mean fighter

I was saying cross breeding them with other styles

oh and another big Q for other TKD martial artist, does anyone else know the wave motion in ITF TKD

Thanks

Thankyou

absolutley right Aodhan, I just got back from my TKD class and we practiced defense against a knife, and the most likely predicament you will be in with a knife is on the street. Dont let it get to the point were you feel that you have no choice but to fight. for instance if a person is walking by you in a unfimiliar nieborhood with unfimiliar people dont let them get that close to you, have an imaginary box or circle that you have for you personel space, (about three feet) if a person wants to hurt you in any way that three feet should give you enough time to turn and run away or deliver a stong kick or punch .

mixing techeniqs is exactly what combinations are

The reason I ask is because ITF is an extremely rare kind of martial artist to find in my area, when I meet a person who says he does TKD they dont know there are different federations. or they mix it in with two different styles calling it there own art.

No matter what style you study or how good you are at it, a person with a knife on the street will cut you

Is anyone else here strictly learning or teaching ITF in thier schools

IF a man hasnt discoveredsomething that he will die for, he isnt fit to live. one of my fovorites :Martin Luther King,Jr.

OW

schedules and locations thats all, thanks

I just wish the kid would get back too us. and I have a feeling that the fight already went through and not so well

well if the fight isnt going in your favore fight dirty if you have too. through dirt in his eyes and kick him in his family jewels then run like heck

can anyone help me find a good tournament web site

True, true, karate 25 I think I agree Not to be a hypacrit and all but I am scared for this kid hopefully it will just end up with kids yelling and name calling though. I have posted about me with scheduled fights with a person here before but all what would happen is name calling and enemys turning in good friends

varsity TKD huh? well I wish I ahd that in my school anyway I do ITF TKD and the best advice I got for ya is to use your apperance to your advantage make them think your weak and just explode

I do TKD it took me 4 1/2 years to get my BB and the system goese like this. White Yellow green blue red black. some times my art and teacher tried my patients because I have to get colored stripes in the middle of my belt to. And I moved up in rank once every four-six months.

the rules were that you can hit the side of the head and the stomach on the belt in gold lettering it said karate and muay thai school.

If he boxes and does BJJ that means he might try to get real close to you (Bum rush you then try a few uppercuts and grab your legs then pound you face in well just tell us how it turns out in the end

one of the guys that I had to spar was 225lb and is in no way slow?????!!!!

I spared ina tournament today and went against a 21 year old guy who knew muay thay. I do TKD and I thought I had the guy on the ropes we were both BBs and the point sparring went all the way to 5. All I needed was one more hit to the body or head to win the score was 4to0 my favor, but on the last round everyone was screaming and yelling ooooooh,and holy crap that was so close it was just me and him on the floor and everyone was just looking at us competetors and all. He was at least five feet away from me then all of a sudden I was pratically gliding on his knee and the crowd just shut up really quick . The wind was Knocked out of me , I got back in ten minutes later but it is still some thing I wont forget.

well i met Don, hes nice and all but, he charged 5$ a picture or autograph

I like it How about: Knowledge is not power, it is only potential power that becomes real through use.

WTF is most leand to sport. I do ITF and in my opinion if your going to teach to community center I would do ITF. Because its mane focus is street fighting not just ordinary people but also other martial artist. I think if that if your going to teach to a community center you should focus on ITF for street fighting not for any tournament of course thats just me
