TaeKwonDo and Hapkido-What experience do you have?

EnlightenedOne · 11-28-2003, 09:33 PM

I am just curious how experienced you guys out there are at TaeKwonDo and/or Hapkido.

Tom Yum · 11-28-2003, 09:37 PM

Oh I'm terrible! It takes me 600,000 seconds to throw a front snap kick and they are about thigh high. Then I pull my groin. No, not from the kick. I just enjoy doing that from time to time, like Al Bundy does, nothing sick.

EnlightenedOne · 11-28-2003, 09:49 PM

Is it me or is there a lot of sarcasm there?

Tom Yum · 11-28-2003, 09:56 PM

just a little.

Seriously, I've practiced Hapkido for 5 years (black-brown). While practicing HKD, I competed at open style MA tournaments in SE and Central Texas. Contact level was moderate; lots of knockdowns. Kicks to the head and knockdowns score 2 pts, everything else is 1pt. 3x2 min rounds.

I fought against shotokan karate, TKD, kungfu and hapkido. This was way before muay thai was available.

Thats really awesome. Martial arts is my life so I hope I can eventually accomplish many things like that

Tom Yum · 11-28-2003, 10:05 PM

Not really. Stop the stroking

Good luck to you.

EnlightenedOne · 11-28-2003, 10:07 PM

what do you mean by that? You think I am trying to suck up?!?!

Tom Yum · 11-28-2003, 10:10 PM

No. I instinctively avoid being the center of conversation when there are just 2 people.

then why did you pick the X Man character voted most likely to be confused with a phallic symbol?
