Olympic Team

Just to add a thought.

I'm very glad that any style of Karate is not in the Olympics, with that kind of popularity, finding a decent dojo would be difficult.

The Olympics would add such popularity that karate already has, that alot of good training would get lost.

that is true

olympic TKD rules and Karate rules are two really different things. You should definitely look into olympic style competition, before you think about entering olympic trials. You don't want to get yourself into a lot more trouble than you can handle. Also international competition is governed by the Kukkiwon. You have to get a Kukkiwon certified black belt. That means you'll need to learn at least two of the TKD poomse (forms). You'll also have to find an TKD instructor that would let you do that, and not make you learn the entire curriculum.
