I’m really interested in martial arts, more like fighting. I’ve put interests in Taekwondo, and i would like to know the belt’s meaning and color in order… like For an example: White, Yellow, Green, Red… White means this, yellow means that… blah blah blah… Oh and i heard that there are still more levels to go through once you get your first black belt? help!!

Do you think that judges should be allowed to judge kata in styles they don;t have a clue about? An example is a judge who does Karate judging a tai-chi form.
I realize that at most tournaments the tournament staff is basically at the mercy of having to use what ever black belts show up as the judges. However there is no excuse for having judges sit and judge arts that are so different from what they have training in that they really don;t know what they are looking at. I’ve seen this many times. The judges will sit there and act as if they know what they are doing. Having been around the martial arts for many years It really makes me angry to see this happen. I have been asked to judge things that I did not feel qualified to judge. In such cases, I have declined and asked to be replaced. I imply will not sit and pretend I know something I do not. It is not fair to the competitors.
Several good answers here. I agree with a lot of what I see here. John mentioned another of my pet peeves about judging. I really think that all divisions should have five judges per ring. That is important for kata and Kumite. How many times I have seen someone get robbed in Kumite because there were less than five judges.
for example if your kid asked you how to defend himself against a bully or if someone messes with him. what would you teach him
boxing-
kick-boxing-
karate/ kung fu/ etc-
dirty street fighting-
i’v taken katate for some time now and i was wondering of some things about it like for example kung fu is alot about speed or take wan do is a lot of power whats karate
anyone know any good kung fu movies where they exaggerate it like a whole bunch for example kick something so hard fire starts coming out of it.
