Not if you go by Chois bio, and his own accounts. He worked on finishing specific patterns in the 60s. This can only mean the 24 patterns were not completed by then.
. Not much has changed from what you see in that video save for that taekwondoin have become faster, stronger, more athletic and better in all ways, because they use better training methods.
You seem to have missed page 428 when he talks about creation of the first 2 patterns. Exact date not given but other events on the pages around that one were 1955 or so. Other patterns followed. Did not take 10 years as you suggest.
Basic arithmetic informs me there's missing publication of 22 patterns. It took 10 years for all of his 24 forms to be completed =established, in either 1965 or 1966.
Why are you so persistent in this hopeless quest? Is it because Taekwon-Do boils down to Karate, without it's forms?
You also mkissed the part in his Bio about completing work in 1958 and getting it published in 1959 although TBH I am not sure what patterns were in the 1959 Publication.
So, you erroneously conclude that since the 1965 Book was the first date of Publication of a book in english that nothing happened before then and you miss cite the bio which contains cotrary information to what you claim.
There are detectors on their chest nowdays to register impact, which wasn't prevalent in the 80s. It's just point fighting, with very few going for the kill (head shots). Doesn't resemble any martial art of this day. ITF however is similiar to lighter kickboxing. While ITF pro is full contact.
I guess we will find out. North Koreans will most likely be able to compete in the 2016 Olympics, under WTF rules. I have not seen WTF guys move better than their best guys, even back in the 90s. Not a chance.
One of the things I have tried to do on MT boards since late 2009 is to remain civil, have an open mind and respect those I disagree with so long as they make simple efforts to argue with some logic, from a position of knowledge. Unfortunately your posts fall way below the baseline of what I would consider to be common sense. You ignorance, sir, is so deep that I fear making any further commentary on your posts will do nothing more than expose you to more scorn and ridicule.
Even if the completion predates 1965, and I would be wrong in my 10 years claim, I would still suppose the 24 forms (or even close to that) were not in existence during the TKD schools back in 1955. And 1955 was the point of my question - how did those schools operate, which patterns (apart from one or two from Choi) did the students practice and recieve gradings in?
Also, some dispute Choi came up with the name Tae Kwon Do. He did however suggest it.
Why did General Choi convince Jhoon Rhee, amongst others, to start using the name Tae Kwon Do instead? It's just semantics. The effort was clearly to differentiate their art from Karate, due to nationalistic purposes.
I'm not being rude here but do you often answer your own questions?
No. I offered my uncontroversial answer to the question. Maybe theirs is different, but they will have something to play with in response.
As to your complaints; I can dismiss which every art or style I want. It just so happens that I didn't, but instead rejected a specific sparring format,
1. My comments weren't complaints rather that you misled us over the content of your thread.
2. Actually on MT you cannot dismiss any style or art, it's against the rules here. You cannot bash anything especially in the way you are rude to posters.
You don't think the meaingless post you praised from poster archtkd, was not rude?
I am free of all charges as to bashing, since I do both styles of Taekwondo, and I love it.
Really? 'meaningless' ? no, of course that's not bashing anyone is it roflmao. I will give you marks for your arrogance though and as you say you do both styles of TKD also your hypocrisy.

Kind of formed the impression that you were anti WTF. Oh well I'll go and be confused elsewhere.
You and me both mate. I've been insulted by better
