Ti Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 TKD too slow. Wing Chun much faster and responsive. Muay Thai works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treebranch Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 If you could come up with a fighting style that would work for any situation, it wouldn't be TKD. If people enjoy doing it then that's all that matters. I personally studied it, I didn't enjoy it.

Icetuete Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 yeah, ur probably right, but is there such a style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 There are certain styles that come close. I would say that Combat Styles (real one's) fit the bill quite well.

Black Dragon Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 When people dismiss TKD as "simply" a kicking art it shows how ignorant they are. They dont know enough about it to make an informed opinion. I would never criticize BJJ from what I see on TV, I would first do research and maybe take a few classes. Sure WTF focuses on kicks, but that is by no means a weakness. You mean to tell me you'd make short work of a 3rd degree black belt in WTF TKD? Also ITF focuses on punches, kicks, grapples, and weapons. It is just as much a martial art as anything else! It burns me up that nobody dismisses Judo, Boxing, Wushu, or Muay Thai for being a sport like they do TKD. It says alot about someone when they use you to make themselves look better. By using TKD as a measuring stick, these others are inadventendly reinforcing our signifigance as one of the most effective and widely practiced martial arts. So recognize or be hospitalized Cuz literally on a scale from one to ten I'm 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
