Hey, I used to do a martial art similar to Tae Kwon Do, but, there's none in the area I've moved to. Any suggestions of good martial arts??
I used to do muay thai which is basically Thai kickboxing. In my opinion, it was better than tae kwon do which I also did because the techniques I learned were more practical in a real-life situation. It's pretty easy to pick up as there's no flashy moves like spinny kicks or flips and stuff like that, mostly different styles of punching and kicking. Being able to adapt to any situation is cery important in this fighting style. Control and balance is also key. On a side note, the teachers were some pretty nice eyecandy
hes right muay thai is a lot more balanced I do tkd and its gd but yeah dnt really teach to defend if sum1 just gets closed n grabs ya lol that y im getting my parents to sign me up 4 ninjitsu
I did Aikido for a few months, but the dojo had to close my dad does chin na (Qin Na). Its all about stretching tendons and ligaments and hurts like hell. He's starting to teach me.
I used to do Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido twice a week, both were awesome. Hapkido involved a lot more escaping from people and causing them to fall down in one way or another if they attacked you
I've been looking into Choi Kwang Do, which is very similar to TKD. I took the intro classes offered, and they were great.
I'm a 2nd dan in Kenshou I'll be honest with you, almost any MA is good if you have two things 1. A good and legit instructor 2. The drive and motivation. You'll be amazing if you put in the time and effort Beyond that, I can't stand when someone supports the idea that one MA is somehow better than another MA Foxface
I study kyudo (Japanese archery) and will be learning kenjutsu. I love kyudo since it is very much a meditative martial art.
Thanks everyone, hadn't even heard of half of those martial arts! Agree with Foxface though, it's all about the instructor.
I used to do Hap Ki Do, and if I can find somewhere to do it, I will do it again once I'd recovered from my surgery.
