I was walking down a bridge when I saw someone about to jump off. I hadn't done my good deed yet for the day, so I decided to save him. "Don't jump! There's so much to live for!"

"What is there to live for?" he asked.

"You just need to find a community that loves you," I said. "For example, I do martial arts, and my gym is like my family."

"Hey, I do martial arts too! Do you like striking or grappling?"

"I like striking arts," I said.

"Me too! Do you like traditional arts or modern arts?"

"I do traditional style," I said.

"So do I! What art do you take?"

"I do Taekwondo."

"No way, me too! Do you do Kukkiwon or ITF Taekwondo?" he asked.

"Kukkiwon."

"Wow, we have so much in common. What was your favorite form?"

"I really like Taegeuk 7."

"Oh, we did the Palgwes at my school."

It was at that point that I decided to push him off the bridge.

(The above is a joke and please don't assume I actually did this).

My favorite TKD Dad-joke was when people had missed a class and would show up for a make-up class, I would say, "Make up class is where we work on our foundation."

Taekwondo is the martial art where you make your opponent suffer the agony of da feet.

No, Taekwondo is the Korean word for Karate.

 

[Monkey Turned Wolf]

No, Taekwondo is the Korean word for Karate.

Just in case you missed the joke, it's a play on words. TKD is known for their feet, and you want your opponent to suffer defeat. The joke comes across better when said out loud.

I think he was making another joke.

Yes I got the joke about da feet. My joke about the Korean word for Karate comes from a former Master who sometimes got frustrated when people would call his taekwondo school and ask about karate lessons.

Could have been worse. Saw a shirt at a TKD tournament that said "Karate is for people who can't do TKD".

Back when I had first started Taekwondo, I went to a local tournament to watch. The officiator came up to me and said that one of the competitors had dropped out, and they needed me to step in and take his place.

"But I've only just started and I don't even know the rules."

"Great news! We also had a ref drop out..."

I told this to my BJJ/Muay Thai coach, and replaced Judo and boxing with BJJ and mauy thai.
