so, I just realized how much I miss tae kwon do after I was invited to be a judge at the belting ceremony, so what are some TKD expriences you have had? and what belt did you go up to?
I went up to 1st degree black and the most emabarassing moment would be, I was sparring a girl [huge] green belt and she got me on my head and my tooth was wiggiling and my mouth was bleeding, yea that pretty embarassing :] |

Oh man that sounds like fun. Ive always wanted to but i was in dance for about 8 years.
Then i quit :\ kind of a dissapointment really since the teacher ruined it. Sometimes i wish i could go back and dance again but i would be so low since i quit about 3 1/2 years ago. |

I`ve never taken tkd, but I know some girl who has a black belt in it. She's like...6 feet tall + too.

I took these free TKD classes a few years back. They were hilarious. I pretended not to know anything about fighting in order to go along with the horrible chambering they made us do when kicking. I accidentally did a Muay Thai straight out of habit on the instructor when he chose me for a sparring demonstration and he fell backwards. Another time, this girl who stood behind me actually laughed at the "hiss" I made when striking. I guess I can't blame her since only posers like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson are known for proper breath disbursement. She declined my invitation to go a few rounds, funnily enough.
It can be of benefit in cross-training, especially through the flexibility that you'll garner, but it's easily the most McDojo'd art around. Also, my friend is a third degree black belt in TKD. I place zero value in belts, but I fight him pretty regularly. |
