cough cough ****s ****s cough
Wushuers dont hit pads like that I say they can fight , BTW TKD as prac today is is a mish mash of Japanese Karate and weastern boxing with Korean Kicks KC
taekwondo always had karate in it kc
Modern TKD as developed by Choi has Shotokan that is why the styles are so similar, The older ones like Chung do Kwan and Tang Soo Do and other temple arts were based upon Tae Gyun KC
David Carradine, Farrah Fawcet, Ed Mc Mahon, Michael Jackson , and now Billy Mays. Who;s next? KC
Actually TKD today is a Korean distillation of viable martial arts it based on... Shotokan to the larger extent & Shorin-ryu to a lesser. I spent my first 15 years in the MA learning & teaching it as well as teaching it recently.
The current Kukkiwon connected TKD isn't much more than foot tagging, hard, but foot tagging. There's been no definative proof of Tae Kyon actually being a formative base other than Choi's word on it's connection. All of the heads of the six original kwons have no indigenous KMA in them. Most or all were JMA trained & belted.
But TKD history aside... that's what the guy kicks like. It's like the TKD they teach in Dengfeng.
Right all within 2 weeks. It is my understanding that TKD taught is as you say a distillation but Choi supposedly got training from Funikoshi KC
well a genawakai karate dojo is near my place dont knw how long its been around but gonna go check it out see if i can train with some other karateka
Oh, Choi did train Shotokan with Funakoshi & earned a nidan from him. Once Choi was kicked out of South Korean TKD, the Kukkiwon started coming up with the new forms (Palgwe, Taeguk, Chong-ahn [I think that's the name]) to replace the Kibon, Hyung-ahn/Pyung-ahn forms which are direct translations of Taikyoku and Heian/Pinan forms. The named forms stayed the same. In Tang Soo Do, they still practice those forms & in some of the Kwan schools (Ji Do, Chung Do, etc...) they practice them along side some of the new forms.
