You really should have pointed out that the differences between TKD and shótó-kan are minimal. The first several kata (at least) are even the same. My objection to TKD is the emphasis many of its practitioners place on kicking, sometimes to the almost complete exclusion of other techniques. If you are like the majority, not adaptable, then TKD is not well rounded enough for my taste.
