He'll make sure that you do break fall until you tolong ah~!

 

Break fall is nothing as compared to doing SPLITS!

[auc]

Splits are overrated... Able to do a good breakfall is alot more useful....

haha... i think the hand break first sia...

[talos]

hmm.....i wunder if anyone here learns Aikido as well.....cos i know the basics but dunno how to apply

[601biker]

Hmm . . . think Aikido & Tai Ji Quan (the sparring kind) are good for gals for self defence, since they teach techniques for defeating a larger opponent by using their force against themselves . . .

[auc]

Agree ONLY if you can find a real Tai Chi Master who is trained in the combative part of the style. Not those who only know how to do the movements.

[stanboy]

hihi...hee...mi in2 karate...ani1 else???

[Dragstar]

try to find taekwondo, and this thread is sunk to old old post back in year 2003.

 

I am ITF 2nd DAN.

[madman]

I just wish to let you guys know, orignal TKD includes lotsa self-defence, incl. breaking fall techniques, tongfa, knife defence, sparring & patterns, pole pattern, defence and sparring etc...Therefore, it is not just constraint to kicking and punching.

 

You didnt know this cos only the pioneer group of TKD instructors learn these.

 

BTW, there is no TKD in the army and police anymore, for your info. Only tactical defence techniques taught by their own "trainers", who may or may not be certified blackbelts.

 

All forms of martial art is good, both for fitness and self-defence.

 

Example : A yellow belt (karate) can spar better than a blue (TKD) does not mean TKD is no good. It is how well you understand the various techniques and it's execution, together with practise that makes the difference.

 

Just pursue any martial art forms that you have interest in and do not let others desuade you from learning, as they do not understand the true form and meaning.

TKD is not meant for outside fighting , it to learn some self defense and confidents. Maybe if next time your friends feel not happy about their pattern around , do fight them in the ring but not going around and hit them. thanks

 

There are champions awaiting for challanges like your friend there

those who understand taekwondo will not do street fight.

I learned Karate, TKD and Aikido. All martial art emphasize on 'DAO' .. is the art of patience.

 

Is how well you control your kick/punch but how hard you kick, is how well you control your temper but not how well you can street fight

madman, i am consider lucky where joining kinda 'original' TKD and have opportunity to learn all these you mentioned.

 

Just to further emphasize how the TKD formed and how it being splitted.

 

Taekwondo is origin from Korea.. however, when Korea being splitted to North Korea and South Korea, the Taekwondo also being splited to ITF and WTF.

ITF stand for International Taekwondo Federation and WTF stand for World Taekwondo Federation.

 

Unfortunately, the founder of the TKD is at North Korea, and is fall under ITF. North Korea is a communist country and the martial art there is not recognised by Olympic.

 

Where the WTF (which not the origin TKD) is fall under the non-communist country. Where the Olympic is recognised it.

 

So, what we are looking in the TV or what you have learned in Sinagpore is actually WTF but not the founder's ITF.

 

In last 3 years, when the founder passed away, sadly to say that the TKD being further splitted. and now, we hardly see the 'original' TKD now.

 

The differences between ITF and WTF is different emphzsis. ITF emphasis on the art but WTF emphasis on the sport.

 

Further info you can PM me
