I figured there was more than one when he said that.

I also considered picking on Larry for being a TKD'r and not a karateka,
but I don't know him all that well and didn't want to peg myself into
the wrong hole here being newly back to posting. (After all, I did
banter with Charles and quickly got a stern warning from Dally, so who
needs to know exactly *how* thin the ice is.)

What do you train? I personally hold a low level black belt (Sho-Dan) in
Shudokan karatedo and study japanese sword as well.

I think it's great there are other MAs here. And I won't defend TKD, simply
because I've learned that no style is ideal, and every style has something
to offer. Which is why I've studied other styles.

So, pick away!

I was funning with you more than anything. My favorite one though is
that if your neighborhood is ever under siege by a rouge group of
bicycle messengers you will definately be looking for a TKD practitioner.

I have been to the TKD school here in town quite a few times. They have
aspects I like, and they are quite fun to spar with. Makes you much
better at reading and defending kicks.

I just can't force my head around some of the concepts that are in
direct conflict with some of the things I have been taught for 8+ years.

Dittos on the no style being ideal/complete.

I have taken classes in TKD, Shudokan, GoJu, and Aikido. I really really
wish that there was a KungFu school in my area. I would love to take a
couple of years of that. But I will always stick with my roots in
traditional Japanese/Okinawan MA's.

Don't start, Larry. In no time at all, we'll have all the RMA
tough-guy wannabees ranting and raving in MFW about the supremacy of
their art/teacher.

RMA has been more or less empty the last few times I have looked in it.

The reason John mentioned is exactly why I've never hung out there. And
possibley why it is empty.

I figured it was empty becuase all the BJJ guys took over by putting the
group in a submission hold and then realized that they didn't know how
to use a computer well enough to keep the group alive. ;~)

Seriously though, everyone has their own reasons/drives/beliefs wrt
training and I don't care much for the pissing matches that went on
there. In fact, I am not one for internet pissing matches at all.

Back before September RMA bascially agreed that Greenoch was the best
art. That made it possible to talk about other stuff.

I practice American Kenpo. The "true" Ed Parker Am. Kenpo, not a Tracy
offshoot. I just returned from the Internationals in Long Beach. Dammit,
there was a lot of people there. I took first in my division in traditional
forms, so not too bad.

Sparring wasn't for about 7 hrs after that and I was burned out. I really
wasn't in the mood, especially when 95% of the people sparring just show for
that event and don't embrace the full aspect of MA. It's getting really bad
when the stupid ass gang bangers show up just to spar. It's funny. They get
their asses handed to them by people that really know how to fight.
