Rod,
I was never "taught" either, perhaps because the first tailwheel type I learned to land was a Pitts and you always land them 3 point. (Ref Chuck's comments above, I'd be interested to hear how one could wheel land a Pitts at stalling speed. To stall you need the angle of attack to be quite high, and to achieve that in level flight you'll be in a 3 point attitude, or even more tail low than 3 point.)
However, in Jodels (and Cubs, though I don't have much experience in them) it is easy to do a wheel landing once you are familiar with the aeroplane. I started doing them for the fun of it, and haven't had any problems. The main risk is pushing too hard and nosing over, but that's not something you're likely to do by mistake if you are experienced and current.
