Default I Second That!

Dear Sir,

Do to political strife, many instructors have moved from one organization to another. Some have formed their own small organizations, and some are completely independent.

These men made the choices they made to suit them and benefit their students (at least most). The instructors age versus where he or she learned TKD will speak the most as to their curricullum influences!

Just for instance, my instructor holds certificates from the Oh Do Kwan, ITF, Kukkiwon, and KTA (before the inception of the Kukkiwon).

However, his primary instruction was during war and received from the Oh Do Kwan. He (some 35+ years later) still teaches the traditional combat art as instructed by the Oh Do Kwan...while including some progressive changes instituted by the ITF...

This is how/what he learned and what he teaches today!

TAEKWON!
