this is that with so many TKD associations, all of the good names are taken...
