His characterization of Gen. Choi's adoption of Hapkido techniques (whip-stitched), his implication that because they aren't performed how he...
Hey, people can easily do that with being insulting. That's my only point. I ask questions all the time when I'm at a seminar or class. But I...
ITF-NK's Tournament Rules describe it as "Self Defense Routine." TKDStudent is totally correct, I think, in that it should be called...

The breaking portion of a test is to demonstrate the power of the techniques, as Gen. Choi stated. If it was part of Taekwon-Do per se it would...
It isn't relevant because, as Gen. Choi states, breaking isn't part of Taekwon-Do. Whether you use a different punch in breaking is a matter of...
Well, this may or may not be true. But, ultimately, it's not relevant to this conversation. "Breaking itself is not Taekwon-Do, as most people...
Well, the first paragraph is talking about how fundamental movements, dallyon, all methods of sparring, and self-defense "are so closely related...
