Before I begin am not here to insult you anyone who has the same views. Anyways you kust understand different arts have different styles and techniques. For example, take mai thai it is commonly well known for it destructive power and using the body as a weapon, where as the "true form" of wing chun is more calm and yet it is very deadly if practiced correctly trust me the speed and domination it gives you towards oppopnent. What am trying to point that disowing another form is plain ingorant.

Taekwondo is more disciplined and has more ettiquette? and theres you discrediting another art with that very sentence. taekwondo and karate are about as similar as they come; theyre different ofcourse but realistically theyre the same family of fighting.

Quan Fa (kwonbop in Korean) appears in the Muyedobotongji (1700s_, which is based on Chinese Ming general Qi Jiguang's manual published in the 1500s. So that could be a connection. However, Choi trained Karate Do and that was the base for Taekwondo plus it seems some Taekyon kicking techniques. If you look at the 1965 manual by Choi the uniforms as well as many techniques resemble Karate. There are quiet a few hand techniques unlike the modern version that focuses on kicking

There's a series of articles called "storming the fortress" on fightingarts(dot)com. Yun Byung-in is covered in part 3, it seems he studied quanfa, though which specific style or styles he studied are speculative.

[Tianshanwarrior]

Hmm this is not a primary, secondary and not even tertiary source. It seems more like hearsay at best. If you look at Bajiquan you will see that there is nothing that resembles that style in what is done in Taekwondo

How in the kwans knew bajiquan?

[DaveJones876]

from shotokhan, taekkyon and some other influences, some speculate baji quan, because some of the founders of the 9 kwans, knew baji quan.

Anyways the shotokhan influences and the taekkyon influences are plain as day. They're quite easy to se.

[DaveJones876]

it does have grappling, checjk the encyclopedia or check taekkyon people sparring. You see them using techniques that are very similar to the sweeps and throws in the encyclopedia. But those aren't done in sparring because they are illegal in competition and sadly many schools don't give them proper attention. But they are there. They do exist.
