How to teach an evolved form of Tae Kwon Do?

I think if you're going to call something Taekwondo, people are going to expect certain hallmarks of the style: emphasis on kicks, board breaking, the dobak, poomse, etc. I suspect you'd attract a different sort of crowd than what you'd want, unless you somehow differentiated it from the jump as "Progressive Taekwondo" or something. I wouldn't even necessarily drop forms, but rather search for an interpretation of them that makes sense in a self-defense context.

In the end, you can only teach what you know, and what you're comfortable with. Maybe it's TKD. Maybe it's simply TKD-based. I think YOU are the only person who can tell the difference.

New arts are created to fill in the gaps of an old one. Despite popular belief this is not done by an old man in the mountains somewhere. It takes decades to do that. And someone who asks this question does not have enough experience. Besides in the last 50 years or so the evolution and the spread of martial arts has exploded. There really is no need to sit at home and dream off creating new styles because they probably already exist.

What would be the difference between your style and lets say muay thai? Or sambo? Or any other style?

I would say you have no idea what tkd involves especially if you think the forms are useless and meaningless,

those forms contain all your techniques, including striking and grappling as well as stand up and ground. If you can't see that then you dont understand what you are teaching or about tkd

Great idea dropping forms (can't wait for the thumbs down mislead people). But to do this you really need to prove its effectiveness I would think. Call it anything you want it really does not matter but make sure it is really going to be effective and practical or you may not get much demand.

I know in my area other schools or people will and do occasionally "visit" competing schools and start fights. I would guess someone starting a non traditional school would attract a lot of that. Good luck if you are for real.

TKD evolved is scary.....camouflage belts and doboks, black belts given to 8 year old should be enough.
