wow Blue i completely agree! thats so simple why didnt i think of it??!!

it think that people shouldnt generalize TKD. traditional TKD styles like the ITF are not sport. but styles like the WTF can be. IMHO

the only way to stop the fear is to do what it is that your scared of, like when you first have to learn ukemi, if youve ever been there you know what im talking about.

when i read the subject of a thread as "my oppion" i didnt know what to expect. but anyway, i agree with kensai about the whole aikido thing. TKD can be sport, in many WTF dojangs it is trained as a sport with very little hand techniques. i agree with the points you made about high kicks and the likes not being useful and being unpractical in street situatioins. (i think that was your min point anyway, if it wasnt tell me and ill get right back on point! )

i like that one Kyle-san.

i am a base defender from space invaders.

hi welcome!

hi welcome!

yeah i have thanks ramymensa, got it on saturday.

nice site, Venezolano.

haha that would be something special ZR!

stance! i good deep stance is what you need. it will help a heck of alot. then you need to keep distance, they cant take you down if they are far away, so good fast kicks and if you need punches. if there coming from a charge there are things you can do: firstly if they are lighter to abit heavyer then you, you can take them, all you need is a good stance and you can hopfully fight them from putting you on the ground. if they are heavyer you'll want to get out of the way, a fast side step with something like a knife hand to the back of there neck will do. just as long as they are goin to get back up its ok. hope this helps, i think i went off on one about that defence bit there hope its helpful anyway.

hi welcome! good luck with getting into MA again!

so hows did it go? have you done the grading yet?

injuries and the fact that people want to test me and see how "hard" i am. which is quite anoying. and i think the worst thing is people seem to want to take the piss outa me for it?? its stupid and shallow.

awww good luck!

thats what i was trying to say! my head just couldnt put it into words

well done karatekid1975!!! cant wait to read what im sure will be a good articale

the only spinning things are the spinning side kick and cresent kick and thats it! no wait i think we get taught the spinning back fist to. thats it! if you call that flowery i think your abit silly!

you didnt answer. what "flowery"techniques? and thats a load of rubbish about only 3 kicks.

have you read my sig? *giving time for him to read* there we go. thanks Tobias

but we dont use any the"flowery" techniques as you put it. what flowery techniques did you see happening? and ive seen my instructer spar, ive seen lots of the students spar and do you think i would still be goin if i thought they sucked?

you only did 3 kicks? 3 hand techniques? thats shit! and we dont call them sensei, we call our instructer by his name. i think what we have his is our clubs were different. my club is fine, its a good place. you seem to hate yours?

and another thing did you say you could mop the floor with every single one of them? right

right so your club sucked you cant dis the whole of SAMA. and £10 a grading isnt that much. and another thing you dont do a single spinning technique till blue belt, and in your 5 months i dont think you got to blue belt if i remember correctly you got to red?
