Finding a good school in Maryland

[orion82698]

I'm in the Baltimore area, and I'm looking for a great school for TKD. I guess what I'm looking for is a place that is not focused so much on the sport, but more the traditional art. Also, in TKD, can you train with weapons?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

If your looking for more traditional type of training then I would go with ITF style of TKD. The schools I have seen that are WTF focus on Sport type of fighting.

Www.google.com Then click on the local button.

I have family in Baltimore but I can't recall any TKD schools, then again I wasn't there to look for a school. But I am sure there are quite a few. I think Caroll? County has some to but that a bit of a drive I'd search in your area first.

Typically In TKD there's the bo, Tonfas and the Sai. I could be wrong but that's all that was offered in most fo the TKD schools here. Now if you learn a mixture of TKD with other thigns this my differ. It all depends on the school I guess.

ALWAYS check and see if they offer a free of charge day or 2 if not it looks like theya're out for the money. Any teacher who was interested in teaching wouldn't charge you wihtout letting you see it first. And the Intsructor shouldn't be like in the movies where they yell at you for doing a pushup wrong or a tehcnique wrong, that's a sign of a horrible teacher or either that or a really tough on you kinda guy and I don't feel it's a good idea to run into one of those before you have any expirience.

My 2cents and some pocket lint.

There is a good school at UMBC (Sports club for students and related), but some non-students attend, too.

Check with your parks/recreation in your area - some of them are pretty good for not too much money.

I go to Winand (Elementary) Taekwondo in Pikesville (restarts 9/14)

I choose the Jhoon Rhee school.

So far, I'm loving it. The head instructor has taken time to help me with my stretching technique and stance!

The Jhoon Rhee school gave me one month free to try it out.
