Dablackbelt Posted February 12, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias_Reece Posted February 12, 2003 Share 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 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Ya...I think taekwondo is a little more 'flashy' with stuff like that... YS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryLove Posted February 12, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dablackbelt Posted February 12, 2003 Author Share Posted February 12, 2003 O.Ok but can you do loads of really good kicks and split kicks and stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryLove Posted February 12, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
