no offense,but im korean too....when my father took gumdo and taek won do along time ago in korea, it was well disciplined and good. Now, in the US, you got yellow belts going around opening their own black belt schools and promoting kids too fast. I know this guy at my old hs that went around saying he was a 2nd degree black belt, well, this black kid wanted to see and that other guy did a spin heel kick and missed the guy 2 feet, then that black guy just punched him in the face over and over and then he got tired and said oh, f**k it im leaving your ass on the ground and walked away.

This is why you don't go around bragging.

Yea , thats the name..sounded so unusual..


Theres a disadvantage for that...its too fancy. Someone could sweep you at the elbows...

and then after they sweep you, you flip and land on your feet ready to strike again.

i used to be in taek won do, but i stopped after i got my red belt. i took up ueshiba aikido for the past 3 years, but i stopped recently cos of school. hope i can take it up again one day. as far as discipline is over here, it's pretty tough, especially for Aikido. i got scolded quite a few times by my sensei! ^^;;
but of cos in Japan they are much tougher.

for those taking aikido in usa, do you practise bowing to your sensei whenever you want to speak to him? and other common japanese courtesies like that? i had to get used to that!

i don't think it's that simple, or that easy either. every time i've seen real capoeira done, it was with 2 people practicing, and it's performed more like a dance (mind you, capoiera was a martial art formed by slaves who wanted to disguise it as dance). Most capoeira classes offered that I've heard of seem more like basic self defense classes and also focus a lot on teaching people to dance.
It doesn't seem like it'd be practical in a real fight, you have to first build up a rythm, and most of the moves rely on full-body motion, where you're flipping and doing handstands, it seems like the process of attacking or defending would be rather slow, and complicated to pull off.
Then again, I'm no expert on this matter.
