Which style is most effective, Wado Ryu or ITF TKD? Which style works best in self defence and against each other?:confused:

This sounds like one of those old Black Belt articles. :D

This debate usually comes down to one thing, the instructor. A good style X instructor will be able to teach you more than a bad style Y instructor. Look at the instructor, look at his/her students, which school has the attitude and technique that you are looking for.

Okay, the best art... I dunno if any of you ever heard of it, but the best art in the world is tae bo. It's much better than the style that Richard Simmons teaches. Second comes another art that most of you probably aren't familiar with. It's called women's yoga and stretching.

I don't think a bunch of people doing poor punches in the air is half as lethal as the Sweatn' to the Oldies technique Sifu Simmons developed several years ago.

I don't know, "Amazing Hip Hop Dance" is so complete, you have your cardio, your self defense, and you get to move to the hotest music of the times.

But very difficult to learn. If you master it, I'm still betting that tae bo will destroy it.
