I've seen quite a bit of good discussion lately on what and how various arts teach in their curriculum. I thought it would make for an interesting thread in regards to the specifics of your TKD curriculum. TKD of course has various organizations of varying size and focus. And of course we have many independent dojangs and those that could be considered hybrid with other arts as well.
- What is the focus of your particular dojang and/or organization to which you may belong (Are you more oriented towards a sport focus or towards self-defense or is there a mix)?
- Is your dojang considered by you and/or the instructor as strictly TKD or is it a hybrid with something else (and if so, what).
- Do you include things like locks, chokes, throws, balance displacement, cavity pressing, misplacing the bone/tendons, sealing the breath or arteries?
- Do you feel your TKD is complete? Would there be something you'd add (or delete) if you could?
- What level of conditioning do you do in training? Any hard-body conditioning?
