What's with all the "which art is better/what should I do?" posts? Go to www.google.com and do some research.

kungfupanda · 02-06-2003, 10:32 PM

how many other forums are you posting this on ramus? it is really getting annoying.

MrPoopy · 02-06-2003, 10:49 PM

10 minutes away sounds pretty good. You should train somewhere close. That will you will end up going a lot more often.

ramus · 02-06-2003, 10:58 PM

its only in 2 forums yo

ramus · 02-06-2003, 11:02 PM

what % of HKD is TKD? and is it quick to learn well enough to be used in a S. defense sit.?

MrPoopy · 02-06-2003, 11:06 PM

I didn't think Hapkido and Tae Kwon do were very much alike. Maybe I'm wrong.

Do they teach Hapkido and TKD seperate or have they tried to mix them?

ryanhall · 02-06-2003, 11:07 PM

Schools that teach both usually teach bad hapkido, which is TKD+bad wrist locks.

rockinronnie · 02-06-2003, 11:32 PM

ryanhall is correct.

aseepish · 02-07-2003, 04:46 AM

I had a good time training with my hapkido instructor in Singapore, but then again he had a background in JKD, MT, and Wing Chun, so we weren't doing 100% traditional hapkido.

MT with bad wrist locks?

I like wrist locks for when a friend or co-worker says "You do martial arts? Show me something!"

i sayed that along time ago and spanky said it wasn't. who's right ohh yeah thats me.

for the hundreth time go to the school you like the best, the one that is for you.

kungfupanda · 02-08-2003, 12:40 PM

there is not much TKD in Hapiko at all. Hapkido is a very dangerous art and TKD is wimpy.

foolsknight362 · 02-09-2003, 10:32 PM

I would definitly have to agree with you panda.... tkd sucks. hkd is great- self defense techniques are awesome

ramus · 02-10-2003, 12:47 AM

does HKD use TKD kicks blocks or punches?????????

Monkey · 02-10-2003, 08:38 AM

Anything which is full contact and alive (competition TKD, boxing, jiu jitsu, kickboxing, wrestling, judo) is much better than any so called self defence system.

Exponents of the so called purely self defence martial arts get trashed in fights against fighters in the above combat sports.

Always choose a combat sport over a 'self defense' 'martial art' or 'system'.

You can either listen to me now, or you can go and waste a couple of years and then come to the same conclusion, i.e. find out the hard way.
