Hello,
I train in a modern sports oriented WT/WTF dojang, but my personal interest is more in Traditional Taekwondo as it was practiced by the original 9 Kwans before the unification. We do include one-step sparring and forms, plus my instructor lets me spar using traditional techniques outside either the Olympic or AAU Point Sparring rule set, such as knuckle punches, knife hand, spear hand, etc. These three things do a pretty good job of keeping it old school, imho, but I'm curious to see if anyone else has any further suggestions, or has been in the same situation and how they dealt with it.
Thank you.
