i want your opinion!!!

hi guys i found out that we learn in my tkd school a mixed style of tkd that have in it(hapkido, traditional tkd, and a new blocks that my master found out) so do think a comption of these ma really effective in real life fight and thanks.

NO. It can't be predicted what will happen in a real right. A MA is only as good as the practicioner.

Yaze, you are going to get yourself into trouble asking questions like this. Every art has the potential to be effective depending on the practioner and how it is applied.

Be very careful how you phrase things and what you ask. Before you post a topic, you may want to do a search for similar topics to see what the replies may have been.Just a little helpful advice.

Thanks Razor for putting it politely.

I guess it gets a little frustrating seeing the same ole question, whether an art is street effective.

you are way too strong to study TKD man TKD is for show offs ppl only i say go for some thing else

what belt do u have now mate?? this is a really important question for those who doubt TKD as an effective art

What, show-offs who feel the need to slag off someone elses art.

I think that your master is very wise to let his art evolve. All arts need to evolve or risk becoming obsolete. If you went back and showed the man who started the root art of TKD or Judo or Karate what you learn now, they probably would not recognise their art anymore.

Let me give you an example, this is a very broad generalisation, but it is only an example. TKD was trained as a SD mechanism, then one day it became an olympic sport. Now you have two types of TKD artists...one who trains to defend his life, and another who trains to win olympic gold. The training and emphasis of each artist, will be very different yet both are TKD practitioners, the art evolved to cater for both people.
As for your master combining styles, the answer really lies with you, if you are comfortable with what you are taught, if you feel that it benefits you.....than enjoy your training!!
