anything is better than tkd, would revert to my high school wrestling days before I`d do a lame tae kwon do. you are much better off, congratulations!
heh, i will probably start in august if circumstances allow me to
i gotta check it out first though
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:
Ho mosexual sex should NOT be a televised sport
Remember that next time you’re in Maryland.
i don’t get the picture.
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.)
Ralek’s the resident BJJ troll ![]()
what is BJJ?
Brazilian Jiujitsu
a grappling art, i assume?
mmm… Yup.
That must be a really small town your from eh…
2500 people or maybe a bit more hehe
how are you going to get there if you are 15 and it’s an hours drive?
i’ve tried being a burden and relying on someone else to take me to kung fu class - it doesn’t work. it ends up with the other person getting bored (even if it’s your dad) of taking you there, then they have to wait while the lesson goes on (not worth driving back) and then they gotta drive back. Once a week? Twice? Three times? Hmm.
Go boxing.
sharky, it innit like i live alone ![]()
i will just get my dad to drive me once a week

Whatever you do, do not let anything Ralek says get under your skin. He’s just a foolish troll after all..
oh yeah, welcome
Trolls
What exactly is a troll? I was reading a post here somewhere, is it someone that’s full of s**t?
ps. An hour is quite far, I didn’t realise you were 15, Sharkey is right you should try boxing, unless you’re sure you’re not being a burden. I wouldn’t mind doing boxing actually in addition to mantis, I might get around to it one day.
Good luck with whatever you do bud!
Let us know how the first lesson goes?
I don’t think once a week is worth it. I mean you could do it, but you would be a much better fighter if you went to boxing 3x a week.
I wouldn’t bother going just once a week, but each to his own.
