aefibird Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 In South Yorkshire (the UK county I live in) there's plety of TKD and karate schools, a smattering of kung fu & JKD places and a handful of 'other', which includes a BJJ school, an Iaido place and Ninjitsu. The most popular (as well as the ever-prevalent McDojang TKD) is kickboxing and boxing. Boxing is the traditional sport of this area - most towns, even the small places have at least 1 boxing gym and many of those offer kickboxing classes as well. "Was it really worth it?

We also have Muay tai , kick boxing , wrestling , aikido , judo , fencing .."where do u live?I find it hard to believe that there arent any tkd dojangs since it's like the worlds most popular style. https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKD has gain more popularity due to the fact that is an olympic sport, much less then karate, Judo and Kickboxing anyway... Kempo I think is something more related to the connection between Asia and USA... I don't know I would like to hear also the opinion of other european members. Is kempo popular in your country?
