OK peeps, don't hijack the thread. I know the whole mcdojang/mcdojo can happen to any art. I simply stated that the TKD place I went was indeed a McDojang. Thanks for the information. I will be checking the place out Wed or Thurs. To be totally honest I'd rather study Kung Fu/Karate, but I had trouble finding an authentic place around me and they are all outrageously priced. I'm much more interested in learning submission/joint locks and punching as that really is more practical for self defense, but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't learn a primarily kicking art.

Cool, thanks for the info. I've also read that Tang Soo Do would be better than TKD for someone who was looking for an art that was more focused on self-defense.....any thoughts?

Hello everyone! I am going to visit a Soo Bahk Do dojang that recently opened near me. I'll probably check it out later this week. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience in this art. The class only has about 5 people in it right now and the rates are really low. I know a few of the members and they love it. They say it's really a one on one experience. Also, the teacher is a 5th Dan I believe. My friend who is in the class said that they teach numerous joint-locks and submission moves, which I really want to learn, and is why I stayed away from TKD. I took TKD for a few months, but was not interested in it because I felt like I was just punching/kicking a bag and I can do that at home. I have to admit though, it was pretty much a McDojang. Any info is greatyly appreciated!! Thanks!
