Should I at least try to get in shape first before I start taking Taekwondo?
I forgot to ask this in my last question.|||Tae-Kwon-Do will help to get you into shape. If you wait until your in shape to start then you may never start.
You don%26#039;t have to be a fit 21 year old to do martial arts. There are muscles that you will use in TKD that you don%26#039;t use everyday that will only be built in training. I would suggest that you start your classes and use it as part of your %26quot;getting in shape%26quot; plan.
Go to class. Have Fun while getting in shape!|||I would suggest at least being in a little better than average shape to start. More conditioning will come with the classes.
Good Luck|||don%26#039;t do taekwondo.i was in it and it ws really easy. not much of a work out. then i did karate........that was a lot better and u learn more. taekwondo are for wusses|||Yeah you should because if you don%26#039;t you%26#039;ll wish you did. but it%26#039;s worth it to do it.|||TKD is all about getting someone in shape and learning self defence. I have taking tkd and when I started, they told me to do my best and I did, after a few weeks I felt great.|||YES!|||you dont need to worry about gettting into shape before starting taekwondo because you will improve in fitness from starting. i wasnt in shape when i started i could hardly do sit ups now i am a black tag with a six pack(not trying to show off, seriously). so i wouldnt worry. also ignore milan because tkd is not for worses because i have nearly caused a few knockouts on men who are over a foot taller than me and a lot stronger than myself.|||Yes definitely... you%26#039;ll need to at least prepare for the vigorous work out your gonna get.|||Tae Kwon Do will get you in shape.
Karate is better.|||It%26#039;s probably a good idea.....when I first started taking it, I was very out of shape. They would make us warm up during the first part of class, and I would get so out of breath I would get dizzy and have to sit out. Definitely try doing cardio before you start.
Oh yeah, and don%26#039;t listen to that idiot %26quot;Milan%26quot;. Do whatever you want.|||Yes you should, you should do lots of cardio, endurance and speed helps a lot in taekwondo. However, if you dont get into shape the taekwondo will definitly put you into shape if you are dedicated and do try hard to learn it.
Remember also, less then 20% overall body fat for women is considered athletically fit. If you do taekwondo you will be an athelete, taekwondo is not just a fighting art its also a sport, it is the national sport of south korea.|||i don%26#039;t think you need to work out. my school divides the workout by belt rank. it might be easier when you%26#039;re starting out than those people who are, let%26#039;s say, a brown belt.|||yes. taekwondo makes you use your lungs a lot. you will be out of breath if you are not in some sort of shape (and I don%26#039;t mean round). you should maybe walk or run for about two to four weeks so that you are able to keep up
good luck|||Nah TKD is for kid, out of shape people, and people who can%26#039;t fight.|||yes it is preety intense i did for years and first couple classes are simple but after that you better be in shape!|||It wouldn%26#039;t hurt... but if you select a good school, you will get a work out anyways... and that%26#039;ll get you in shape.

How do you make it to Team Canada for Taekwondo (martial arts)?
I%26#039;ve been training taekwondo for nearly 5 years now. I%26#039;m a 1st degree black belt for a world renown teacher, but he won%26#039;t tell me how to make it to Team Canada. He%26#039;s been asked to coach for Team Canada but he declined it.
Can anyone tell me how to make it to Team Canada for Taekwondo???
Or does anyone know any info about provincial taekwondo? national taekwondo? international taekwondo? (about how to be accepted into the team)
the most specfic and informative answers gets best answer|||If you really want to do this, you need a new instructor. To go behind his back to compete is disrespectful.

i want to go to a good college and a college that has taekwondo as a sport in california? and i cant find any so if u know any please tell me%26gt;?|||List is here: http://www.ncta-usa.com/colleges.html|||Boise State offers it as a class and an organized club sport, but I don%26#039;t know that they compete with other schools or anything, the way that the football team does.|||hmm.. i dont know. probably most major universities. just a guess.. but if this college has it.. that one probably does too
In the Philippines what are the requirements for me to start a taekwondo gym or club?
If you are a Filipino citizen all you need is a business license from the municipality or barangay where you plan to open the school.
If you live in the Philippines then you know that half the businesses do not even have that.
You will need a place to offer classes, advertising money, and a good teacher if you are not the one.

What fighting style can totally destroy Taekwondo?
Yeah so I have a friend who is taking Taekwondo lessons and keeps bragging about how he can kick my ***, which with my very minimal experience is highly likely so I%26#039;m looking at taking some martial arts lessons. Talent and body sizes aside, what fighting style can primarily destroy someone who knows Taekwondo?|||Whupyoass|||BJJ Report Abuse
|||If he trains where they do light-contact or even no-contact sparring, even someone with no martial arts experience will be able to tear your friend apart.
Just about any art where you learn to fight up close will make it very frustrating for the TKD person, since TKD people mainly use kicks. However, ITF Taekwondo people also use their hands.
And if he ever tries a spinning kick, the best thing to do is to QUICKLY get up close while his back is turned , so you can jam his kick, and basically throw him to the ground ( spinning kicks look cool, but they really screw up the kicker%26#039;s balance if the kick is suddenly stopped.)
Your friend should learn to keep his mouth shut, though, or someone is gonna kick his a** one day when he gets too arrogant.
He might be able to kick YOUR a**, but he should remember : No matter how good someone is, there%26#039;s ALWAYS someone stronger, faster, and better than them.|||Wrestling
Taekwondo is about keeping your distance with lots of kick combinations. A wrestler is the best at pummeling in, grabbing hold of your opponent, and slamming his @$$ to the ground. If you bull rush forward, his taekwondo will not be fast nor powerful enough to have any effect. Once, you get a hold of him, he is done. Wrestlers are professionals at the clinch, and taekwondo practitioners are clueless in the clinch. Take him down, and just batter his face and arms with punches and elbows. Taekwondo on the ground is like the Middle East being civilized.
Also, taekwondo isn%26#039;t really even a combat martial art. It%26#039;s more of a skill sport, scoring points with flashy, impressive jumping spin kicks. Taekwondo is NOT kickboxing, and I doubt he%26#039;d be able to do any real bad damage to you just because of his taekwondo skills. No offense to taekwondo, but I don%26#039;t think it would be that great in a fight.|||Styles don%26#039;t fight each other, people fight each other.
I used to compete in traditional karate, and in the beginning went to a few open tournaments, so I got the opportunity to see various styles in action. Frankly, in sparring you can%26#039;t tell one style from another. there are situations when you can, they%26#039;re called demonstrations and they are not fights.
The short answer to your question is that it doesn%26#039;t make sense. fighting is fighting. If all you want to do is be certain that you can defeat an unarmed opponnent, sneak up behind him and hit with something. style or no style he%26#039;ll go down...and then you%26#039;ll go to jail.|||Tae Kwon do is no better than any other martial arts it all boils down to how and what is taught in any class.
Because no style is superior to another what style you choose is not that important. Understand that there are four ranges of unarmed combat. The four ranges are : Kicking range, Punching range, Trapping range, and Grappling range.
Tae Kwon Do tends to be best at kicking range. The closer you get to someone trained in TKD the less effective most TKD student are. Anyone trained to fight at closer ranges can be very affective against TKD %26quot;IF%26quot; they know how to get inside and take control. Although TKD does use punches they prefer to stay at kicking range. Get inside with joint locks, reaps, throws, Joint locks, punches, ...etc. they are not able to defend as well. so what I%26#039;m saying is simply this. you can%26#039;t stay at the other guys kicking range. If you back up he will move in to maintain kicking range. You must be able to fight well inside his kicking range.|||After a trip to Thailand and conversations with martial Arts (so called) experts I would have to say mui Thai or more commonly known as Thai boxing appears to be a complete defensive and attacking style.
The great thing about Thai boxing is it is great for people who are quiet slim in build so pretty much anyone can become proficient at it.I don%26#039;t think it has much do do with what style you take on to be honest, its more to do with your commitment and dedication at becoming good at anyone type of martial Art.
Regarding matching Thai boxing style against tai kwon do . A Thai boxer is taught to kick at the legs as well as using close in grapple holds and then elbows knees and so forth this would be extremely effective technique against someone who is going to try and stay away from you and just kick, but again its all about how fit and dedicated you decided to be .|||Depends on the individual not the style...but a caution to your friend; if all he knows about fighting is from TKD then he probably better learn to keep his mouth shut.
Take him to the local boxing gym and see if he can beat a guy that has been boxing for two weeks. He might learn some humility.|||it dosent realy work that ways styles dont beat styles so ill give u info on tkd and asome other styles
tkd- punches traind but nopt too well
kicks done phneonaly however they chamber too long so if they aint fast it is realy telegraphed
some type of fitness
now as far as other styles u can look into a lot of random ones but if u close in on the it is harder for them to fight u but then again if the baxck up u gatta no how to fight in that range too
don just fight him cause he nbragging i mean that is kinda messed up|||Do bjj, he will be a lost little puppy on the ground. You will be able to run a clinic and tap him out real quick, then you can rub it in his face if he was really being an ***.|||If you%26#039;re not worried about hurting him, learn some wrestling, take him to the ground and elbow his face in. If you just want to humble him, learn some Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, take him down and choke him out.|||Any time I train with someone with TKD experience, I always ask them if they think the art was at all worthwhile.
