Not sure, I found there website as well. I was just wondering if anybody on here practiced with them or new anybody that did?

Anybody heard of Tae-kwon-do America? There is a school in Sunbury Ohio my wife and I thought about looking into. I have never heard of them before. I stopped in to talk to them but a kids class was going so I did not get to talk to them much. There not WTF/Kukkiwon but there not full blown ITF...

Thankyou, I looked at Kyokushin4life.com and found the same school. I told him to check it out. I might to if I can, We both live north of columbus but I am in the army so I travel alot.

A friend of mine who knows I love martial arts asked me today if I know of any kyokushin schools in ohio. he lives around columbus but is willing to drive if need be. I train in TKD and have spent a few years in other styles but being in the Army have only been able to keep training in TKD. His...

Im sure you will do great

You can put anything in what my instuctor calls your "TOOLBOX" to make you a better MAist but I agree that some things you should not add and call it HKD. I share some things I learn in Kenpo to my TKD class mates and we practice it but we do not call it a TKD tech.

This is what we do as well.

I have the yellow belt dvd and it is very good

Sweet!

Bob Zoldak Godan, He teachs out of Mt vernon Ohio. I like his class very much.

How did the sit in go? Did you get to try a lesson?

Im sure you will see some interesting conversations on this site

YO, welcome

An iteresting thread. Of the three TKD schools were I live, one teachs TKD and HKD, the other teachs TKD and Akido, Then there is my school which is just TKD. I do cross train in Kenpo, But I like are school for the reason that when we learn TKD its just TKD. not a hybrid

My recomondation is to find a teacher that is good with compatition. I train at my home TKD school for normal training but when I wanted to get better (at sparring) I asked my instuctor if it was ok to train with somebody outside of class and they said sure. So I train with another instuctor on...

In the current US Army it is a matter of personal opinion if you like the bayonet or not. when I went thru BCT Over a year ago they did not cover the training. we did combatives instead(bjj type stuff) But my wife who went thru BCT at the same time at a diff company did do the training, So it...

The only reason is I am going to have to travel a small distance to get to him for instuction. I did invite her to come so she could learn but she cannot make the trip so she is just going to learn from my wife and I after we learn. I have no problem learning something new with a stident. I find...

A VERY good point! self defense VS competition what are you really looking for

My frist tech was sumo then waterwheel, tracys system

I like Kenpo, just my 2 cents. Good luck with whatever you choose

It was an advanced student that has asked me more than once about learning a staff form. Shes a great student so I wanted to try to kinda reward her for doing so well be learning about the staff and teaching it to her. I asked a BB in kenpo I know that teachs staff tech so my wife and I are...

My instuctor teaches from an older arrangement of the tech. He said it is the 2nd set, He learned them in this order in the early 80s so he said he is going to teach them in that order aswell. Do you teach the tech in the current order or an older arrangement?

I Agree, well said

Thanks for all the help and links. I think I found an instuctor that will teach some of the BB in are school and we will go from there.

Agreed, thats why i like it, congrats on shodan by the way

I ran a search for the answer to my question in old threads but could not find it so I thought I would just ask in a new thread. Some students have asked about learning to use the staff(bo) in a form, the instuctors above myself do not teach any weapons froms we just learn some defence against...

What makes this belt so nice? It does look sweet but what is the bamboo part? is it made out of bamboo? is the 200$ for the box lol?

At one point I learned both sets of forms. But now are school just does taeguk

We are a USCDKA school and we do alot of combos with hands involved. alot of ridge hands and such

Any time a master is not willing to talk to a student about a problem that the student has then its not a good place to be
