To Munky & Heavy D,
It is true TKD has fancy kicks. Fancy routines that lead no-where? Maybe?
But I have researched the art, and one who understands the art knows its got te same punches as boxing, the same kicks and knees and elbows as Muay Thai.
The difference is, the style of the fight, a Muay Thai and Kickboxer fight via boxing and low kicks and mid-section kicks.
A Wing Chung fighter is way to fancy for the street. I wouldn't want to take the ricks of feeling the arms of my street fighter to get a sense of their next move.
I would chuck a punch first, a low lick second and wrestling last. The Muppets you both beat are probelly trying an sport TKD for a street fight, which is wrong,
or else they are not skilled.
Lastly, a belt means nothing, it just keeps the uniform in place.
Based on my research sport TKD is about kicking with the hands down.
Traditional TKD is a preety art form. Realistic practical Taekwondo looks like
a kickboxer in some cases.
The Dojangs (Dojo) Masters don't teach enough about real life application and how to combat other arts. I know I went to one for some time.
Hope this post as been helpful. Thanks to: voodoo_dude, Von Milash for posts.
