Nice to meet you Chazz.

Our school also has CardioKickboxing (I teach along with other black belts incorporating kickbox/TKD techniques.... very NOT like TaeBo!)
I weight train and am totally into fitness .... currently pursuing my 2nd dan (13 lessons more!)
Nice to meet you all!

[Jack]

Welcome Deb. :)

I'm currently 4th kyu, in a non-affiliated TKD school. We train both for sport and self defence, and use the Palgue forms.

[Chazz]

WOW
we have 5 people that have told us that they take TKD. I know there is more of you out there. Come let us know who you are and where you are from and all that great info that you want to tell us!!!!

[mattsylvester]

I currently study Chang Hun style TKD with South West Independent Freestyle Tae Kwon Do (SWIFT) in Exeter, Devon, England and will also hopefully be teaching (with SWIFT) Practical TKD which will have a lot of pressure points, sweeps and takedowns that can be found in the patterns.

To learn more about SWIFT go to http://www.practical-martial-arts.co.uk/swift/home.html

To learn more about Practical Martial Arts please feel free to go to http://www.practical-martial-arts.co.uk/swift/home.html

[waya]

Thankfully I am no longer the only one here that practices WTF forms lol, although the defenses we do are much different (all from the Hapkido classes that are taught seperately as well). I am not suprised to see so few WTF stylists here though, as most of the schools I have trained in were very closed off to exposure with other systems and persons training them. Hopefully that will change, I think we could have some interesting debates on the contrasts and similarities between the two, as well as all the sub systems and lesser known systems that are out there.

Welcome TKD student mattsylvester

Nice to see you on the forum. If you dont mind me asking what age and rank are you?

[mattsylvester]

Hiya,

I'm 28 and 3rd Kup. I've deen doing ITF-based (no sine wave, hip twist) TKD on and off for 11 years. I also study Ao Denkou Jitsu (pressure points), Kempo Ryu Karate and Shunryu Kempo Karate and I've also started boxing training. I'm hoping to get a few classed in Machado JJ in as well sometime :0)

[Melanie]

WOW! A post without a link! Well done Matt ;)

hello, though this is old-I'm new and it's nice to see a site with so many involved people! My style is Chun do Quon TKD WTF.
I've been involved in this style for seven years after 20year hiatus from kyrikoshinkae karate. Between the two I couldn't pick what I think is best because both instructors and schools were and are great!
Keep up the training and focus.
darlph

[Sweeet]

I can't really say I'm 'studying' TKD, but my Instructor has a 5th dan in TKD (ITF, I believe) and although the main art is Hapkido, the kicks I'm sure are similar if not identical in some cases, and with some of them, I believe we are learning kicks exclusive to TKD, so I'm 'kind-of' studying TKD :)

Sweeet.

[Sweeet]

Ooh, forgot to mention - I train in Calgary, Alberta, Canada - my school's name is just 'Korean Martial Arts School'. It's not listed or advertised, fairly discreet, and is located fairly south in the city. If anyone would like the address, PM or email me.

Sweeet.

hi im a 3rd dan in TKD WTF, WTF style is a joke unless all U want to do is spar that is. it's nothing but sport in 99% of the schools U go 2 B cuz that's were the money is. and a street fight isn't a sporting thing, sorry. most WTF TKD people couldn't beat a strong 3 year old in a street fight :O) and don't get me started on certification. hapkido and jeet kund do is the way to go.

i just saw this last post. i have met and trained with Master Rhee....he's a *******. He is everything U don't want to B as a person and a martial artist. How he has such a great rep. is beyond me. But i can C haw TKD instructors think he's so great the one's that R just after money that is. Bruce Lee tried to get him in the movies but he's ugly no one wanted him in there film :O)

hi I'm from New Zealand. I'm new to the forum.

I've been doing ITF Taekwon-Do for about two years now and have my 1st dan. I've competed in both WTF and ITF.

I've been doing Karate and Kickboxing for quite a bit longer.

[Melanie]

Hiya Sabaki

Welcome to our little forum :D Chazz will be pleased that theres more TKD people :)

Just wondering what karate style you are doing now?

[Sabaki]

Thanks Melanie.

I'm doing a style very similar to Ashihara Karate (which I did previously). If you are not familiar with the Ashihara style we have our roots in Kyokushinkai - if that helps. Our style is called Seishin-Ryu.

I assume you do Shotokan? Judging by the tiger beneath your name. How long have you been training?

Errr I have to agree here ..... I've been doing ITF TKD since 196 and my first lesson we were taught the reason ITF TKD is so powerful is because we use these things,

Sounds like a McDojang.... sorry but I love that phrase :D

Just wanted to say welcome to all of the new TKD members to this site. Ive been out for a while but i hope to see you all around.

[whitematt]

This is a bit late, but I did just get here.

I'm in central Iowa and have been involved in TKD since 1984. I started with a WTF organization and trained under (now) Grandmaster Woo Jin Jung.

After a brief sabbatical from structured training, I returned to TKD. I am currently involved with the ATA (American Taekwondo Association) and train Songahm TKD. I am currently ranked as a 2nd dan, and will test for my 3rd dan at the end of February 2003. (Not that belts matter as much as hard work.)

[KickChick]

:) well, I've been "away" for a bit, but I do plan on frequenting this forum more often.

Since I last posted here (1st page) I had 13 lessons to go for 2nd dan. Well, I did test this past September and now I am 2nd dan TKD (Chung Do Kwan-style) and our school, as I may have mentioned to chazz when I first joined here, is a member of ITU. (although they haven't listed us on their site yet!!! :confused: :rolleyes: )

Anyway I see some familiar faces and I hope to bring some more TKD people (& others to this forum!)

[darlph]

Congrats and welcome back!

[KarateKid1975]

Hiya Deb. Welcome back ;)

[Melanie]

Well done SahBumNihmDeb!

We would be happy to see more members and look forward to hearing how your actual Dan grading got on. Perhaps a short write up?

[Chazz]

Yes, Welcome back Deb. Im glad to hear of the testing. Also glad to see another ITU member in here. I hope Master Merritt Gets you all on the site soon. Email them to ask about it.

[KickChick]

Thanks for the welcome!
... and the congrats!

The testing went very well considering I had to learn 2 additional forms in order to meet the (ITU) requirements for 2nd dan. We had just joined a month prior to my testing. So I had about 5 weeks to learn Gae-Bek and Po-Eun along with Kwang Gae.

I also did my breaking requirements which were 2 speed break techniques (kick /punch) ... I did roundhouse and hook punch.

As of last night only 260 more lessons until 3rd dan .... :eek:

[TkdWarrior]

congrats for 2nd Dan kickchick...
-TkdWarrior-

[Chazz]

WOW Sounds Great. I hope that i will be able to test soon.

But I am in Westerville Ohio.It is called Ernie Rayes Karate.But when we go there they teach us Tea kwon doe.

WTF= World Taekwon-Do Federation
others notably
muk do kwan, oh do kwan, etc(phew i m forgetting names)

[KickChick]

I can help!
Chung Do Kwan, Moo Duk Kwan, Yun Moo Kwan, Chang Moo Kwan, and Chi Do Kwan (the originals), Ji Do Kwan, Song Moo Kwan, and Oh Do Kwan (founded in the 50's).
Also... the American Taekwondo Association which is a smaller organization similar in some ways to the ITF.

[Chazz]

*L* I was about to say the samy thing Deb. But that i was talking about is what style forms/katas/poomse do you do. ITF would be Chon-Ji, Do-San, Dan Gun....

[kchenault]

Well, I live in Lawrence, KS. I am 32 (33 in 3 days). I have studied WTF MDK TKD, and now am studying ITF MDK TKD at www.nhtkd.com. My instructors are Masters Don and Susan Booth, who studied under Grandmaster Woo Jin Jung in Cedar Rapids, IA. We have a connection there whitematt! Mr. Booth is a student of his from back in the days when he first started his school here in the states. My ranks are in my sig at the bottom.

Pilsung!

[KickChick]

...actually chazz I was helping out TkdWarrior with his memory....

Our forms are called the Chang-Hon (Blue Cottage) hyungs. The Chang-Hon (better known as the Chon-ji) forms are considered the most traditional and the oldest.

When I first started at our school we were also required to learn the Palgwe set of forms ... fortunately they were dropped from our curriculum.

Early Happy Birthday~~~~ Ken!!! http://smilies.networkessence.net/s/otn/party/party.gif

I started learing some of them too. I didnt like them all too much.

Happy Bday

Thanks folks!

[John G]

Hi everyone,

KickChick sent me over to take a look at the forums.

As for me, I live and work in a place called Wundowie, located 60Km east of Perth Western Australia.

In my spare time I enjoy learning ITF Taekwon-do at the Low Taekwon-do Academy under the watchful eye of Master Low, Ming Tuck (seventh dan).

I look forward to sharing ideas and suggestions with all martial artists regardless of what federation or martial art you may train in.

Respectfully,

[kchenault]

[...studied under Grandmaster Woo Jin Jung in Cedar Rapids, IA. We have a connection there whitematt!]

It appears we do, although I haven't seen GM Jung in many years. I stopped training with him in '87. He had/has a very successful school and even authored a book, "Freestyle Sparring."

I myself just successfully completed my testing requirements and received my 3rd degree BB. If all proceeds according to current plan I will be opening my first school in the next few weeks.

Matt White

[kchenault]

Will you be opening with an affiliation to him or just on your own? My instructors still do quite a bit in conjunction with GM Jung.:)

[Ti-Kwon-Leap]

Hello everyone, I currently study at USWESTCOAST TAEKWONDO here in portland.

Although it's WTF affiliated, Olympic style sparring is one day a week (friday) and on weekends(optionally) if you are a competitor, through a special Olympic style training class.
From what I have read about WTF schools in general our classes are far from typical.

I am fortunate to belong to a school that spends a lot of time on practical self defense as well as encouraging students to attend various seminars (hapkido/BJJ/etc,) to round out one's training.
We also are expected to learn ITF forms after attaining black belt ranking.

I have seen WTF cometitors with their hands hanging like useless appendages at their sides so I know exactly where the ridicule comes from.

I have a fair amount of knowledge and experience in several different styles so I can compare this with my current school and I think that the classes teach practical skills.
My current plan is to continue TKD and supplement this with BJJ as I have become fascinated with it's practical effectiveness.

[Tosh]

Welcome, Sounds like a pretty cool class Ti-Kwon!!

What constitutes your typical week of training?

[KickChick]

Welcome Ti-Kwon-Leap ...!!

I am also looking into bjj ... (just trying to find the time for it between teaching & training)

Nice to know that your WTF-style in an exception to the norm...
:D

[whitematt]

kchenault:

[Will you be opening with an affiliation to him or just on your own? My instructors still do quite a bit in conjunction with GM Jung]

I wasn't quite clear when I stated I hadn't trained under GM Jung since '87.

I have been training with the ATA and received my current ranking from them. The school will have an ATA affiliation.

Matt White

[kchenault]

Well good luck and God bless!

[Ti-Kwon-Leap]

Thanks guys.
A typical week of training is as follows although they surprise us quite often to keep us flexible:

Monday: Forms and Hapkido self defense drills.

Tuesday: Blackbelt club: technique refinement, leadership skills and reality training (using what you have learned against suprise attacks)

Wednesday: punching/kicking drills.

Thursday Blackbelt club

Friday: I usually spar but it's a little frustrating because they have these "rules" :rolleyes: :woo: :woo: :woo:

[Kwan Jang]

-I am new to this forum. My name is David Hughes and I have been training in TKD under Ernie Reyes and Tony Thompson since 1977. Our schools have expanded our cirriculum via cross-training to also include Jujitsu(Braz. & Small Circle), Arnis/Escrima, Muay Thai and American Kenpo. The TKD portion of our curiculum is still comprehensive to the martial art. Also, some of our students do compete in Olympic(WTF)-style competiton. Being a member of the West Coast Demo Team has given me an oppurtunity to share with and learn from some great martial artists and wonderful people over the years. I own the Nashville, Tn,-area locations of Ernie Reyes' World Martial Arts.

I'm fairly new here too, been blethering for a week or two on this site now. My name is Mark Davies & I'm an alcoholic.......... OH B**##R WRONG SITE:D I started trainingin shotokan back in 1982, then moved over to ITF TKD in 1984 with former ITF world champion Mr Gordon Wallace. Currently I teach full time, teaching ITF TaeKwon-Do & my own system, Tactical Edge. As well as teaching civillian classes I teach close quarter countermeasures within the special operations military community. I'm a big fan of the filipino martial arts, which I've been studying for about 15 years or so, & anything elase that's 'interesting'. Just started training in capoeira, & it's great fun trying to break my own neck instead of someone elses;) Hope you enjoy the forum as much as I do, greetings from Scotland.

Hi to everyone!
This is my first time to this forum. I have been studing TKD since 2001 under Hai Tran. Currently I am a high yellow with hopes to test to green at the end of the month. :D At my school we learn traditional TKD, along with Akido styles of self-dense. We also have a Black Belt Club which allows us to study weapons such as numchucks and the bo staff, or Judo style grappling. And our Fridays allow for in depth sparring!! What a great way to end the week!!:)

Hi Leggylass

Is the Hai Tran you train with ITF Master Tran? I was training with master Tran a couple of weeks ago (also with Master Marano & Trajtenberg from Argentina, & Master Bos from Italy). If it's the same Master Tran he was excellent & did a very enjoyable stint at the international course.
Rocky mountains huh, niiiiiice. I'm lucky here where I live as I'm right on the coast, but 30 minutes inland & I'm up in the hills.

I wish that I could say that he in one in the same, but no, he is a different Tran. He is Kwan Jang Nim Tran, and also holds several titles for Tri-State kickboxing tournament championships within the USA. I will find out more about the different tournaments he's competed in...Kwan Jang Nim is one amazing person!!

http://www.tkd-boston.com/

[kchenault]

Welcome. You are fortunate to have a Grandmaster who teaches his students.

[KickChick]

I must say totalkayos that your school has totally impressed me! I suggest fellow TKD members check out your school's link (especially the "What we Offer", and "Philosophy")

I wish I lived closer to the Boston area ... I'd love to train there!
I just may check it out though when I'm in the area. (I live on the east coast).
Thanks for posting the link and welcome to you!

[kchenault]

Doesn't the integrated TKD sparring sound great? Man I would love that. Tell him to expand west to Kansas, say the Lawrence area.

[totalkayos]

the integrated sparring is great. no holds barred. when someone is knocked down the oppenet is free to use what ever they know to make the person submit. we do some ho shin sool (tkd grappling) training too, which i really like.

[whitematt]

1ONEfighting:

Congrats on signing up with the ATA. I've been a member for a few years now (had been WTF), and just recently opened up a school.

Lots of really great things in the curriculum that you probably won't see from other TKD schools.

Is it just me or is it getting hot in here??

;)

[Artikon]

Ya ya Tosh, ITF are a bunch 'o karate wannabes :D

I mean . . . ACK!!!!! :eek:

[beta_b]

Hi all,

Just came across this site tonight, and have spent most of the night reading the posts in the forums instead of doing my homework :).

I'm currently studying TKD with Rawlins TKD in Perth, Western Australia, doing Oh Do Kwan and loving it!

[Chazz]

Well welcome to the MAP. Im sure you will like our site and feel free to post.

[KickChick]

Glad that you happened upon MAP and also for "checking in" here in Tae Kwon do.... we have quite the crowd here now of TKDoists!!!

Tae Kwon do .... how can you not love it??:) ... but don't neglect your homework!! ;)

[booksie_girl]

Hi beta_b

I do Oh Do Kwan in Toowoomba QLD, but I was told that the only other Oh Do Kwan was in Sydney. It wasn't my instructor who told me that, so the info must have been wrong :D. Good to see you, and it's great to find out that Oh Do Kwan isn't as rare as I thought :D

[Chazz]

You all are in good company in here TKD and in the MAP ;-)

[beta_b]

booksie_girl - it's all good :). I've been told that we only have Oh Do Kwan in Perth but a friend of mine says her daughter does TKD with a different belt system to ours so not quite sure about that - anyone else from WA here that's heard different?

[Who am I?]

Hi,
I'm studing WTF TKD with Manuel Jurado in oaxaca , does anyone no who he is?

[Chazz]

I have no clue who he is. You can tell us if you want.

[TheBorderer]

Well chazz your guess is as good as mine! :p

Ach some of you will have seen me posting 'here there and everywhere' on MAP (I take it it's not just me who can be on here for 'a while'? :rolleyes: ) ), but I might as well say "Hi folks" here, as I do ITF (as Yoda would say "In The Face!" )style TKD, indeed under the instruction's of tosh (is that enough of a plug Nathan? :D )and have to say my first year of TKD has been challenging but good to learn and to have fun! Hope to grade to Green-tag (7th Kup) this August when hopefully Grand Master Rhee pays us a visit... I think I should be ok, I hope(!) :confused: (you're going to reasure me here Nathan, right? ;) )

[mattsylvester]

You could consider ITF TKD to be Chung Hun TKD as it practices the Chang Hun Tul/Hyung. Chang Hun means Blue Cottage and was the pen name of General Choi.

But where does ITF GO IN?? what style is ITF??

[mattsylvester]

Hi all,

I have been training in Chang Hun TKD for a few years and spent six months training with Luigi Melis of the WTF in Maastricht whilst at uni. I found nothing better to open someone's guard than to fake a punch/backfist to the face before kicking them. Worked all the way through the ranks. Try it. The rules are you can't score with techniques like that and can't hit the head yeah? Doesn't mean you can't throw the techniques out muahahahahaaaaaaa :)

[mattsylvester]

Hiya,

Do you do the Poomse style of CDK or the Pyong-an?

Since I last posted here (1st page) I had 13 lessons to go for 2nd dan. Well, I did test this past September and now I am 2nd dan TKD (Chung Do Kwan-style) and our school, as I may have mentioned to chazz when I first joined here, is a member of ITU. (although they haven't listed us on their site yet!!! :confused: :rolleyes: )

Anyway I see some familiar faces and I hope to bring some more TKD people (& others to this forum!)

[mattsylvester]

In the UK you had the UKTA. Then they split and the UKTA and the TAGB were present.

Then the TAGB split again into the UTAE and UTAW and finally the GTI. Oh, and now you also have PUMA too.

I'm note sure where the GTF came from however as I started to lose track :)

BUT ... the ITF introduced the Sine Wave. The TAGB, although practicing the Chang Hun Hyung kept the hip twist rather than introducing the Sine Wave. Funny as now that PUMA have broken away from TAGB they have re-joined the ITF and introduced the Sine Wave.

The style of TKD that I practice has also kept the hip twist. Why? I personally find that the sine wave is too hard to learn after nearly 11 years, is too slow, I don't like the way it looks and the maths behind it is wrong accordning to a number of very brainy people I know and respect.

Hope that answers your question.

[mattsylvester]

Hi all,

If you're into trickz then I seriously suggest you travel up to Sheffield to train with Ashley Beck (http://www.ashelybeck.com) as he is awesome. I recently drove up and had the time of my life training semi-contact with his father but have also trained with Ashley when he came to Dawlish Warren.

Hey all :)

A belated post but never mind...

I'm another (well fairly) newbie finally getting found to posting ;)
I do be a 5th gup ITF-er from New Zealand

[booksie_girl]

Hi, and welcome to the nuthouse... I mean forum. If you're at least marginally insane, you'll have lots of fun :D

[firesprite]

I prefer to think of myself as ...eccentric...

[firesprite]

:D

[booksie_girl]

I didn't mean to say that you're a nut, I don't know you well enough to judge yet, but for most of us . . . :D

[firesprite]

No worries Who'd want to be normal anyway?
And who can u call someone normall who would willingly spend several hours a week doing pushups and being kicked in the head (or stomach or ribs or...) normal? :D

[booksie_girl]

That must be why my friends think I'm insane or maybe it's..... or...... or..... :D

[firesprite]

Personally I think its catching.... ..all my friends decided on my insanity before I started tkd... (hmm.... maybe thats why I started... always did wonder why I kept going :D)

[booksie_girl]

You sound quite a bit like me. :D You're going to fit in on this forum just fine.

[Chazz]

Sometimes you see threads come and go but this one has stuck around. This was one of the first post that i made.

I just want to say again Welcome to ALL the tkd people in the map. For a while i was one of/ if not the only TKD person that posed on here and now there are a lot of us. Im so happy. lol

[djhallib]

Hi all

I've been here for maybe three weeks (don't remember) now, but only just saw this post now. I know its wayy old, but I thought I'd get my intro in here too.

I'm a yellow belt WTF TKD and live in Reykjavík, Iceland.

I started physical training about two and a half years ago and TKD training about a year ago. We have two tests in a year, so a blackbelt in two years, like some of you have been talking about, is beyond me. I have a weird obsession to always be the best at what I do, so I train hard and train alot.

I'm an avid enthusiast about workouts, workout physiology and muscle anatomy and so forth, and have enjoyed countless hours of researching the excercised muscle. Some of you may have noticed I'm most active in "Health and Fitness" where I constantly try to but in any little bit of pointless knowledge I possess in order to make myself look better. (That was only partly true, you may choose the part you believe, HAHAHA :)

My TKD school is wtf as I said, as are all TKD schools in iceland (there are 7, but all small) and the one I'm with is least focused on Olympic sparring. I do however compete in olympic sparring in the -68kg weight class, and about 55% of my training is devoted to that goal. That includes stuff that counts towards other stuff too, like weight lifting and cardio workouts. I practice the basics alot on my own, which probably helps my sparring, but I don't count that in.

So far I've remained flawless on my tests (and have been the only one to do so). My instructors are 3. degree black belt (who got his 3. dan about one and a half months ago) Sverrir Tryggvason and 1. dan (qualified about the same time as other) Joel Kristinn. Originally, my club was founded by Master Michael Jorgensen from norway, but he no longer teaches here, since he is now the national coach for Norway's olympic sparring tkd team.

Thats about all the relevent info I can give you about me, my training and my TKD club. I've really enjoyed my time in the forums, and expect I will in continue to do so.

[KickChick]

Welcome djhallib !

I must say that I have enjoyed your posts and like yourself, am an avid fitness enthusiast!

Looking forward to hearing more from you!

[djhallib]

Thanks alot kickchick!

I must say, I've been enjoying your posts very much also!
Keep up the good postin' :)

Like KC said, welcome to the MAP.

Wow, that's pretty good. Go TKDers on MAP. Rah rah rah :D

[KickChick]

“Tae Kwon Do is practiced by 50 million people in 160 different countries. If everyone who studied Tae Kwon Do joined hands, they could form a line that would stretch around the globe 1.25 times" ... my new sig!


Let's start with a circle going around MAP!

Chazz ... I see you've spent some time forumulating that list... good work! Now let's get some of those members back in here to post!
..hey we can't do it all:)

[Stewart]

Hi to all

Generally I only have enough time to have a read at the latest threads posted on the TKD forum, but I thought this time I would help to keep the TKD list going

I have been training in TKD for about 7 years (couple of long breaks in there) and I am currently 1st Kup, I am looking to go for my Black belt grading at the start of next year.

I am a member of the TAGB in Scotland and as long as I have been reviewing the threads, I have not came across anyone else who is part of this association.

Is there anyone out there who is part of the TAGB or part of the Taekwondo International (TKDI)

[waya]

Welcome Stewart.
You're the first I recall seeing from that org, but hopefully others will be lurking around or follow you in :)

[Chazz]

"Chazz ... I see you've spent some time forumulating that list... good work! Now let's get some of those members back in here to post!
..hey we can't do it all"

Deb.
Well i'll look around at some of the TKD people and see if i can email some to get them back here. Feel free to do the same.

[oni]

ITF first dan. Been having the time of my life for the past ten years. Now I teach classes at a local rec center and continue to train with my instructor

[Kaine]

I am only a yellow belt green strip.however I love TKD and I train every day out here on my farm, so really thats all that matters.

[Chazz]

Well welcome to the MAP Oni & Kaine. You make TKD Check In members 41 and 42. If you are interested in who all does TKD there is a post above with a list of name. Feel free to chat and post until you go crazy. (become like the rest of us)

Go "crazy"? Hey no one told me about that as 'side effects' of being a memeber of MAP! :eek:

Anything else I have to be aware of? :D

[djhallib]

Yeah. The chances are that no one here is posting disguised messages of love to you. If you think you are seeing an imagined declaration of love, you are probably wrong. Do not stalk another member of the Map, even if you think they are in love with you. If needed, ask them if they do love you before following or even harrassing them anonymously.

Just a friendly tip.

[Taeho]

Hi my name is Shane and I'm a sr. blue belt. I've been studying TKD with my 2 sons for a year now. It is the best thing I've ever done! We belong to the International Taekwondo Alliance.

I practice "Chang-Hun" style TKD.

Ahhh, is 43 the number of TKD students on this forum?

Thanks for the site visit. I will be making some additions soon.

[Thomas]

I originally "checked in" on the "Hey Chazz" thread... and am not sure if I got "counted" with the others... so I'll check in again:

I train in the North Country of New York State (USA) in a small town called Potsdam (with two Universities: SUNY Potsdam and Clarkson). I have been with the master of the Potsdam school since 1994. Originally we were under a Korean grandmaster who has since retired.

The grandmaster's original style is Oh-Do-Kwan and we learn ITF forms and the Taegook forms... both are required for testing. Our ranking is through the WTF (Kukkiwon).

After the grandmaster's retirement, my master went on his own and we have joined the Independent Taekwondo Association (ITA), under the umbrella of GM Pelligrini and the ICHF. We have kept our curriulum the same but have added more time for Hapkido (ICHF) and offer ranking in both. In the ITA, we can get rank certification under ITF or WTF or may choose ITA ranking (much cheaper).

Currently we hold classes at Clarkson University as a club but hope in the near future to set up a new school downtown.

On a personal note, I departed Potsdam as a red belt and lived/trained in Korea for 4 years... testing for the following levels listed below. In a couple weeks, I will be testing for 3rd dan in TKD.

[Artikon]

Wow I've been here for awhile and have never really checked into this thread.

I study Kukki/WTF TKD. Have been training for 6 years and just recently tested and passed my second dan.

My training essentially includes the Kukkiwon requirements as well as some Hapkido, Kali, and various other weapons training (mostly based around hapkido)

Right now I'm an apprentice to the master and I'm learning how to teach. I currently teach a beginner class (white belt to green stripe at my school)

Most of my personal training involves self defense and fitness, however right now I'm really into the tournment scene and will probably continue that for the next two years before my body says I quit.

I'm completely intereseted in Korean/TKD history and philosophy so if anyone comes up with something feel free to share or ask.

Peace ya'll

[wuchang79]

Ok you can add another TKD practicioner to the count. I'm from Houston, TX and study under Grandmaster Kyu Ha Cho, younger brother to Grandmaster Hee Il Cho, and vice president of the Action International Martial Arts Association (www.AIMAA.com).

We have schools that follow ITF and WTF curriculums. We have schools that incorporate Hap Ki Do, Boxing and grappling. AIMAA schools can be found world wide in such countries as Korea, England, Canada, USA, India, Ireland, and the West Indies to name a few. The AIMAA HQ is now located in Hawaii.

Any info I left out about the way we train and what we study can be found @ the AIMAA site, or just hit me up.

[Chazz]

Well welcome the MAP Artikon and wuchang79.

wuchang79 - "Count on me chazz" that great to hear. please invite and TKD person as well as and MAist. We would love to have them.

I will make a new list with current TKDist about once a month. This is so that you know who does TKD and if you have and question about TKD you know who you can ask.

So take care, have fun, and start posting

[flyingblackbelt]

I just got my 3rd dan in traditional chung do kwan tae kwon do today, 8/23. I actually train in the same school as kickchick and stumbled upon this forum by accident not even realizing she was a mod. As she said we do the traditional chun ji forms, which has actually gotten students automatically disqualified from tournaments for forms. We actually did the tae guek pattern for a little while as well but that didnt last, the chun ji forms just look sharper to me.

[Chazz]

Well hi flyingblackbelt. Welcome to the MAP. Deb is one of our best and im proud to say she is on here with us. Its nice to see someone else from her school in here. Its also nice to see another member of the ITU here. (im a member as well). Well have fun and post until you cant post any more........ then post again.

[KickChick]

Welcome flyingblackbelt to MAP ...glad you stumbled in !

I hope to get some other fellow students "MAP'ped" ... (note to self....need to get ahold of email list)

May I just add that flyingblackbelt did an awesome job at his 3rd dan test ... and is one fine instructor!

(okay chazz what do you want???....:D ... thanks for the flattery!) )

[TheBorderer]

Ahh maybe then KC you should try what my instructor has done... offer someone who registers on MAP (granted he gets referals from it :)) a drink... I mean take this from club e-mail...

All your Martial Arts questions and answers!!!

Join and I'll buy you a pint/glass of wine/alcopop!!!

Registered Proof required!!


(Granted most of the club is made up for university students like me(!) :p )

Hmm he had to do that after I registered huh? (figures) Gee thanks Nathan! :D Nah only joking Nathan dont worry! :D Besides its quite fun being on MAP, there's a good mix of folk. (even if they don't do TKD :D) :)

[Chazz]

LOL well thats one way to get people in here i guess.

Welcome to all of you ... glad you found us and hope to see you post and access MAP often!

Now let's get some good TKD discussion going all!!

[Knight_Errant]

As some of the followers of my doings in the journal will know, I have seen the errant of my ways and decided to do TKD. I wasn't really aware of different TKD styles. Does TAGB mean anything to you? However, I have found a good Taekwondo site(I think) to peruse (http://www.tkdtutor.com)

[KickChick]

well, well, well ....

WELL-COME to the TKD Forum Knight!!!

You may want to chat with Holgate and Stewart as they are from TAGB clubs .... (which I believe is ITF (?) )

Yes, TKD Tutor is a good site to check out but...

"Since there are so many Taekwondo organizations (each with numerous instructors who teach Taekwondo in a slightly different manner), the ideas and information presented in Taekwondo Tutor may different from those of your organization or instructor. When the information presented in Taekwondo Tutor differs from that presented by your instructor—follow the information presented by your instructor."

[booksie_girl]

Hi Al
Welcome, and don't worry. Because you can't here tone of voice, it's easy to misinterpret things. Just remember that most people here would never intentionaly be rude just because they didn't like a joke you posted. Don't get scared off, keep posting, we want you here.:)

[alcapone]

Thanks booksie_girl, I appreciate that. So, what's happening in Neighbours over there??? ;o) LOL, just joking, it's just the typical question a limey asks an aussie!!!

[Chazz]

"alcapone
Thought I'd add myself to this list, even though I've upset some people already by taking things too personally!!!! :-("

Tosh - I fixed your listing. Your #13 still :-)

[Thomas]

I really like that list... I enjoyed looking at everyone's affilaitaions at a glance. (In fact I like the check-in idea so much I put one up at the Hapkido page). Looking forward to seeing more!

[Chazz]

Well thank you thomas. I started it because i was the only TKD person in here at the time and i wanted to know when other TKD people joined. Im just glad that we all are here. Deb has done a great job helping me in the TKD welcome wagon so she has been a great help as well.

Like i said i will up date it monthly so if you are not in here just post and i will add you. If i have got your info wrong PM me and i will change it.

[KickChick]

You can add another to the list Chazz... "Kwajman" (joined in Sept.) ... maybe when or if he see this he will come here to Introduce himself to all of us formally
... I already know him as a "staunch KickChick morale booster" ! :D ;)

[Chazz]

TKDshane Ÿ

[beth]

2nd Brown, ITF-style. That's what I train in now, although I also have a 1st dan in Chung Do Kwan which I trained in for about 8 years. The dojang I was in was very traditional and the waiting time between 1st and 2nd dan was almost 4 years since I was a junior when I advanced. The CDK forms we did were not the Chon-ji forms like Kick Chick's, we did traditional Tang Soo Do forms similar to those in Shotokan Karate plus one other series. I trained in a WTF school at my university and unfortunately found it to be very sub-standard so I didn't stick around.

[tkd ajumma]

I'm a Brit, been living in Seoul for the past 5 years or so and spending a good bit of my time learning WTF taekwondo; am now 2nd dan. But I'm returning to England soon and can't find a WTF club in my area. So looks like I will have to try something new, and I've been reading with interest all the stuff on the site about ITF vs WTF, and CKD, as there are several ITF clubs and a CKD club where I will be living (North Hertfordshire).

[neimad]

G'day folks. I've been studying TKD for almost three years now at the Bai Rui (www.bairui.com) school here in Brisbane and I'm a 4th gup/blue belt. Bai Rui teaches ITF TKD and is an affiliated school of the USTF.

I'm looking forward to taking part in the forum discussions! :)

[booksie_girl]

Hi Beth, ajumma and neimad. Welcome to MAP. Have fun joining in the interesting discussions we have here. Special welcome to neimad, because not only is he another Aussie, but I think he's the only other Queenslander here!

[KickChick]

... almost that time to update the monthly list for October!


I'll offer you some help there Chazz as the room here is filling up fast!!

You can fill in the particulars
Welcome to our new TKD arrivals!!!

[Kwajman]

Hi, I haven't formally filled much in. I live and train part time in the central pacific, part time in Wisconsin. ITF forms, I've been training for 3 years and am a High Brown Belt, so take my comments for what their worth.

[KickChick]

Yokwe !!

Let me formally welcome you now Kwajman!
We appreciate everyone's input here on the forum...
as our Home page says...
"Whether you have been studying for 20 minutes or 20 years there is something here for you ..."

[Taeho]

Wait, I've only been studying for 19 minutes...Does that mean that I'm SOL?...heheh J/K KC!

This is a gr8 forum and I love it. :D

TKDshane Ÿ

[neryo_tkd]

great indeed :-) :-) :-)


(i wanted to use capital letters to emphasize my enthusiasm, but one of the moderators warned someone not to use those letters because they mean that the person writing the post is shouting)

so i'll just repeat it once again great, really great

looking forward to that updated list

[Kwajman]

Holy smokes Kickchick, you floored me with the Yokwe. What is your connection to the Marshalls? We're few and far between...

[Chazz]

Hi All, I just saw this thread! I do WTF Taekwondo, although I do intend to go back and finally earn my black belt in ITF too!

[KickChick]

Welcome aboard Captain!:)

[tkderf]

Hello :)

Introducing myself, i am from Canada, been doing wtf tkd since 1989 and it really is a passion for me. I had to stop tkd for a few years for career purpose, although i always trained at home during that time, i restarted this year eith fair intentions to do competitions. I hope we will be able to share a lot togheter, we never end learning and improving, and this forum is (i beleive) a very good place to share our knowledge for a sport that passionate all of us.

Regards,

[KickChick]

Welcome to MAP tkderf!

I share in the sentiments you have expressed.... !

[tkderf]

http://pages.infinit.net/fredtkd/fredtkd.jpg

By the way, here's a picture of me :)

[KickChick]

Why don't you also post it in the Photos (http://www.martialartsplanet.com/photos/) section here in MAP and start your very own gallery?:)

[dark monster5]

I train in ITF Tae Kwon Do in Ontario and I'm a Green Belt. My school also teaches Jui Jitsu (excuse my spelling) and Kickboxing.

[marktkd]

i study itf/bitf taekwon-do in england

[Tosh]

Welcome aboard Mark!!

Even though I'm UKTA affiliated I try to get myself down to Master Hutchisons classes in Longridge- Scotland as much as possible.

How about some more details from yourself like grade etc?? :D

[KickChick]

Welcome dark monster 5 and marktkd ...

Before you know it the updated list for November will be posted!

[marktkd]

thank you all for the welcome, tosh i'm 1st dan hoping to take my second dan early next year, concentrating on my jumping turning kick at the moment, i need more height

[Tosh]

Same as me! :D

I also tore my medial ligament last may which hasn't helped progress. However, I've got a couple of plyometric exercises that have helped my standing jumping height (Scissors are fine) drop me a PM sometime. ;)

[marktkd]

ok will do
