In almost every TKD class I have ever been in, both ITF affiliated and Kukkiwon affiliated what in Karate is called a Roundhouse Kick is called a Turning Kick instead, with the exception of a couple of schools that have Moo Duk Kwan heritage. Those schools used the Karate/Tang Soo Do term of Roundhouse Kick.
Is this because the Moo Duk Kwan resisted some of the terminology changes that were introduced by Gen. Choi and it has just filtered down through the years in schools that although they are now Kukkiwon they continue to this day to use some of the older Karate/Tang Soo Do names for techniques?
Just curious is all.
