Welcome to the Martial Arts Community Thread, for Gaia's Martial Artists and like enthusiests. Debating is very welcome! But arguing and taking shots at one another? No, no. Talk about anything relating to Martial Arts, and go into as much or as little detail as you want.

Why do you like Taekwondo?

I like Tae Kwon Do for various reasons. I like the fact that I'm able to protect myself; I like the work out; I like the people I meet. Well, most of 'em. ;]

@ Felixaran: Do you train at one place or do you go to multiple studios?

@ KelsKay: I like Taekwondo because it works out every part of your body. I like it because it's diverse and powerful. When it's done right it can have amazing results for anybody.

@ Little Taehiko: I'm supposed to be up for my third dan this coming october, but my previous instructor ordered my second dan certificate from Kukkiwon about 18 months late or so, so I'm gonna be delayed for a bit...
