Can you explain this since ITF rules since 1974 have been "Continuous".. And we do stop in ITF too, just not instantly.

I wish I knew if you were being deliberately obtuse or if you truly have a comprehension problem. To claim that any sort of "Open" championship where various stylists are present and competing somehow reflects a single style or system show a fundamental lack of comprehension, which could be attributable to a lack of familiarity with the terminology particularly since it does not say "National Championship" as you misstated.You left out "Tang So Do" championship.
You are not allowed to punch more than two times in succession.Can you explain this since ITF rules since 1974 have been "Continuous".

When I purchased my 2nd strip mall (where my GM's building is) we changed the name to Shin's Martial Arts. At that time, we also had two other schools in joining counties and 2 other classes in local gyms. Branding was a big reason but MA's being a more general term makes it a more accurate name.Out of interest have you renamed that school now as Taekwondo has become a much more widely known term? Or if it's closed down and new ones opened, did you continue calling them Karate or switch to using Taekwondo?
Oh I remember you. Aren’t you the brown belt or some such who likes to tell everyone they are doing it wrong?And yes, I am Acronym.

Please cite a source for this. It has been a while -2004 I believe since I judged an ITF International competition and no such rule existed at that time.You are not allowed to punch more than two times in succession.

Sorry to jump in but no matter who your instructor is, if you claim the whole style has a particular thing/rule/detail you need to cite an authoritative source not just "my instructor says so".The source is my school under Yeo Chin Huat. Two punches at most, then you have to throw a kick or stop. Kicks can be thrown infinitely.

Sorry, must have missed the memo as to when your school set the standard for the ITF. while your instructor may be well regarded concerning his role in the ITF, and have good reason for his rules, school rules are just that, nothing more.The source is my school under Yeo Chin Huat.

Because your claim of what ITF sparring is or what TSD sparring is cannot be supported by what some instructor chooses to do.Why wouldn't school rules be relevant to the discussion? Most people will never compete. Their experience will be the schools curriculum.
I liked Mr. Gillis book a lot. However I did send a critique to him. I don't know if any of that served as a basis for any revisions in the second edition. (Page 95 1st Edition erroneously states General Choi awarded Ninth- Degree to Chuck Norris. ) One of my articles is cited in his bibliography. He does not cite a source for the claim that Chuck Norris as well as Jackie Chan and Wesley Snipes consider themselves students of General Choi, Chuck Norris, Bob Wall ,and a third person I think Bob Chaney were given "Special" *8th Dan certificates to recognize their contributions to Martial Arts.FWIW, there's a claim in Alex Gillis's A Killing Art that Chuck holds an 8th Dan in ITF:
Page 14: "The General gave an 8th Degree black belt to Chuck Norris, who has 182 schools. Chuck considers himself a student of the General's."

So, I really have no idea what Chuck Norris studied in the USA but suffice it to say when in Korea he studied TSD, not TK-D.

He did learn from someone who later became part of the unification, so Chuck at the very least has Dan rank in ATA. Lee was a close friend of his.So, I really have no idea what Chuck Norris studied in the USA but suffice it to say when in Korea he studied TSD, not TK-D.
Surprised this one is being argued. Chuck Norris' chain of studios that he opened with Pat Johnson in California taught Tang Soo Do. Johnson played the referee in the Karate Kid movie and taught the cast some moves. He is well-known in the Tang Soo Do world and so even before the recent Cobra Kai Netflix series confirmed it, it was bandied around for years that the style the fictional Cobra Kai studied was really Tang Soo Do.So, I really have no idea what Chuck Norris studied in the USA but suffice it to say when in Korea he studied TSD, not TK-D.
