Hi Kelly-

Our school is part of the ITF branch, but we use a different belt system and do our forms in a traditional karate style. And our sparring is strictly non-contact.

Here's a link to my current form:
YouTube - Joon Gun Hyung

Our sparring is a bit different from what people generally associate with TKD - no big red or blue targets on our chests. One minute straight of jumping kicks is pretty tough right now - two minutes at black belt level. Yikes - I'm still a ways away from that test though - I'm at 4th kup, which in our system is 2nd degree purple.
