BlackbeltFenix

At my school, CTF, we have to learn all forms up to Kwan Gae, and Kwan Gae, 2nd Dan was Po-Eun and Ge-Baek thats all I got up to before I had to move away, but every test consisted of Excersices, 2-Steps, Forms, and Sparring. Each test taking about 3-5 hours depending on the amount of ppl

haha thanks for the input guys yea a mastering of basic techniques is pretty much required even when i used to compete in tournaments and random sparring matches i do now i use my basic techniques 98% of the time becuase imgood at it and know how to use them effectively

Hello I just signed up for this forum and I wanted to just see how some other martial artists feel about what I have been doing. I am a 2nd degree black belt of the Chin Mu Kwan Tae Kwon Do Federation. I also took a couple years in judo and akido. Unfortuantly I have not been able to attend my dojo due to moving away where a TKD school is rare and charges way too much. So to further my skill I youtube moves, watch movies and pratice moves that I did not know but seem pratical to my fighting style. My style is now a mix of TKD,Judo,Akido, American Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and american wrestling. My sparring partner is a 3rd degree black belt in TKD but i forget what Federation. And basically to train I use new techniques while we sparr while he continues going to his school. Any input on what im doing would be nice, should i continue to mix the martial arts, should i just stick to one style, etc. Thanks and from what it looks like these forums seem very useful for my continued practice of martial arts without my sensei
