Some of the forms and one step sparring techniques have changed.

The only things I've seen are certain steps in the forms, and 3- steps (similar to one steps- we don't do one- steps though). No big changes.

For us, the method of teaching (Chayon-Ryu "Natural Way" method) has improved.

My training has gotten less...shall I say, intense. Back in the early 80's when I started, class was 2 or 2 1/2 hours long (Now only an hour) & we did basics for the 1st hour & forms & sparring the remaining time. I doubt few students (teens like I was) would want to do that now. I miss it, but I don't know if I could do it now, myself.

more intensive drills, harder sparring, more teaching, ect it seems there more exprience we recieve the more our instructer pushes us.

Recently (w/in the last year) started training (from time to time) with my old TKD instructor in my old home-town. There are some differences, all of the old Hyung are in there, but there are some new ones too. Some of the self-defense skills taught are different (Reflecting my instructors pref. to cross-train) and the variety of Types of sparring is MUCH better. (the school does Point, continuous...and others.....but NO Olympic Crap)

I enjoy it.
I mostly do it just for Kicks.
Still predominantly practice Kenpo.
