(ive quit shotokan and taken up taekwondo). im off work with a martial arts related injury so i thought id come back and say hi and involve myself in some of the real interesting chats that i know take place here! Hope to speak to you all soon!
simpso1j Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 What do you think of TKD compared to Shotokan?

username237 Posted January 24, 2005 Author Posted January 24, 2005 i ruptured my achillis tendon just doin some footwork. Im in a pot/on crutches. Its not too bad at the moment, althought im having my foot reset in a different position on friday so thats gonna hurt!! It'll be in pot for about 3 month. For me, TKD is harder than shotokan. Thats prob cuz i did shotokan for years and ive not been doing TKD for that long. but TKD is quicker and i prefer tkd fighting to shotokan. Shotokan katas however, are so much better than TKD pattterns.

1kickKO Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 So what made you decide to quit shotokan and take up TKD? Was it just because you moved? Was it the school?
