All the rest, and I've visited at least 40 schools, are nothing but after school kiddy programs. There is a place for "TKD Lite" I guess. But I'd love to see more REAL schools. Trouble is that is very hard to make a living with just dedicated students. They are too few and often gravitate to more rigorous forms of martial arts. I agree, Olympic TKD is stultifying dull. I wonder if competitions had a cash purse if the rigor would return? Zeishe **************Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?

Master Affadigato was on the World Team (USTF/ITF) and is a GREAT fighter and has very good technique when it comes to forms/patterns. Master Vitale is an extremely knowledgeable Master instructor who has trained w/ General Choi, GM Chuck Sereff and is very involoved with the unification of North and South Korea. They both train themselves and their students VERY hard. I got to train with Master Affadigato at a seminar one time. I was smoked!
