I can't imagine that all karate schools are not well-organized but I could be wrong. I do know that early taekwondo was taught to the Korean military. So this is why we have everything broken down into steps and numbers. It's designed to be taught to large numbers. My instructor's husband studies Shotokan Karate and he even commented on this. They pretty much learn my imitation. We break things down to steps then slowly take away the steps 'til you have the technique. Anyhow, I know of some pretty disorganized taekwondo schools too. So your best bet is to shop around if you are not happy with your current dojo. ~BCP My experience with karate training is having watched a few classes.
