Taekwondo includes many different techniques. Theres a half dozen basic kicks, and several types of punches and open-hand techniques. There's even some grappling, even though most dojangs don't teach it. You have even more techniques if your instructor has cross-trained.
However, in WTF sparring, all you use are roundhouse kick, back kick, crescent kick, hook kick, and pushing kicks.
Other combat sports use less protective gear and Llow more techniques. Is WTF Taekwondo too restrictive? Or is it good that it focuses on kicks?
Do you prefer the rules from another TKD organization? What would be your rules for TKD sparring?
