Hi everyone. I was involved in martial arts from a young age but took a break and got back into it around 2 years ago. I started in Aikido and not long after starting took up Tae Kwondo with Evolution Martial Arts training under Simon Wachon 6th Dan who now has a school in Cranbrook, BC, Canada. I chucked the towel in with Martial Arts at the age of 9 and started again at 19. First training in ITF Tae Kwondo and practiced some Tai Chi until I had to move due to work. This was when I took up TAGB Tae Kwondo but I didn't feel this was the Martial Art for me so tried K1 Kickboxing for a year until I found a good ITF school that wasn't just another McDojo. Since then I have trained back up to my Blue Tag level and will be taking my Blue Belt Grading this year.
While I have found that the Martial Art that works for me is ITF Tae Kwondo, I understand that no matter what level you are in your preferred Martial Art you can still be taken down by anyone, trained or not. I have never understood the idea of there being a single Martial Art that is better than another. This is down to the practitioner and how well they utilize their training.
I absolutely love Martial Arts and I'm looking forward to sharing the knowledge I have and taking in the knowledge of others on this forum.
