I am very picky when it comes to patterens as my head instructor received his first dan from General Choi and is now a 7th dan and still teaches the same patteren he was taught
About a year ago, I ran accross some footage of Jhoon Rhee doing this very form. His stances were way wider. His executions are flawless and he is of the Choi school (their particular forms). I'll see if I can track it down.

It's kind of ironic, if I remember correctly, one of the opening moves in Choi's Tae Kwon Do forms symbolize peace. Here we have a martial brother seeking our help, and yet all some, who supposedly practice Choi version forms, all they can do is criticize or make excuses for not helping one of their own. Not very admirable.

Mike, for what it's worth, I want to thank you for how consistently you come through in these types of things for others you don't even know.
