I didn't see this topic in the forum yet, but I apologize in advance if it's already been addressed...
I have a conceptual and practical question, both on the topic of politics and martial arts training.
Conceptual: What do folks think about the relationship of martial arts traning and politics (not politics between school members but US/State government politics). The organization I trained with up to 1st Dan actively and publicly supports congress persons whose politics I cannot support. I'm considering withdrawing my membership formally (haven't been training in years, so it wouldn't be a major change...would just make a point).
Practical: Does anyone know of a Tang Soo Do organization that is politics-free (i.e., the federation does not support any political officers or candidates)?
Thanks
