Thanks for answering my question! Sorry that it was written in quite a convoluted way!

Thank you sir

In a traditional Japanese martial art context I was taught that direct eye contact while bowing was rude. When bowing, you can look at the other person's feet. This lets you see if they are about to move. I have been wondering if this was the same in Taekwondo.

Paul, do you think it's possible to get into a really high level taekwondo at the age of 20s in order to perform top level demonstrations? I'm thinking of things of reaaaaly crazy level like KTigers or TaekwonCre and alike

Very nice question, I will hope for an answer

I barely saw any punching when I watched the Olympic taekwondo
