    Congrats!

    Well done mate, aren't there any places close to you? I'm lucky, I live in London there's so many schools about, mine is about a 10 min drive.

    How long have you done TKD for? It must be pretty bad doing it if you didn't enjoy it that much.

    Wish you the best of luck!

    well, i live in a small town so we only have boxing and TKD here

    i was in TKD for 3 months... got to gold belt but i really didn't like the speed at which we were going... we moved - physically - too slow, we never stayed in our stances - we looked like warped boxers - i was with many younger people (i was 12 and they were ten) so sparring was nothing.

    i could go back in it now and probably like the age-range better since i'm 15 but i just hate TKD. it seems very westernized and i've heard TKD is one of the least effective arts in a real fight... too many things are taken out

    Julien - pay CLOSE attention to Raleks post.

    It makes a very good point:

    It's a picture of Royce Gracie armbarring the crap out of Jason Delucia--A Kung Fu stylist (well, he was--I don't know what he's doing now.)
