But that's just the point I was getting at earlier, E. Terry's SD curriculum has nothing at all to do with what's coming out, or what came out, of the KKW. The KKW part of his program is just about his sparring and forms competitors.
If that's the case, then his arguments against my statements don't make any sense.
Either he's defending Kukki Taekwondo or he's not.
There are institutional changes in the wind which are going to lead to a major split within TKD in the next few years, as the inevitable result of the KKW's attempt to drive the technical development of TKD in a very different direction from what most practitioners—who do not have either the capability for, or interest in, becoming athletic competitors in sport TKD—really want. It's going to happen and it's going to happen soon, just as the 'applied karate' movement associated with the bunkai-based view of karate forms and the British Combat Association approach to stress-testing MA effectiveness is the most rapidly growing component of karate in England. They're a bit ahead of us there but we'll catch up. Meanwhile, I think it's a major mistake to see schism and division where people are in fact actually of the same mind...
I'll believe it when I see it.
