When I started in martial arts I started in TKD.....fair dinkum it was pyjama poofery at its worst! :buttrock:

I think it's more due to the instructor then TKD in itself, more and more places are becoming girly probably because they are scared of being sued or what ever else.

I was doing TKD (hwa rang do) for couple of years and it was pretty good, you know it's for real when the instructor hits you for not listening lol. Was trained by this guy Master Myung Man Kim would go back again if I could make it to the classes.

good timing that this thread has come up this week, I'm looking at getting my eldest son, 8 yrs, into some martial arts to give him some self discipline, confidence and just to help learn to look after himself. I think its good for kids, I started Tae Kwon Do when I was about 12 and did that for 3 years and then 2 1/2 years of Judo really enjoyed both.

the 2 clubs I have found close to home are:

Go Kan Ryu Karate

Toogee Tae Kwon Do

Any one know much about these two?

I did Cheah Advanced Taekwondo, Arjucan Karate and BJC Muay Thai.

There are many different styles of TKD and the form I did was more aggressive than normal.

This made for good foundation knowledge to move onto the far more aggressive and brutal world of BJC Muay Thai.

In this day and age of brutallity in public (bashings)etc,my opinion is if you are going to invest your time and efforts in learning a skill you should go for what will help protect you against the violent attacks that prevail our cities and street today.

Yes Muay Thai is brutal and not for the faint hearted,however it is an excellent form of self defence.

Hands,feet,shins,knees and elbows mixed in with full on take downs and grapelling give you the skills to defend the violent types of attacks that we see these days.

Fight Fire with Fire.

Remember its not the size of the dog in the fight,

Its the size of the fight in the dog.

jeet kune do or mma both are a good mix of a few styles. striking is where its at but that's just my opinion. trained a few styles and learning a routine where you do this when he does that then he does that and you do this..is bulsh*t and boring. you learn from free sparing imo, only get that with mma, kickboxing and boxing, that's where the sport is, not learning a sequence of moves
