Why is it taekwondo do NOT go well with Okinawan karate or Kenpo karate

I like the phone booth idea. Everyone has there comfort zone. For some people, it's distance kicking range. For some, it's on the ground. I suck at both those ranges. The range I'm good at is the range forced on you by the proverbial phone booth, as I understand it. I haven't actually seen one since I was a child, that I recall...

Hence, no more Superman.

Hmm... I guess it must have been Sun Tzu, the author of The Art of War. His main principle: In order to win, complement Yang with Yin, and vice versa.

It has been said that it's best to fight a kicker in a phone booth. How is your typical Tae Kwon Do practitioner going to cope? The only problem with that, of course, is that there are hardly any phone booths left nowadays...

By the same token, I once watched a full contact match between a Kyokushinkai and a Wing Chun fighter. The WC man's aggressive flurry of punches put the former under a lot of pressure, so he stepped away and fired one devastating front kick to the mid section which sent Mr. Kung Fu to the mat immediately.

These examples illustrate that it's good to have different kinds of tools in your tool box, so you can adapt better to the job at hand (or foot).

These are two different ways of thinking; and, not to mention, maybe it is better to be awesome at one thing, rather than OK at two things.

Maybe he can use a Sandy Can? They've similar dimensions...
