Also, each itself was popularized on the basis of the training system and philosophy. Due to it, both came to have big difference in athletic method and rule, thereby becoming a big obstacle now to integration according to joining the Korean Amateur Athletic Association.

Above all, the present athletic method was changed so that other martial-art trainees can easily follow the methods in hand movement and step. And, many restrictions are being placed upon the attacking method and kicking method of using hand. However, Taekgyeon in the past was the actual martial arts with excellent killing power, and had been enjoyed by many people like the life sports.
