Unsuprisingly some people prefer not to get injured while training, I can't think why. Whether it is a hindrance or not, that's what they do in that TKD school and if you want to train there you should accept it. If you really believe its that much of a hindrance find somewhere else to train, but simply because you spar to a different, more painful, method in Krav Maga doesn't mean that you should do it in all arts. If you've done it more than once I'm suprised the instructor hasn't simply banned you from the school.

You cannot apply your Krav Maga training into your TKD training during class while sparring. I see that you are crosstraining and that is fine if you plan to supplement your TKD skills with some Krav Maga combat style training. You can aplly your knowledge of both styles "together" on the street but you need to keep them separate in the training hall.

Whatever style of TKD you may be currently training in, you are not allowed to purposely injure your opponent (especially to the face) during sparring drills. I too am surprised that you haven't been banned.

Maybe you should give TKD a second thought.

Just remember what class you are in. The TKD will help you with your kicking and footwork. If the dojo does not want any contact with those ranks then back down. That isnt nessarily bad. If in a self defense situation you can't kill the person. You can only strike with the same force they applied on you. Overkill is not allowed in the real world. (legally) Learning control can be very good for you.

Appling them can be the easy part. Learning when to strike hard or pull back on the street is the hard part.

The idea about learning a martial art is to defend yourself, but it is also for self control, confidence, self awareness, and the list can go on. As one member stated, you can use only the necessary force to counter any aggression towards you on the street. But when it comes to the dojo, you are all there to learn. Getting hurt or hurting someone is not necessarily learning, and if you or the other person is put out of commission, then the learning stops altogether.

If you are of a higher rank and taking it to a lower rank, then you are not helping them learn. Not saying you have to stand there and take their shots or give them anything, but you simply need to understand their limitations to your abilities. Lastly, there will always be someone out there that is bigger, tougher, meaner than all of us.
