Taekwondo, Cigarettes and the Human Weapon: Why?
I was really excited to see the Human Weapon guys finally doing a show on taekwondo, but I was completely disgusted when the one Master had Jason and Bill hold unlit cigarettes in their mouths so he could demonstrate his control by kicking them out of their mouths. Why didn’t he just use straws? Why cigarettes? And (presuming that both hosts are non-smokers) why did they actually agree to put those in their mouths? I’ve always associated TKD and virtually all martial arts with good health and fitness, so I was really disappointed that Master Yang would choose to make any kind of use of cigarettes as part of his demo routine. Just curious as to whether or not anyone else feels the same way?

Something similar to Bally Total Fitness or 24 hours Fitness. He is playing basketball for 6 years and brown belt in a karate. In a good health, want to build better looking body, improve self image.

Help!! Which one should I practice, ITF or WTF Taekwondo?
Currently I am a blue stripe belt and will be taking a test for the red belt in the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF). I’ve practiced WTF TKD for quite a long time and I’m comfortable with the instructor and his teachings. But after I went to an ITF class near my house, I am very interested with it. I know that WTF is more sport oriented and ITF is martial arts oriented, and my purpose studying martial arts is to be able to defend myself, for health, and also for mental training (more confidence, not being a coward, discipline, respect, etc.). Actually i prefer to study ITF because it is tilted for self defense and also the philosophies and disciplines is better (in my opinion) than WTF.
I am not allowed to practice both styles, so now i am confused which to choose, continue WTF or start again in ITF. Personally i like ITF better but then i need to start from scratch if i choose ITF. Please, give me suggestions and also clear reason why i should do it.
