Lol...learn your history...tkd was made to be the nationalized sport from tsd. This being one of many offshoots there from gm hwang kee's original, just like tkd
I am a Black Belt under WTSDA from my youth. I then embarked on a very eye-opening venture into Muay Thai, boxing, and jiu jitsu. Very curious how this is still popular when it has been revealed to be essentially choreography rather than a parctical way to defend yourself.
I trained in tang soo but also other martial arts, and while I agree, it's not exactly the best system for self defence, and it is as you say very choreographed and unrealistic, I think to dismiss it entirely on that basis shows a lack of understanding of martial arts. People don't train martial arts exclusively for self defence. Most people are there to get fit, doing something they enjoy, and to escape the tedium of real life for a few hours a week. The whole concept of 'self defence' is utterly ridiculous anyway. Most people never have to fight off an attacker. You're far more likely to get hurt in training than in 'the street'. And if you do get attacked in the street it's not going to look anything like anything you've trained for, in any style. Nobody is going to bow at you or touch fists or whatever ritual you've become accustomed to in training. If they attack, it will usual be with no warning, and it's not likely to be one on one. So to dis a martial art because its unrealistic is just silly. All martial arts are unrealistic in the context of 'self defence'. People are there for fun, for escapism, for fitness, sometimes just for the social interaction. When protecting yourself, these things are far more important than fighting. More people die of heart disease than are murdered. Therefore if you want to protect yourself, get fit, look after your ticker. If a ridiculously choreographed pretend martial art helps you do that, then it is effective for self defence.
@@anftrew3775 I hear you. That is valid. I suppose I see it as better to get all of those things while ALSO doing something more useful for self-defense. Jiu Jitsu gets you all of the positives of TSD and very few of the negatives.
@@anftrew3775I hear what you're saying Trew but I studied Moodukkwan in the mid sixties under reputable instructors and head Jang Kwan Nim. The martial arts is what you make it. The students that were there for fitness didn't last long because the pace became unbearable and the technique unforgiving. From the minute we stepped on the floor every sound (command or count), sight and movement (even the exercise) was geared towards your self defense development. For us forms (kata's) meant work. After doing a kata ten times felt like you ran a mile. Yea, that's right classes were demanding. The people that wasn't serious lasted three months at best. There were a few people that showed up with a black eye from a street altercation but that's part of the learning process. I've have a few alterations against an ice pick, meat cleaver, professional and unprofessional attacker which I sustained some injury. But I never lost my composer and moved with split timing to deal with each situation appropriately. A lots of people think the martial arts is a game and practice it to that effect. And there are also people who take it very seriously and develope themselves into a lethal weapon. Those people are willing to go to work, run their errands, spend time with family and still manage three hours of practice their technique each day to fulfill their dream. Are they fanatics? No. They just want to know that every punch, kick, chop, elbow, grab or spear hand will be perform with thunderous force (power) to render their attacker(s) helpless. This is what divides the men from the boys in learning the martial arts and making it work in a real life situation. Lastly, we were taught if we must die make sure to take you with us. An kyung hi ki sip si yo!
@@WillReusch jiu-jitsu, if you mean BJJ, is awesome. But it's not the be all and end all though is it. In 'self defence' in the context of being attacked in 'the street', your goal is not to take the one unarmed attacker to the ground. The goal is to escape, which may mean striking maybe once to create a distraction so you can run. Regardless of style, it's not self defence if you have the luxury of choice and choose to have a fight. TSD has the fast strikes, and a hell of a lot of focus on keeping your balance and staying on your feet. For all its shortcomings, you can't knock it for that. And if you really can't escape, and YOU get taken to the ground by your attackers, then you're in a dire situation. If you find yourself in this really awful situation, then that's where BJJ might come into its own.
@@larrysimmons5682 I hear what you're saying. But with respect, everyone claims their training is/was super hard. I believe it was harder years ago than now. That's my experience anyway. But that said, my TSD experience is one of my more recent ventures. The training was hard, but it's no harder, in fact probably a lot easier, than some non martial arts fitness classes. I think we have a tendency to convince ourselves that our training was the best, because we have an inherent desire to justify our expenditure, in terms of time and energy, and to sind extent financially. But the truth is, outside of martial arts, there are plenty in zumba and cross fit classes and similar who train harder in terms of fitness, and they can hack it. If course that's not knocking the martial arts. As I mentioned before there are many reasons people train, and some really do just enjoy the exercise. Some like to think they're learning to fight. Those people don't usually stay long, tend to hop about between styles every few weeks before eventually seeking out boxing, muay thai, or MMA. Still others are looking for the platonic physical contact and comradeship. Some almost see it as their church, a place to find inner peace for a little while, where they don't have to think for themselves because everyone is doing the same thing. In terms of fitness, I know martial arts used to be harder than now, but martial artists from years ago are often, with respect, not the fittest people. That credit usually goes to those that take a more scientific approach to fitness. An approach which is often juxtaposed to that of traditional martial arts.
