I will try and answer this with viloating Rich's sensibilities. While is well known that I am a kenpoist, I also spent many years doing TKD. I had some wonderfull instructors that taught well and had usefull information to pass on, I had others that weren't worth what they paid for their dobok. So the answer to your question is this, TKD if taught properly, is a wonderful and beautiful art with loads of practical application. It can also be a very exciting sport. It depends on what you are looking for and the calibre of instructors available. Then again, this can be true of most any art, no?

Thank you for that fine explanation. I hope all the doubters on this board take the time to read it... :asian:

If the doubters should happen to ignore your post then I want permission to poke them with a stick.

I apologize to you guys - I did not mean to come off as saying anyone was bashing or attacking TKD. I was just trying to head off any negative issues and or discussions. Please no one take the impact of my comments, only the intent, that I wanted a nice a friendly discussion.

I think you're doing a superb job in nipping this line of questioning in the bud before it blows up into cyber sparring and some people begin breaking out their flame throwers. :asian:

question about TKD

in TKD is it true that you get instructors from other arts to teach you self defense.... i.e against knife and locks

It's all in good fun Rich, and nothing more than that.

Again, it depends on your instructor, it's not a lack in the art.

I just seen highlevel TKD on tv not to long ago at the titian games I thought it was pretty awsome.
