I really find the use if the word traditional in respect to anything Taekwondo somewhat strange, especially in some of the contexts it gets used. How traditional can it be? My folks were born in the fifties. Does that make them traditional?That has been my observation as well. Some Chang Hon-style schools that don't adopt the Sine Wave refer to themselves as "traditional" taekwondo.
But then, the school my son and I attend is a Kukkiwon-style school, and right there on the website of the school, they call themselves "traditional" taekwondo as well! It just goes to show you, one man's new-fangled-style is another man's "traditional."

"Another instructor I know, whom is native Korean & has trained under no less than four of General Choi`s original, 1st generation pioneering instructors, had this to say: "The sine wave is not accepted by all factions of ITF stylists. It came somewhere around the
90s. It is a recent thing. Not accepted by all Grandmasters. "

I thought that too.Interesting that you choose Rayners Lane to quote.......

'Quoting Rayners Academy quoting someone. Was that too hard for you?
You clearly don't understand the meaning of gaining prominence.
The fact that Choi may have pondered/theorised on this concept in the late 60, does not make it exist, let alone prominent.
If it was truly materialised in the late 60s, then it sure took a long time for the word to get out:
"So now we get into the controversial area of the sine-wave. As a note of interest sine-wave was introduced at a seminar in Derby by the General in 1983"

My instructor, Master Chin-Yuat Yeo (8 dan), who has trained in ITF since 1966, graded by General Choi, said the 80s too, regarding sine wave.

That's a pretty silly claim to make, since it (like so much of what you post) is demonstrably false.
I was introduced to sine wave in the mid- to late-70's. I freely admit that I have never really cared for it, and to this day I don't generally incorporate it into my practice of the Chang Hon forms. But it was certainly being introduced long before the 90's.

You are not representive of the global ITF curriculum as a hole. You also focused on the wrong part of the quote. The stament regarding acceptance of sine wave among GMs was what I found interesting. Yet nobody wants to comment that.

Here is my experience vis a vis ITF Curriculum as a whole. 6 Full (Hosted One) and One partial IIC by General Choi plus seminars, in the USA, Canada, Jamaica, Russia, Italy, as well has Having judged World Cup and International Championships in 3 countries. 2 More ITF V IICs after General Choi's death.
If you feel that is not enough of a representation as to what the ITF curriculum is then we will agree to disagree.
