Ok I know this guy and in TKD I AM better than him. I stop taking TKD to take Muay Thai almost a year ago, and I decided to ask some of my TKD people on their views on MMA. Some people are so ****in blind it pisses me off. Take in mind I KNOW HIM PERSONALLY And it is WTF TKD.

[MercuryTurrent]

i could learn more from mortal combat then listening to this guy...

[mushinmaster]

....a sad tragedy in our times!

[Szczepankiewicz]

His mind has been conditioned that his way is the best and only way. I find myself getting a little like this from time to time. You really have to work to keep an open mind about a lot of stuff. I definitely voice my opinions and I'm not afraid to be wrong (as I am a lot) but I also listen to what other people say. EVEN TraceyKarate....although I have a big salt shaker at the desk here.


So I will knuckle you in the temple if you try to take me to the ground.

Thanks for the post YT, that was great.

My cousin and I were wrestling one day. My cuz was big into TKD and his pop was talking trash about him. I got the mount and then I asked him, "What does Master SuchandSuch tell you to do when you're in this situation?"

He said he didn't know. They hadn't ever done anything like this in training.

Hehe. You guys are oh so quick to put down the average TKD'er. What about people who are "big into tae kwon do", but cross-train? I bet any of them could kick the average BJJ guru's ass.

[Angel_of_Pain]

Gnr sorry but did you read the thread? He dont blast tkd, he blast people who still believe only in tkd or karate or etc... Cross training he's the key almost everyone knows it on this forum.

[Shimora]

ShadowX255 shows great wisdom for a youngster. This pleases me. He is correct of course that there are many ways to deal with a grappler if he takes you down.

[Szczepankiewicz]

Yes, this is very true. Many soft targets to strike if you can keep the grappler from choking you or popping a joint before you get to the soft spots.

i find most TKD guys are this way "invincible" in their eyes ,and bag other arts, especially MT. Im a muay thai exponent, and i spar with a 2nd dan black belt (ITF), and i seriously dont rate TKD (im sorry guys). i believe because TKD sparring is no contact, it defeats all purpose. in MT we obviously train full contact and learn from mistakes during a sparring session (the hard way usually), i feel this is the only way to learn how to fight properly and effectively and to get your range right for the weapons you want to use.
I also have dabbled in aikido and am looking forward to catching up with my same friend who now does preying mantis KF.
usually those who bignote themselves usually have an inferiority complex and cant really fight ive found.
