Q1: Is your website a complete resource site for all the patterns (kata) that exist in Taekwondo?

As you may have noticed, it is difficult to find much real information about the martial arts, or anything else, online without paying for it. Periodically, I surf the net looking for new information or ideas, but as I once saw in a cartoon, “I think I have reached the end of the Internet.” Most sites are school sites or retail sites that are promoting their businesses rather than offering information. What little they do offer is usually just the same basic things seen on any site. Books usually are just collections of photographs showing basic techniques with a few words printed in a large font on pages with wide, side margins. Most books and website take a single thought and then expound on it for pages and pages. It is similar to reading a high school term paper where there is a one-sentence original thought and then pages of fluff. I look through all kinds of resources looking things that may be related to the martial arts in some way and then present them in TKDTutor.com in a straight-forward manner with a skeptical-eye. I have never found a site that offers as much as TKDTutor.com offers.
