Welcome Xanos, good to have a fellow TKDist in da house smile

Ah its probably summat to do with it being the most popular art in the US, and there being quite a few of ya yanks on Gaia smile You're gona have to start lookin for people who aren't TKDists wink

LMAO, I'll say this slowly so ya get it, you are already in the guild wink

Hi Mia, glad to have ya on board. Never heard of that art before, is it a modern art? i.e. created after 1945 like lots of other korean arts

I do everything. Seriously. I pick up principles from all sorts of stuff and put it into what I do. I formally study a Jujutsu/Kempo/Wing Chun hybrid.

Korean arts are cool in that they were really informal for a really long time, and all comingled. Formalization is only taking hold again within the past century (obviously). Though if anyone here's ever heard of Kuk Sool Won, that's a great example of lineage. I should have the site around here somewhere. That has some interesting history. I think I might also have an article around here about Ssang Jang Gum, which is Korean twin sword, which was adopted by Chinese/Scyllian invaders after a really long siege. If I can find it, I'll post it. But yeah, as far as I can tell, Korean martial arts were heavily influenced by the idea that EVERYONE should know how to fight.

Found it.
