MichiganTKD,
The fact that your GM wore a different dobok, does that not concern you regarding the direction of TKD. I only say this because the philosophy behind the white dobok and the lapel trim are the traditional aspects of the art. The sport side has dispensed with these traditions, much like karate and sport karate, where flashy colours and even balck doboks have been worn.
I am not saying it is wrong to change the dobok or to progress, however with TKD in the state it is at present, do you think that the traditions of the MA TKD will be lost in this current shake up and with a lot of the founders of the different kwans now gone???
