  • For example, here's ...

    For example, here's a competion drill: move in kick, clinch and hold. Obviously if you did that in a real fight you would get punched in the head. Obviously the majority of tkd you see is competition stuff. How many fights have you seen involving someone who knows tkd?

  • I'm a competition ...

    I'm a competition player in tkd, but if faced with a real fight, I know to watch punches to the head. That's why tkd players don't have their hands up - no punches to the head. But anyway, the fact of the matter is that in my club we have practical training. We practice specific things to build our skills. When I say practical training, I mean we practice things that will actually help us, in a fight and in competition.

    What I meant was that if I was ever in a fight situation, I would never bouncing up and down in front of someone with my hands down.

  • When that happens ...

    When that happens you find your own way of moving, of kicking or punching or grappling. Who in the world has the exact same style? If you were in a street fight, then another, and another and another, would you come out of each one unscathed? Would you last all the way through? I'm saying i doubt anyones ability. Everyone has the potential to have a high ability. But so few of us have the ability or the potential to adapt.

  • But then that is ...

    But then that is the beauty of training in the martial arts. Because once you have trained for so long, a few months, a few years, whatever... everything starts to become 'natural motion'.

    but nowadays... if u score a point (or at least appear to do so) and fall down intentionally, or if the falling assisted your technique, then it won't be scored - in theory

    dude actually a POOMSA is a imaginary fight that you do alone, its like in boxing they fight their shadow the same for taekwondo n' for the word KATA=方 is for karate wich has the same meaning

    nope, iuno what's a kata, I'm guessing it's a korean word? belts bother me, because most people relate belt color with how good the fighter is, and it's nto always true... but, whats this "kata" you're talking about, I meditate sometimes on my off time...

  • well, the thing ...

    well, the thing with ranks and belts is a tradition. the belts signify what kata or poomsa or form you are currently trying to master before you move on to your next rank after the time limit/ amount of training hours has been reached. iam sure you have never done a kata before.... they are a mental exercise and get increasinly difficult as they progress.

  • yeah, I'm sure BJJ ...

    yeah, I'm sure BJJ people too are arrogant, being the "masters of the ground"... I've acualty only been disrepected by TKD prople, that too pained my unliking of TKD but I did at one point want to try it out, but didn't like it because you have all these belts, and you don't jump into the fire as fast. I know basics of BJJ, but much prefer standing.

  • adapting to... your ...

    adapting to... your own rules... not to outsider rules... I for one, would have a hard time adapting to tkd rules because I've noticed, when drilling thigns I don't usualy do, I go strait to what feels natural for the situation... but we were talking about adapting to a street fighting situation... not your own rules...

  • Knowing this, ...

    Knowing this, what's the point of blocking? This game tests you in your ability to adapt to your opponent. You may have someone who is defensive, you might have someone who is completely offensive, you might have a mixture or a kicker or a really smart player and you need to be able to change your game in order to get the upper hand.

  • This game is fast ...

    This game is fast as you saw. You need to be able to block quickly, or move quickly or you will be scored on. However, blocking is not always the best way to go. E.g, if you block, let's say 3 times in a row, and your opponent has noticed this, he may throw his kick as to go low, but then switch it to a high kick instead. Or take the first one low then the second one high in a flurry.

  • There is so much ...

    There is so much technicality in this game. For example, falling over. You aren't allowed to kick a fallen opponent. So if you can score on them and fall, they can't score on you. Another point would be guard. A competition guard should be 1 hand above the front knee, 1 hand in line with the solar plexus. Bottom hand is used for blocking short kicks to the front or flank, back hand for deep kicks to the front and deep face kicks.

  • you are right, the ...

    you are right, the majority of tkd people are arrogant, but no more arrogant as the BJJ people. i have never been disrespected as much by a group of "martial artist" than those people, and you are right, adaptation is a problem for tkd people because they dont usualy cross train as i do witch makes me better than the average tkd artist

    and back in the day, it was used for warfare... hhmmm everything gets watered down these days

  • and I think you ...

    and I think you were trying to be offensive but then withdrew in the end, there's no need to apologise, ability to adapt is a major issue for tkd, if you can adapt ok, but other styles and stuff, have areas covered that most street fight end up being sooo... thats why I was bashing tkd...

  • I"m not sure what ...

    I"m not sure what comment you're repplying to because it's not loading for me, but anyway, you're saying you woudlnt' fight like you would in the ring? and I think thats why I says it has problems, because people with TKD go aroud talk smack, and when face on the street, their training almost is rendered useless other than fitness and some other stuff...

  • In addition to that ...

    In addition to that, it doesn't matter what style you have in a fight. What matters most is you're ability to adapt. When your opponent contracts, you expand, when they expand you contract. Talking big and bashing practicality of styles means nothing. I'm not trying to be offensive and apologies if I have offended.

  • So you're basically ...

    So you're basically saying tkd is ineffective? Would someone really fight on the streets like they do in a tkd tournament? Honestly, grow up, only an idiot would do that. I train with international tkd fighters and none of them, if faced with confrontation on the streets would ever fight like they do in the ring. Do you really understand what you're saying?
