I have been studying Taekwondo since I was four years old. I am 19 now and hold a 3rd degree black belt in WTF Taekwondo. Next year i will be traveling to Korea to test for my 4th degree. I run a school at my college. I have done other martial arts but I would like to know the general consensus of Taekwondo.

I run a school at my college. I have done other martial arts but I would like to know what people think abou it. I am just curious i support TKD 110 percent.

I need to get the application for my black belt in WTF taekwondo. I don’t have a scanner, can I download this somewhere?

Just curious, but I have taken Taekwondo for over 5 years, and have yet to see any benefit to point sparring or one step sparring. But I will concede that perhaps I have been aloof to life as a whole during those 5 years. That in those 5 years of experience at WTF, ITF and yes even ATA schools, somehow I missed the point.

SO I turn to you, ohhh knowledgeable yahoo answers martial arts section. CORRECT my horrid logic of a fantastically brutal self defense art. Show me the error of my ways so as to be able to see how holding your hands down by your waste is effective. Or that kicking men off horse back is still a common occurrence.

For me, even with the bullshit politics of Taekwondo aside, I fail to see how it is ANYTHING but a sport. And as an amazing sport (which it is! and fun to watch on TV) should be regarded as anything but that. ITF makes a futal attempt at saying that because they use less pads for sparring, and allow head contact, that it somehow saves them?
I think if anything, it should be advertised as a fitness supplement, such as aerobics. BUT NOT A SELF DEFENSE ART.

So my question to you is where have I gone wrong? and can you provide some evidence to the contrary. Some video or something to show that TKD is “teh L337 D43th SkiLL!”
Watch this Testing video… this is the MAIN STREAM for TKD. Sorry if you dissagree… but there are thousands of schools that prove OTHERWISE!

lol Coop… did I hurt a feeling? Your other posts made no sense. All you did was bash me, not my info, but thats fine. Thats what happens to most people when they don’t know how to answer a question.

and that video was to show how the school is run… If you couldn’t figure that out, you belong someone else Coop boy.
LOL I’m sorry…… Ohhh god….

Saint G… finally… thank god someone gets it. I wasted sooo much time with that sport instead of a real martial art. Kinda makes me sad sometimes but then again I am only 24 and have many years left to train. I find it hard to believe that there are people out there that actually see TKD as anything but a hobby.
