Style / system: ITF (Traditional) — based on the school's own site and student reviews. Taekwondo systems (Olympic/World Taekwondo, ITF, and ATA/Songahm) differ in forms, sparring rules, and tournaments; if lineage matters to you, confirm it with the school. ATA vs WT vs ITF, explained →
Affiliated school — reviews and the school's own info point to a recognized taekwondo organization or franchise (think ATA Martial Arts, Kukkiwon certification, World Taekwondo, or ITF).

From the reviews
Baltimore Taekwon-Do is the number 1 Taekwon-Do place in Catonsville. Looking for ITF? Look no further. Mr. Dan and Ms. Patricia teach a comprehensive program here. They believe in bringing all aspects of the art into each and every class. Looking for tournament training or just to get better?
Mr. Dan De Armas and his staff are very strong educators. They take the time to make the children and students feel good about their accomplishments but, never lose focus on greater plan. They push for an open mind and diligence.
My daughters and I went to the Self Defense class for women here. Absolutely wonderful. Dan was an incredible coach and the entire class was well paced and incredibly informative. I would recommend to anyone!
Our family has had a great experience here. Excellent instructors and fun community! My son has grown so much physically and emotionally through his experiences here!
Your first taekwondo class at Baltimore Taekwon-Do
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
