Icetuete Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Krav Maga certainly is better suited for the situation in the streets nowadays, while TKD is more traditional, has better looks, philosophy, meditation and stuff. but which one is the better workout? which one trains my cardio better? which one makes me more flexible? which one makes me stronger?
TJS Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Flexability =TKD early on. You dont do many high kicks/fancier kicks in KM untila bit later on.but which one is the better workout? Hard to say, Most KM schools offer sperate classes...My school offers a Fighting fittness class that is one of the hardest i have. AS far as the regular self defense classes they are pretty intese but i might give the edge to TKD
superfighter Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 if your Tae Kwon do school focuses more on the self defence side than the flashy side then i'd say Tae Kwon Do, although Krav Maga is still a really lethal martial art
TJS Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 if your Tae Kwon do school focuses more on the self defence side than the flashy side then i'd say Tae Kwon Do, although Krav Maga is still a really lethal martial art wouldent it be the opposite of what you just said? If he is speaking of Flexability/cardio/workout etc....then a TKD school that is more sport oriented is going to possible offer more than one teching realistic self defense/fighting.
Icetuete Posted July 24, 2003 Author Posted July 24, 2003 ....then a TKD school that is more sport oriented is going to possible offer more than one teching realistic self defense/fighting. hard to tell - i dont think its a matter of ITF/WTF (self defense/sport) whether its a good workout or not. it differs from school to school and from instructor to instructor. thats why i asked for TKD in general
