Topic Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 I am thinking of starting WTF TKD, i have been training in ITF for 4 years (received BlackBelt), but i want to try somethign new out, i tried goju ryu but its too hard to learn somethign so differntly, so im going to try out WTF, how much differnt is it from ITF?
manuelito Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 i did the wtf for about a year and found it very different. the school that i went to did a lot more work with kicking. everything else was similar exept ofcourse the patterns. try it out it can not hurt you. have fun and good luck. pain is weakness leaving the body.fear is the mind killer, i will face my fear and let it pass threw me. from the movie "dune"i know kung fu...show me. from the movie "the matrix"
The Saint Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Just watch your reaction to punch to the face. In most competitions kicks go to the face and i haven't saw any punches to the face. good luck "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to go to his class." Choi, Hong Hi ITF Founder

Kicks Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 Keep an open mind grasshopper. Don't get hung up on "that's not how we did it at my other dojang". Good luck, and enjoy. when you create the world's largest trailer park, you're going to have tornadoes

You don't want to keep thinking about how you did it at your other school. it is not a completly different world, but you'll get used to it. It is better to burn out than to fade out!
