In Taekwondo it seems as though traditional conditioning techniques have disappeared. Even though I use it, and others in my organization do, the use of the makiwara or kwon go seems to be something left in the past. Other conditioning techniques still used frequently in Karate have disappeared from Taekwondo. Only a very limited amount of practitioners go through these body hardening training methods such as He Il Cho, for example. How come these types of training have been abandoned? Karateka seem to continue using these traditional training methods very effectively even today.
