From what I saw, TKD the way our organization does it is definitely taekkyun influenced. |
Or modern Tae Kyon is influenced by popular TKD? |
I am going with you on this one. The Taekkyon people even deny the link between the two styles. Combining Taekkyon with Taekwondo though, that would do wonders for your kicking game, I suppose.

I don't believe that the Taek Yon done today is the same Taek Yon that is claimed to have existed centuries ago. I don't believe that it survived underground that long. The Taek Yon that we see today I believe is influenced by the same techniques that influenced TKD from Karate.

You are right, it is not the same Taekkyon. There is traditional Taekkyon, which is the old, authentic version, and you have modern Taekkyon revival, which is the modern TKD-influenced version. It can be pretty confusing and it is often the very source of the claim that TKD came from Taekkyon. TKD kicks are designed to destroy while Taekkyon's kicks were designed to unbalance. I am thinking that adding Taekkyon kicks to one's TKD arsenal would make their kicking more versatile as you would have the power/destructive kicks of TKD mixed with the flowing/unbalancing kicks of Taekkyon. I don't know how compatible they would be though - the whole "rhythm" of Taekkyon doesn't seem to mix very well with the more hyper "rhythm" of TKD. I could be wrong, though.

I think that TKD already has the kicks that Tae Kyon is using now. What's different is the how they are applied. The revival Tae Kyon is a bit more flashy, and tends to have a Capoeria roda flavor to it.
