Sport Taekwondo or Traditional Taekwondo? Which is best? Are they the same? This is has been an argument between these two different types of Taekwondo for decades, but the argument is not unique to Taekwondo; other martial art systems have had the same argument, for example, Karate enthusiasts disagree over the differences between the sport of Karate and the art of Karate-do. Some claim the two types of Taekwondo are just two versions of the same thing, while others claim the two types are each separate, distinctive entities; that one is only concerned with competition, while the other is true to the art. To compare the two types of Taekwondo, let us look at the comparison of two distance runners.

Both the runners live in the same area and have run the same trail every day for many years. Both love to run and both encourage others to run. Both teach beginning runners in the correct way to run and, over the years, each has developed a devoted following. One runner enjoys competition, has won many races, and now has formed a running team that competes regularly. As the team won races, the runner developed a reputation as a great running coach and other runners now come to him for instruction on how to run to win.
