Goddamnit. I live in Iowa and we have NO good martial arts classes. I wanted to take Kung Fu, but no one teaches it arround here. All they have is Tai Quan Do (SP?) and that shit is ghey.
Taekwondo - one word
meaning : foot hand way
i took it for 9years. had my black belt for over 3years now.
its a good martial art, it has strong parts and weak points just like every martial art. and my being a leg oriented person like cal, TKD is the way to go. its primarily kicks, with a decent focus on punches and arm techniques.
personally i think the most practical and functional martial art is Aikido. if youve ever seen a good demo you know what im talking about. that shit fucks people up, and all off their own energy. my TKD instructor was also 4th dan Aikido and 3rd dan Judo, so we got a well rounded style, not just straight TKD.
