What kwan do you represent?
This is a question i am amazed by that many Taekwondo instructors(especially in UK) have no idea what a kwan is, they always say ITF or WTF.
Personally having researched much Taekwondo and korean martial arts history i think its important to know what kwan you represent, and teh differences between the kwans. This is just like karate are you shotokan or wad ryu etc..., as we train slightly differently but all taekwondoists.
When i visit a dojang i always ask this question, and if the instructor does not know, then i leave immediately as too me they insult our art because they have not researched their martial art and the roots of training.
Curious to know what kwans seem most popular, at the moment and for the last 6 years i have been teaching Song Moo Kwan as founded by GM Byung Jik Ro.
