Hi, my name is Spanky. I'm here to chew bubblegum and bash Taekwondo. And I'm all outta bubble gum!

Our system is only 3 generations old. It is already an amalgamation of many different techniques from four or five root arts.
We are constantly (at the instructor level) trying out new things, new variations on an old theme and generally experimenting. However, changes to the core art are slow. This is as it should be.
Our style is reduced down to simple techniques and simple principles. The 'advanced' levels are nothing more than combinations of these foundational concepts towards more 'interesting' situations.
The two lead instructors (the respective 'Grandmaster' and 'Master') of our lineage are in constant contact and evaluate how the curriculum is managed. Funny thing is, we only have two schools nationwide, and each one is significantly different than the other. So yes, we are evolving, but we shy away from incorporating the latest and greatest just because...
And as I say 'we' I mean 'they' as I am a nobody in the grand scheme of things.
