Phantasmatic Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 I'm guessing you take TKD? "Which one is more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?" - Obi Wan Kenobi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ti-Kwon-Leap Posted April 23, 2002 Author Share Posted April 23, 2002 I'm afraid I don't know the difference between "Olympic style v.s. traditional. We do spend a good deal of time on traditional stances, kata and step sparring...maybe you could enlighten me?...

Ti-Kwon-Leap Posted April 23, 2002 Author Share Posted April 23, 2002 Thanks, KickChick! The differences mentioned are pretty much what I thought was the case. Luckily, my teacher emphasises sparring only in the designated sparring classes (optional) and aside from the difference in forms, there is a definate emphasis on developing ones character and all that implies. I spent a bit of time watching the way classes were taught, and master Maharjan's teaching comes from the heart.
