karatekid1975 Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 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.

ninjanurse Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 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 .
