Who thinks Tae Kwon DO is cool.?

Question

I have done tae kwon do for about 8 month .

I think its great.

what do you think about it?

Answer 1

What any of us thinks really doesn't matter, it's what you think.

Do you like the instructor, do you feel like you are learning something and are you happy with what you are learning.  If you can answer all these questions in the affirmative, then it is cool for you.  

When you choose a martial art, it is a combination of several things, what is available in the area, your objectives and the intangibles, how much you enjoy what you are doing.  

If you are happy putting on that uniform and enjoy what you are doing, than you have found the martial art for you. If you find yourself running through things while walking along and practicing in your mind as well as in your home, you are where you are supposed to be.

If you dread going to class and start to look at it as a chore, than it's time to start looking to other sources of satisfaction.  

Sounds like you have found the right art for you.

Good luck, enjoy

Answer 2

When it's done with speed, power, and agility, it looks awesome.  When TKD "black-belts" are doing techniques no better than a white-belt, it looks pathetic.

Of course, that can be said for any martial art.

Anyway, TKD--when taught well-- is great.

Answer 3

i think its awesome!

Answer 4

TKD is great for confidence and self esteem, and also fitness. It has however proved impractical in street situations. If you're looking for self defence, MMA is the best answer these days, if you're looking for an enjoyable hobby that will get you fit and motivated to live a healthy lifestyle, the TKD is great.

(and i might just add, while TKD isnt the best self defence system for use in the street, learning it is certainly not going to make you any worse, it will be alot better than nothing, it just doesnt rack up against other systems available these days)

Answer 5

It's cool.  Keep on going!
