    so what is your question?

    if you want to learn mma, then tkd is a waste of time.... probably a waste of time anyway. It requires incredible skill and athleticism, but really doesn't serve any purpose other than in a tkd tourney.

    be careful, most tkd schools say if you kick high, then naturally your low kicks will be good...this is not only false but stupid... learn to box, from a coach that can box. do mma if you want to do mma, but even thai boxing isn't mma and just grappling isn't either. find a reputable school don't waste money on a starter art...

    but, if you can't find a legit mma school, then i would say boxing/kickboxing, muay thai, judo and bjj are a great place to start. IMO it's good to have a solid foundation and build off it.

    i agree, judo, wrestling are both olympic spotrs and a good base, so is boxing but keep in mind all i mean ALL arts need to be modified before you can just jump in and do mma...boxers stance is too narrow and a thai stance can be too wide...etc etc..and tkd? well all things being the same skill set wise, a thai guy will really really hurt your legs...

    Taiquando is mainly about flashy performances. Those fancy spinning backkicks may be powerful, but someone quick could nail you in the back of the head while doin' a spin back kick.
    Two sounds - Me hitting you and you hitting the floor.<br />I have to hope you ain't a girl you nitwit.
