With so many styles out on the market in these days, I have noticed a trend and would like everybodies opinion on it. Many yrs ago I studied some TKD and every body had to learn the terminology in Korean, a few yrs after that I trained in Shorin Ryu and we learned Okinawan terminology, that to me was par for the course. Now adays it hard to find a school that uses the traditional terminology for the basics in the originating language. Yes they all count from 1 to 10 in class, but that is susally as far as it goes. I am wondering if anyone sees a problem with this. should people still have to learn a foriegn language to study some styles, or is it a bad thing to do because it frustrates people and they end up leaving class because they came to learn to defend themselves not come for language classes. I will wait for a few replies before I give my opinion on this.
