YoungMan Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Very true. I've noticed that if it is kept to the groin and knee region, it can be quite effective. Works very well from a sitting position too. There is no martial arts without philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marie curie Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 You may be able to find some training videos online that you could study before traveling somewhere so you get the most out of a short training period.

ps1 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 That is true but i learned a lot of the advanced kicks that 4th and 5th degrees do are from taekkyon I don't propose to be an expert of any kind when it comes to TKD or any Korean martial art for that matter. However, I have found in 22 years of practicing other martial arts that the "advanced techniques" come from hard work, not a particular style. If you want strong kicks, you will need to practice them over and over in a variety of ways. It doesn't matter what system you practice, nothing will replace the years of hard work. Additionally, "advanced" techniques are nothing more than basic techniques strung together in combination with other things. For example: you can't expect to have a good jumping side kick if your standing side kick isn't good. You can't expect to have a good jump spinning back kick if your back kick is off balance. (I'm not saying yours isn't good, just making general statements here). I realize this doesn't really answer your question in any way. Sorry for that. It looks like everyone says it's gonna be tough to find Taekyon. However, if it's eclectic kicking you want, caporeia, certain chuan fa systems, and even xma schools all teach and contain some fancy kicking. Have you tried any of those?

wingedMonkey Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 hmm, i was actually thinking of joining Capoeira also since there is a school near by but i think Taekkyon is more of a dream of mine to so i would still love to learn it.
