r/taekwondo

ITF Taekwondoin here. Been training for quite a while and was considering giving Kukkiwon style a shot mostly because I want to keep learning things differently.

A friend has told me that I don't need to grade in WT due to me having an extensive background in ITF and Karate as it is and that my ITF belt will transfer over to Kukkiwon/WT. That I can just learn the Poomsae on Youtube and be done with it. But I personally disagree.

Would just like to know in your opinions, would it be worth cross training both styles of TKD? If so or not, why?
