A taekwondoie girl at school got beat up last week. She got her butt handed to her by this big ol’ black girl who sat on her and pummled her face. Anyway, this is funny because the girl is supposed to be training for taekwondoie olympics or something and she thinks she’s all bad so she mouthed off to a big chick and got it handed to her.
What did she say that made the bigger girl wanna beat her?
hilarious.
people who get beat up are funny.
She got what she deserved. My wife works with a girl who is the same way. The first day she (my wife) was there she was bragging that she had a black belt in TKD and was trying to be a hard ass. I hate it when chicks act hard. Guys too. But when women act hard, it is very unattractive, and at the same time very very amusing. They try so hard.
People who act hard are prime candidates for repetitive flicks on the forehead. Great way to teach someone humility.
Even TKD people don’t know the difference between olympic tkd and fighting tkd.
Another good example of BJJ ( Black Jiu Jitsu ) winning against Tai Kwon-do.
And with Mojo’s last statement…
Goodnight Everybody!!!

I once saw the lightweight WBA champ have his azz handed to him by an IG (Imperial Gangster) I guess that means boxing suks too?

What I don’t like it when people try to pick holes in your art because it is not the same as theirs.
I have a karate friend who comments on the fact we don’t aim punches with knuckles and straighten arms as well as other ‘flaws’ in the system I am learning, the bottom line is why bother? You enjoy your and I’ll enjoy mine, so long as we’re both happy who cares? The overwhelming majority of arts originated from Kung Fu anyway so why bother?
Has anyone else found this?
BoxerChick; Sounds like the women in your gym have way too much testosterone. They must be lovely. :rolleyes:

I get this all the time, I hold rank in a couple styles, if I say one then I get “Well all I have to do is_____ to beat you.” I am always amazed. i just tell them they need to find out and I always have my gloves a nd a set of spares with me.
The people who say this usually dont want to find out.
That’s the difference between training for point sparring and fighting.
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again: point sparring is poison. Maybe she’ll come to that point I did when I got a bloody nose at 8 or 9 years old: What happened? I’m a martial artist and I got my but kicked. Makes you reavaluate your training.
Yup, this is sure proof that Taekwondo sucks…just as Royce’s loss to Sak and Wallid Ismael prove that Bjj sucks…
D’aym! people!
Hee hee hee
What i see alot of is "we teach the best fighting style because _____’ TKD is not the only one who does it. Kung Fu, Karate, Ju-jitsu… They all have the bonehead instructors or students that come out with stupid remarks.
Some of my favorites are
“TKD is one of the oldest arts”
“Ninjitsu is so deadly that we dont spar, we would kill each other”
“We do one punch one kill, so we dont need to throw or trap”
“Other schools are jealous of us and know we would dominate
tournaments, thats why we dont compete.”
“No one knew what an armbar was until Helio Gracie created it”
“A Ju-Jitsu guy has never seen a round house kick, if you throw one he will not know what to do.”
“The reason TKD has never won at UFC is because no one has kicked full power yet”
“If an Akido master went to UFC he would have everyone on their face with an arm control.”
Its not the art but the way it is taught, studied and applied that matters.
Unfortunately, TKD has become ba$tardized by competition in its very short history (it is not old). Its name itself is a lie, because it has no hand skill what so ever, zero trapping, folding, pressing, raising, ect. Nothing. ROund house, front kick, side kick, spinning kick:rolleyes: , cresent kick. That;s it. When the kick fails to register a point and the people are too close, then they punch furiously to see who get’s there first and then …
Point!
Not to say there can’t be good TKD out there, but its being hidden very well. There is a place in my town, they are actually quite succesful I guess because they have a few huge trophies in the window. My wonder is if they could stop a good martial artists from going in there and walking out with them.
Allow there kicks to be kicked or struck, allow their supporting leg to be kicked while they kick, alow strikes to the back, back of the head, I guarantee they will quickly change there game or die a quick death. That would be the best thing for them, make them evolve. But they are caught up in a game of tag. But this one players seems to have been caught by someone who does not follow the rules, as those on the street never do.
BoxerChick has way too much testosterone.:rolleyes:
And not enough for the guy-living-in-his-mother’s-basement he actually is.:rolleyes:
Re: Budokan
In the words of Jim Rome…
“RACK HIM!”
Hrm.
Usually if someone studies one art, and they are critisizing your art by using thiers as an example - a friendly challenge or request to spar can quickly remedy the ‘flaws’ in your system.
Most people just want to talk about your art, not show you thiers.
Evolution Fist:
You usually dont make big blanket statements like that. TKD does indeed have hand techniques, trapping, and joint locking etc.
If you studied TKD (i havent checked your profile) I appologize for jumping you, but perhaps your school just didnt teach those things (too competition or point sparring based) but Im sure you realize that there must be schools out there that do teach such things. I know this for a fact.
Not attacking, just commenting. 
Schools that teach hapkido do, but straight TKD schools generally dont. the ones that do have added to the style, then its not TKD but an instructor who has cross trained.
