Seig, thats very interesting. How on earth did you manage to get black belt in 3 styles of TKD? And what set of patterns starts with Chonji as the first pattern after the white belt fundamental movements?

Rcastillo, why did Goldenone jump all over you? haha

Damian,
The man I studied under was ranked in in Chong Ji and tae Geuk forms when he started studying under Hi Il Cho upons ihis return from Korea. Master Cho made him learn the third system and pass it along to us. The feeling was that once we learned all three systems, we were "real' Black Belts that would be accepted anywhere in the world, "knowing the whole system".Chong Ji is the "High White" form, the actual first pattern is Ki Cho. The others were Korean names that I don't remember as I have not done them in about 12 years now. But the english translation was Tae Geuk One and Pal Gae One, two, etc...There are forms in the Chong Ji system known as Tae Geuk and Pal Gae, it is usually at this point when they are introduced that the other form systems are alluded to if not taught. We were required to do each system all the way through and then start the next one. Another example of other forms is that in a lot of American schools, Koreo is taught as a Second Black form, it is actually a Tae Geuk form for first Black.
Ricardo,
I don't think Mr C would yell at me for passing along information.....

Well, at me he yells, But I think it's cause he's not as good looking as I am. He's anti TKD

BTW, I'm very impressed with your knowledge of TKD! No wonder Tess is just crazy about you! You da man!

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say the "Martial arts I study/train" rather than "Martial arts I know"? It implies something different.

As for me:

American Karate: 93/94 to 2000. They moved to a different state! Still practice everything but the katas (only because I forgot them because we stopped after purple belt). I still like it, and want to go back to a Karate, but I think I will do Kyokushin if I can find it.

Muay Thai: 99 to present. Training everyday. 5 times a week + 3 times a week privately.

Pankration: Very little when I began Muay Thai, but am now studying again in private lessons.

BJJ: June 02 to present.

Kali/JKD/Penjack Silat/Shootwrestling: May 02 to present.

I've been informally training with a TKDist friend twice a week for the last year, so there's that too. Unbelted, but still learning.

For me, I need a strong striking style (Muay Thai), a more traditional system (hopefully Kyokushin and a korean martial art called Jungyae Moosul, which I hope to begin soon), and a grappling style, which is both Pankration and BJJ at the moment.

Given your name, is that a pun?

I hope to find 1 art to stick with that long. I don't think I can do it with Muay Thai, and I want something more traditional to continue for the rest of my life. Kudos to you, Abbax.
