What other type of MA goes well with Taekwondo especially for a beginner?

What fist of iron meant is Hapkido. Spell Check isn%26#039;t always right.





He is right though that it adds a lot to your TKD training by giving you joint locking, throwing and ground work experience as well. Hapkido training quite often include many of the same strikes as in TKD, however training is focused more on self defense oriented strikes (any high kick or turning kick can be bad news if you don%26#039;t connect it).





Hapkido also happens to be a Korean martial art. Many TKD instructors also hold ranks in Hapkido so it is worth asking your instructor whether he is able to teach you that as well. I%26#039;ve mentioned before that it doesn%26#039;t hurt to explain that you want to learn Hapkido at the same time as TKD to experience more Korean martial arts, this smooths over the ego bump an instructor may get when you ask them where else they can learn.|||Boxing does great with TD, since in Tailwind you mostly use your feet as striking weapons, and in boxing you only use your hands, then you have a perfect balance between hand and foot. Another style that goes great with it is haploid, Haploid utilizes, joint-locks, take-downs, and throws that are great to use with TKD.|||Well TKD is Korean but concerntrates mainly on the feet. Hapkido also from Korea and specialises in the hand and throws. Kuk Sool Won of Korea concerntrates on feet, hands, throws, weaponry and meditatiion but is very advanced........ boxing would bring a nice balance also. Its really about what you want out of it :) |||I would start of doing just TKD for a while, probably until you get your black belt. If you are trying to be well-rounded, I would suggest Juijitsu, Judo, Akido, or maybe MMA.|||you should stay with your first art for a few years before you start mixing.


but there are a lot of them that would be good. i would recommend a jitsu or a grappling art rather then a another striking style.
