I left TKD because when people asked "what if this happens?"they were either.1 Not answered
2 Ridiculed
3 Shown something that obviously would not work or
4 Encoraged not to ask questions and to just beleive what was taught.

Also the techniques that were taught had 2 different variations 1 for practice the other for sparring.Why bother learning one way only to discard it and use something else when the fighting starts?Does not make sense and because i and other questioned this we are trouble makers?No we only want to know why we are doing this or that so that we can defend our selves if we have to.
