Tong Il

[simontkd4]

Hi, in the TAGB ( ITF variant U.K), we perform a version of Tong Il that is different from the later ITF versions.
Watching You tube videos, it is clear that the pattern has several different endings. I wonder, which version is agreed is the best?

Also, is it right to change the original version( the General's Taekwondo book 1979), to a new version, or were his first thoughts right?

Hi Simon:-)

I doubt you will find one ending being agreed cross organisations as being the "best". If there was would it not be just the one "best" ending in use across the organisations?

And also the best ending for what? Most practical sparring applications ending? Most practical realistic application ending? Most beautifull to watch ending? Best bodycontrol training ending? etc. Patterns has different meanings to different people. To know what would be the best ending we need to define the best ending for what cause?

Well, Sir, I see it like this. If the creator of something (Admittedly others had input)decides a revision to their work is warranted how can anyone else claim the revision was not better? They can certainly claim they like somthing better, but that's abput it.
