We're CDK (with Ch'ang Hon forms), we have a pretty strong Shotokan influence in our school. My instructor started out in Shotokan, his wife is Shotokan...
Ill just remind you to Remember that this is Subjective - To Who is Instructing the TKD, and How it is being Instructed. In your Instance, this is likely Accurate.
Just Remember not to Generalise![]()
Id recommend specifying that in future, as TKD is a Martial Art, and just about all of us on here Train that side of it. And if you re-read your Statement, you may be able to see how that could be negatively interprited.You are correct, It is MY Opinion of TKD as taught mostly as a sport not an art. The art can be useful, however in my area I see a lot of sport trainning facilities, not school that teach the art of TKD.
Hi I'm just wondering for the TKD schools out there, how many are just pure TKD only. And how many have mixed, where there may be TKD+Kickboxing, or TKD+Hapkido, or other combination.
If your school has opened doors to other arts, is there any specific reason?
Wow! Have you been to korea? Europe? How about mexico? Tkd is both a sport and martial art. Purists will say: "Those itf guys can't fight" or "those wtf guys keep dropping their hands". Get over it already. Almost all tkd schools outside the us are wtf style and they train hard. Forms, sparring, drills, one steps (useless in my opinion) and self defense.You are correct, It is MY Opinion of TKD as taught mostly as a sport not an art. The art can be useful, however in my area I see a lot of sport trainning facilities, not school that teach the art of TKD.
Hi everyone.
... I believe it's difficult for him to give deeper martial art-oriented classes, coz most people unfortunately aren't interested on that.
