I alraedy take TKD?

Which would be best combination?

medic06

both would be a great addition, but I think boxing would get your hands better quicker since boxing is focuses on hands . . . .

bartjam

shh it TKD, he has the right to comment on this thread just as much as anyone else, its just your choice wether you give him the pleasure of replying to the post (which you just did) or push it to the side and make him look like a moronic fool.

If i was you i would probably take MT, unless you are able to adapt your style with relative ease it is quite hard to simply jump straight from TKD to boxing, can i ask what form of TKD you take?

Sure kuk sool won since you're such a nice person.

Traditional Chung Do Kwan TKD. I worry how long it can stay traditional though. All of WTF needs some heavy reforming

I do Tae Kwon do, and I've got a number of things which have helped me immensley with it. Hapkido, Haidong Kumdo, and Kickboxing.

Hapkido: Gives you good core strength(with all the push pull techniques)
Haidong Kumdo: Every small muscle you have will get extremely strong
Kickboxing: Gives you great abilities, pretty much works everything on you.

All of these are good complements for TKD, and have all given me skills which tkd solely could not.

I agree with medic06. Boxing would make a good addition to your fighting skills n adding some grappling will help too.

If you want to be a true warrior dont just sample styles. Build your base around a core art like Taekwondo. Learn all you can and try your best to get your black belt. That is after years of training. Once you mastered the basics and are a black belt then start developing the other skills to pick up where TKD doesnt. But dont just quit training in TKD after your black belt. Make TKD the core and then use the other skills to help you out if the TKD doesnt work in certain situations like grappling. If you arnt even a black belt yet dont bother joining another school right now.

Pretty much what Andrew said, Once you become a blackbelt, thats just the beginning. Keep going, who knows one day you may reach 9th dan or something.

Interesting...

Why do you think that you should wait til black belt level?

In my opinion, we ain't getting any younger, and the sooner you start something, the better you will be.

TSD is both a hard and soft style, derriving hardness from Soo Bahk, and soft flowing movements from Northen Chinese systems.

edit:I cant belive i bought into this ^ lies, lies. TSD is shotokan with a Korean name and an emphasis on hip movement.

medic06

Ah, do you box as well?

Just out of curiosity, where do you train? Who is your instructor?

Thats a good point, but training in too many things can be counter productive, one can only intake so many things at a time.
