Hehe - Even then, look at how varied KKW TKD can be.Daniel, when you say - "Given that taekwondo has been codified in pretty much its current form for over forty five years", what do you see as it's current form? I only ask because if there's one thing Ive started to realise about tkd over the last few years, its that tkd is just such a vague term. I mean, what the kukkiwon does compared to what itf does compared to how my club trains just seems very varied, and the more 'club demos' Im seeing around the place just drives this home further. Im not objecting to your statement, Im just curious as to what you see tkd's current form to be. Or are you speaking soley about kukkiwon tkd?
Same Organisation. Extremely different outcomes. Of course, there are surely better examples. But YOU go try and find WTF Beginners (Anything else tends to be Highlight Reels or Best Matches, and so forth) to pick out obvious Training Outcomes from.
The ITF is the same. Heck, Id go so far as to say that just about any MA will have this Trait, no matter what. The outcomes wont be consistent all round.
