Knifehand007 Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Just wondering the spread of styles on the forum. Why did you pick your style. What challenges you? Strength is no match for skill
karatekid1975 Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 I actually did both (TSD first). But as a guess, I think TKD is more popular on this forum (this is only out of the Korean styles). I picked TSD because I fell in love with the school I attended, not just the style. The people were great, the instructor was great, and the workouts were tough. My instructor mixed in other styles as well. I do TKD now because I moved. I couldn't find a TSD school close (most are 3 hours away), so I wanted a style similar to TSD. So I picked TKD. Laurie F
SBN Doug Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Neither, I've never practiced either of them. However, if I had to guess, I would say Tang Soo Do. It apparently has more of the grappling techniques I like in Kuk Sool Won. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.
NineTailedFox Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 I have never studied either arts, but my friend is a second dan in TSD, he likes it a lot.
karatekid1975 Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 It does have a bit of grappling ... at least, the way my instructor taught it. I did like it a lot. TSD rules Ok, Ok, my TKD dojang isn't that bad LOL. I just miss my home dojang Laurie F
Knifehand007 Posted February 9, 2005 Author Posted February 9, 2005 Rock On! TSD is the only MA i got serious in. My first MA was a generic karate school. I was 8 and fat.... but now i'm 19 and still fat... but i got the discipline to stick with it this time!! The Dans in TSD are also really cool. Except the one that kicked me in the face.... oh i'll get him...::shakes fist:: (jk - A little passive aggressive) The forms are cool, sparring is great, and i'm actually learning it and i feel great afterwords... Strength is no match for skill

Just out of curiousity, where did/do you train TSD? I'm no longer posting here. Adios.

ninjanurse Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 My original style was TSD-it is what ignited my passion for the martial arts. I have since done 3 variations of TKD and I find them all to share similarities with TSD-some more than others depending on the syle of the instructor. If you watch me spar or do poomse and you were familiar with the differences between TSD and TKD you would be able to see that I was "patterned" by TSD but am able to compliment both styles. My belief is that ALL syles of martial arts share the same techniques, theories and knowledge, and that eventually they all come together, however, the journey to get there is different for each style-the path taking a different route to the top of the mountain for each one.

karatekid1975 Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 You are definitely right about that, Heidi! I seen you do forms, and my mouth drops every time. Amazing technique! Anyways, I can see the "TSD" in your forms. I do the same when I'm not thinking about it LOL. Laurie F
