juey palancu Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 yeah, good point about comparisons. They can be very unfair. Regarding side vs squared stances, a lot of karate sparring is done form stances other than side stances, so that generalization is also potentialy misleading.
Jiffy Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 I know most of us have seen the Muay Thai vs. TKD video, so that might be a good reference point.It's very unfair to class all TKD practitioners based on a couple of video's where inexperienced TKD guys go head to head full contact with MT practitioners and lose. We had a 6 year veteren MT practitioner come into our school who kept making coments about how our methods were wimpy, and he missed his MT school. However when it came time for sparring they matched him with a 4 year brown belt and he got his butt kicked, and I mean really kicked. We're TKD people. LOLYou're right. As always, it depends on the person, not the art. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.

No offenses were intended. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
CTTKDKing Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 I don't personally take any offence to any coment about TKD, or any other art out there. I know what I can and can't do. I enjoy TKD so if someone wants to knock it then in my opinion I think they are missing out on a great fighting style. I just don't like it when people categorise all TKD practitioners based on what they saw in an online video once. It's irritating. As for you bushido_man96 I'm sure you didn't mean any offence so we good. "The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering."

Zorbasan Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 the idea of mixing MA isnt really a new concept. JKD and MMA are pretty much reliant on it. Now you use head for something other than target.
bushido_man96 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Posted September 18, 2006 the idea of mixing MA isnt really a new concept. JKD and MMA are pretty much reliant on it.Yeah, and don't forget about ancient Greek Pankration. Perhaps the first MMA event in the history of the world. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com

bushido_man96 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Posted September 18, 2006 You could just do a Wikipedia search on it, and I am sure you will come up with a history of the subject. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
