Kyorugi is, at least logically, the final step of Taekwondo training. It can be regarded as a center of entire process of Taekwondo training. And practically, all of another steps are for the sake of Kyorugi.

But many people don't know the meaning and exact methodology of kyorugi so that they get injured than learn more in kyorugi. Thus, they come to hate kyorugi. There are also another group who misunderstand kyorugi, and they like only kyorugi ignoring another training processes of TKD. They just enjoy kyorugi as an interesting game to exhaust their inner aggresive emotion, although not bad way, yet they may lose an important aspect of TKD and its training.

Since Taekwondo is a fighting skill, you should train kyorugi any way to get the unique important value of Taekwondo. I wish you can know what are those unique values in kyorugi and Taekwondo in the below articles and explanations.
