asynk Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I asked this question last night to my instructor. He said that there ARE alot of McDojo's.. what he calls "feel good martial arts". Our school, however, is different. Yes, we are a USTF affiliate school. We do the real TKD according to their guidelines ,etc. We ALSO crosstrain alot. Last night, we did boxing drills. Hitting the mits with jabs and hooks. We also have an optional ju jutsi grappling night. A separate teacher comes in for that. I've been told we end up also doing Arnis/Escrima, joint locks,etc. I look at us as more of a "combat TKD". We do have tournaments and point fighting, but they always clarify what would work in point fighting and what would work on the street. I think it helps greatly that our cheif instructor is a police officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
