greater emphasis on the sport aspect of the art.
Taekwondo stylists tend to fight at an extended
range, and keep opponents away with their feet. It
is a hard/soft, external, fairly linear style and is
known for being very powerful. There is a lot of
competition work in many dojongs. Training tends to
emphasize sparring, but has forms, and the basics
are important as well.
