Amnell, one more thing, the style of TKD you are referring (Soccer mom taking 5 years old kid to) to is generally known as sport TKD, and are studied by WTF people. There are tones of other TKD style, with ITF and GTF being the more well known, they are mostly immature at best at this point because of its short history, but they are slowly becoming more and more popular, for example, things like NTF and CTF (national taekwond do federation, Combat taekwon do federation) are becoming more popular. They teach the most practical stuff, and also inherited a lot of illegal "killing" technique from Hwarang Do, similar to those from Okinawa Ko Ryu and Kobu Do.

The downside of NTF and CTF is that its a pure body training, there are no mind training at all that tells you and teach you how to align your mindset and to be a good person. Which I disagree of in a "art", martial art should be training beyond the body.

If there are NTF and CTF practitioner who disagree, please correct me

Thanks
