Bizarre. When I was with the UKTA in the UK during the mid to late 80s, the grading sparring was performed with pads, gum shield etc... and a bit of contact was expected. This looks very weird, yet it does look like an ITF style TKD. No Ho Sin Sul either, so anyone fighting these guys with low kicks or take downs will basically wipe the floor with them.

Sloppy patterns. It’s a good job that this association are not a part of the ITF because these black belts are not up to ITF standard..
