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!
Doesn't the integrated TKD sparring sound great? Man I would love that. Tell him to expand west to Kansas, say the Lawrence area.
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.
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. Matt White
I know there is alot of styles of taekwondo, such as, Chung Do Kwan, Moo Duk Kwan, Yun Moo Kwan, Chang Moo Kwan, and Chi Do Kwan Ji Do Kwan, Song Moo Kwan, and Oh Do Kwan But where does ITF GO IN?? what style is ITF??
You may want to check out the posts in this threadWTF or ITF and Welcome to MAP ... tell us what "style" you practice!
I'm a yellow belt in Oh Do Kwan TKD, who just discovered that she belongs to one of 2 Oh Do Kwan schools in Australia. I guess you could say we're unique I love what I learn though, and that's the main thing
"Despoja meet booksie_girl" ::shakes hands:: -- what a coincidence! You two may have alot in common!! Welcome to MAP booksie_girl !! ... and continue to enjoy your training!
So many different people here. I'm a newbie to the site (wife showed me this morning) and a relative newbie to martial arts - I'll be testing for my 1st dan black belt in April 2004 (I'll test for my recommended black belt next month). Style? I'm not sure. We practice WTF traditional style, taeguk poomses, but not sure of the style. We don't really discuss that too much.
Welcome to the site Darknight!! If you have any questions problems or even have a some experiences of TKD or MA in general please feel free to share them here. We're an 'armless bunch! (subtle WTF joke in there somewhere!!)
Thanks, tosh. And I proudly count myself amongst the (WTF) armless bunch! (Although it sure would be fun to throw a back fist or ridge hand sometimes!)
