aefibird Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Yes, cross training is great and can be done for many reasons. Not everyone will be a UFC fighter, but crosstraining can help with competition fighting, SD skills, self-confidence or even just done to have fun! The MAs that I train in suit me and I continue to train in them because I enjoy them, which is a major reason for training in anything, for most people. "Was it really worth it?

Sam Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 exactly - about to start complimenting my TKD with a grappling MA when i move house, as well as doing a bit of MT to get some harder training in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Lion Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) hey, sorry i didnt fully explained why i felt 2 months at that dojang would not be that beneficial:- its a small class (around 12 students) , with 80% of students younger than 8, and most of the other adults being some of their parents. we spend too much time on discipline, not enough on training imo, and practice is really structured for their age i would say. i like kids so it was fun, but i can see why people would be frustrated in class.- i certainly didnt look tradditional, something i would like. for instance, the headmaster and owner is a 1st dan, and his two assistants are 2nd and 3rd dan respectively.- its $100 a month!!! he said he could do something about the price, but being a college student i definitely dont want to pay much. especially considering the fact that i practice goju ryu at the university so its free.All in all, thanx to the class i attended to showed me how much cross training in general and tkd in particular can be valuable. it really made me look tkd much more favorably.

SBN Doug Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 ... for instance, the headmaster and owner is a 1st dan, and his two assistants are 2nd and 3rd dan respectively...The head master is a lower rank than the assistants?
