tsdtony

I would say this i have seen only a few wc schools.So i cant commint on the art in a whole.But froum what i seen there sparring was just not in a practical since.It was 2 guys sanding face to face doing hand drill grabing and countirng.I dint see any grapling or movement just standing and hands .But as i said I have only seen 3 wc schools.

even older tkd schools hip use is difrent from tsd.While you would like to clame are arts are look alike its just not true.I have heard many people say the atf is more liike tsd.But from what i see it nothing like .But maybe I am rong so if you know of a tkd school that resimbels tsd i would love to see it.By the way i never clamed hwang kee inventied tsd.He did invent the moodukkwan style of tsd.And moodukkwan tkd looks nothing like moodukkwan tsd.

well beang that I take tandsoodo i would have to say tsd.here is way 1 tsd teaches you stand up grapling joint locks selfdefince and wepions forms 2. Part of tsd your do contunios contact no light sparing also you reagurly do 1-1 2-1 and 3-1 spariing.This give you real expirance agenst multiple atakers. 3.Inturnal energy with proper breathing you can jab with the same force good thia fighter can trough a hook. Thean i would defintly go with mt over wc.MT fighters are tough as nailes.also there also used to realistic situatios in there training.not to mention devistaing kickes knees and elbows

according to the us panted office tkd was not patend until 1960. That could be were people get confused. But had ben and oficel art since 1952 i belave.But tkd and tsd trully have no link at all.There two completly difrent arts.Tsd is a tradisonal art.Were 90 percent of tkd schools avirtise sport karate,We punch kick and do hungs completly diffrent.tsd more focas on hip and real life spariing and selfdefince.Tkd little or no selfdefince sport sparring.And as far as i know in tkd there is no ground woork.The only link is parts of a name.Maybe a long time ago thay were simaler but not any more.I have never seen a tkd school that looks like tsd.At the same time i have never seen a tsd school look like a tkd school.

Y head gear and the light contact gm clingan alwess taught us non realstic sparring teachis bad habbits.People comenot out affred to get hit. because there used to a protective pad.But i do like the fact you dont do many jumping tecniqes i have seen a few tsd artest come in and woork with us.But every time ive seen theam use jumping tecniqes agens any of are senor belt its woorked out badly for theam.are instructor likes to push theam over as soon as there feet leave the ground.lol good job on not kicking the wife who knows you might never of gotin to eat agean

Tkd is not a slefdefince maybe at one time but not anymore it is a sport karate.If you want selfdefince take something much less sport orantated.Pluse no way in you know what did bjj guy take a man down thean let him when he taped to pull out a wepon i just think that is a joke.Kung fu is a good selfdefince as long as your willing to put in the time

A kata is memory no matter in the dark or light.Doing katas in the dark is weak your body is already programed for that movement so it should come natural.Thats just my thoughts.

Hwang kee hes just that good No one said tkd was for whimps just people who play karate

well i have never done forms blindfolded.But we do blindfolded sparring.Not light contact eather.i found this helps greatly woth much more than just balance.you learn to find your oponet many difrent ways.Its helped me with breathing balince and defince.My defince has greatly improved.I have learnd to concentrae on not just my breathing but my opinest and too be abel to fell were thay are with out touching theam or theam hiting me.

its not posible to know the form if your not doing it right.So y the drunk would try the form if its not perfect its not right.so i think your rong when you say anyone can learn the form.Also you are right there is a great many thing that have to flow together to do the form.But in many tkd schools the expectashin on the forms is much less thean most arts.So if people go online thay will see a lot of lazy forms.but you cant base all tkd schools on that.In my experonce the itf tend to have more complicted forms thean the wtf.

I dont think one is more afective than the other.I use bouth hands and feet .to me there bouth afective and usefull.I mean just my last sparring match right afetr i hit the guy i kicked him.woorked pretty good.Wha i am getting at is this is a redundet question.Its like asking whats bettor your stomeck or back

Y is breaking so important to tkd.What do you think this acheaves.

I have a feind 3rd dagree in tkd.About 3 weeks ago i watched his have to try too defind himself agenst a drunk.I didnt even bother too see if he was going to be ok.I figured 3rd dagree hell be ok.Next thing i new he was looking up froum his back.So no i dont think its usefull at all.When my friend whent back into a fightng stance he got hit in the mouth and went down.Froum a drunk.

I would have too agree tkd forms do look simple and thay dont look practical.But thats only because i take tsd and where taught a diffrent way of devloping powere.So wile it looke simple and rong too me.Its neather I would think its just as hard to learn a tkd form as it is any other art.While it easy for you it could be hell for someone else.

If you are in it for selfdefince you would mostlikly not want to take tkd.Since most tkd schools are sport oreanted and thear selfdefince is not very afective at all.Hapkido is a very strong choice and there self defince is some of the best tecniqes arround.Kenpo shotokan Tangsoodo and Kyokishon all teach a great combination of standup grapling and selfdefince also thay teach meditaion and etirnal energy excersies.Muay taih is very defisting hand and foot fighting iwth eldows and knees striks but thears not much selfdefince in there art.Judo is a very afective art with defistating selfdefince and ground woork .My self i went with tangsoodo because of the combination of things we learn and because of the insrutor.But i have watched other studios in my town and the judo and kenpo werew bout very inpresive.I hope this helps

kenpo was in hawiae befor ed parker ever brought in to the us.In mho he just perfected it and had a good markiting plan.But if you do a deep search on kenpo you will see it was here long befor parker made it famous

Its very simple when you traing for mma you train for the cage.There are many thangs a tradisonal fighter could do that that the mma would not be abel too.So i guess i would say the cage fighter in the cage would dominate.But were there are no rules the judo/kiyokishon would uterly dominate.Not too mintione there 8 years diffrence.
