I don't believe I ever have disagreed with you ... but there is always a first time!!

 

You've never disagreed with me, but I've disagreed with you many a time LOL :D

 

Maybe this is the start of a beautiful friendship.

I'm with Korean term. In TSD, I was taught A LOT of it. In TKD, we don't use most of what I have learned, but I still keep up with it. Because I know that if I were to go to another TSD or TKD school, and they also use Korean term, I would know what move they wanted. In english, it's different. For example: in TSD, we said roundhouse kick. In TKD, we say turning kick. Guess what? It's the same in Korean (dollyo chaki) :D

The need for a glossary of tems was brought up before. But the people who saw the need for it and were going to begin to compile one never did.

There are 2 schools of thought on this:

 

Traditional-only use Korean/Japanese so as not to confuse beginners

 

Modern-only use English so as not to confuse beginners

 

Well, I opt for a third, the Modern Traditional school of thought-use both terms (english and korean/japanese) so that the beginner relates the two and won't be confused when talking with other MA's or visiting other schools.

 

I don't think any school of thought is better than the others-just differences in philosophy and style :D .
