Ok I have a few question about sport VS. non-sport, forget about sparring, one steps or any self defense. Lets talk about poomsae for a minute, the WTF have came up with rule sets over what they call sport poomsae, does this not seperate one from the other? Lets talk Koryo for a good example, nobody I know throws the first two kicks to the floor and to the cieling, KKW is actually the knee and the head, if the WTF and the KKW are suppose to be one why is it the WTF wants the flashy kicks and not the KKW standards? I am not trying to stir the pot but I am really trying to understand how anybody can truely say there is no seperation from sprot and Traditional TKD.
thats the new arguement. Do you do them the way KKW says, or the way WTF says. They are "supposed" to be the same.... but we see differences.
In the KKW Master course, they talked about that and how its coming from the split between KKW and WTF. They said KKW invents "things" then gives it to the WTF who may modify it for the "sport". such as sparring and now poomse. No clear answer was given.
But like everything else going on between the 2, why would you not expect the same in poomse?
