Nice to see another person from the Sceptred Isle here on MT. For quite a while now it's been just me and Tez, so another Limey in the mix is most welcome ..
Hey,
Wow! Sounds great. A few times I attended an Olympic training session and it was pretty intense!
Well, be sure & rest up, recover fast.
Yea sometimes I still practice the poomsae from ITF & WTF, but in the ITF. I only made it to wonhyo (probably my favorite itf form) and Koryo (favorite wtf form)
As far as only legs, I think it varies based on dojang. But in the Olympics I was always told you score more for kicks than punches so they specialize in that area.
I remember some of the training sessions we would only be allowed to use legs except to block (of course)
