I enjoy Tea Kwon Do!! I am a first degree black belt! I had to stop though because I got two serious concussions. cry

'Can't wait for you to get back into it. First degree is a great time for realizing what you are working for . . . and how far you've come.

@Sekchi: Goingd hasn't been around recently. [/PoutFromLackofGoingd.]

I can't wait either! I am hoping to go back in the next year or so.

Uh, hi? T'appears I've been talked about. I suppose I'll give you guys an update?

I've been busy getting ready to move out to LA in about a month. For about four years I've been teaching for my instructor through his studio, but when I move I'll be running my own part time program through a nearby community center. I will be implementing my own curriculum and teaching methods. It should be fun.

Sooo, how is everyone's training and whatnot? Any questions you're looking for an answer to? I promise I'll check back soon to answer them.

What martial art/s do you teach?


Question to you guys,

What point in your opponent's body do you prefer to attack first?

Question to you guys,

I primarily teach Taekwondo, but I occasionally teach Hapkido and various weapons including kumdo sword, nunchucks, long staff and short stick.

To your question: In a self-defense situation I prefer to start with vital breaking points like the lower ribs or the temple. It helps to start things with a shock to create an almost immediate advantage.

[l Omie-Gosh l]

I first go for soft spots like the eyes or the throat. If opponent can't see or breathe properly then it's a done deal.

Question to you guys,

What point in your opponent's body do you prefer to attack first?

I prefer Legs or Or palm strikes to the face/neck area, I prefer to try and go for a Morote-gari (think double leg takedown), or a simple hip throw and then just old school step on the head if I believe I am in sever danger and I need to end the fight quickly as possible. My second trick is go for a flurry of straight punches to move them on the defensive then close if I know they are unarmed, if not I grab myself a chair and use it as 4 rods and strike the hands. If I feel Really threatened my palm strikes will lead into eye gouges if the situation warrants it.
