That sounds so cool! I'd love to try it one of these days when there's enough spare time and money (and energy LOL). I've heard other people talk about the politics of it all, with different schools/groups being at each others' throats. Is that a uncommon thing from what you've seen?

You should try it Diane - I bet you'd love it!
Politics... it's like any other group or sport - yes, there are politics. In my TKD school, there were huge flaps between groups of Koreans who ran their own schools and the Americans who dared to run their own schools... between the ITF (International TKD Federation) and the WTF (World TKD Federation)... In my school now, there's still sometimes politics. Who passes or fails tests, and who thinks they were held to higher or lower standards based upon who knows who, or who your Sensei is (at least I've heard people whine, but I don't see it myself). I think it's like that everywhere - and it's as "fair" as it can be, for a subjective sport...
