Dablackbelt Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 I do karate and I've noticed that the kicks aren't excactly high flying, spinnning, or anything really fancy. I was just wondering is Tae Kwondo just split kicks, high flying ones and stuff? DBB
Tobias_Reece Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 I do karate and I've noticed that the kicks aren't excactly high flying, spinnning, or anything really fancy You'd be surprised - some forms of karate do.I was just wondering is Tae Kwondo just split kicks, high flying ones and stuff?Not "just", but it is a basis. I'm sure many of the TKD people can help you out. Regards "You Are Never Given A Dream Without Also Being Given The Power To Make It True.

yellowsnow Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Ya...I think taekwondo is a little more 'flashy' with stuff like that... YS
Dablackbelt Posted February 12, 2003 Author Posted February 12, 2003 Does anyone actually do tae kwondo here? lol...
JerryLove Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Actually, I hold a moderate belt in it, from my very early days https://www.clearsilat.com
JerryLove Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 (edited) In a Dojang with 10 pre-black ranks (gups) I ended up purple (6th of 10). Was a long time ago . Edited February 12, 2003 by JerryLove https://www.clearsilat.com
Dablackbelt Posted February 12, 2003 Author Posted February 12, 2003 O.Ok but can you do loads of really good kicks and split kicks and stuff?
JerryLove Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Once upon a time. I can do many kicks right now I am very fond of, but they are not "Tae-kwon-Do'ish". After a bout with cancer (a tumor in my lower back) I lost much of the previous flexability. https://www.clearsilat.com
