I'm 24. Just finished my degree.

I suppose you could, but why?! Ouch!

Man I wish I had started MA earlier. Go for it and good luck in whatever art you choose.

Wooden weapons are the way to go here. What I WOULDN'T do is go get real ones on your own. All it takes is for your parents to find them and you may not be allowed to train in MA's at all. Definately not worth it considering the fact in a number years you'll probably be out of the house and can buy whatever you want anyway. The lost training time never comes back though.

We used to be allowed to break concrete but now it's just boards. White- step in side kick Yellow- step in front kick Orange- knife hand strike (holding own board) Green-360 back kick Purple- step in hook kick Blue- spin heel (speed break) Brown- flying side kick (3 boards, over 3x3 shields) *this is my next break Red- side kick (3 boards) followed imediately by an axe kick Red w/stripe- jump back kick 3 boards f.i.b. a jump front kick (2 boards), punch (speed break self held), knife hand (speed break, self held) BB canidate- jumping spin heel speed break, hook/round (one motion), 2 mystery breaks The mystery breaks I've seen usually involve you being on the ground, kicking or kneeing one board, rolling onto your side to "bust someones knee" and getting up to do 2-3 more boards. For my break (see above) my friends and I have taken to jumping over the roofs of Geo metros for practice. Loads of fun.

I'm learning Palgwe and Taegeuk forms. Occasionally we do Chong Bong forms. CB roughly translates to mountain top or small mountain. These forms were created by my instructors first TKD teacher and we do these to remember our own history. My favorite form (so far) is palgwe oh-jang and I've gotten medals for Taegeuksa-jang

My school follows this pattern: white,yellow,orange,green,purple,blue,brown, red, red w/tip, red w/stripe, black I'm a brown belt (3rd gup) and have been training for almost two years.

There was a club for vietnemesse kung fu that practiced in the gym next to our club in college. Vo Lam kung fu. I think that's as close to "native" as it gets but I really don't know for sure.

Hi, I'm a 3rd gup in Taekwondo. Thanks for the invite from the yahoo club.

I always thought a nice front kick to bust the knee would be great...Depending on the situation and as a prelude to a hand tec.
