All About Taekwondo
-
Hi, I hope I can help!
I am a student and I am learning taekwondo at a CC, the differences between a TKD club and CCs are:
1. The course fees
(etc. TKD Clubs are of course more expensive...)
2. The learning environment
(etc. TKD clubs are air-conditioned, while CCs are not)
(etc. The training sessions at CCs are on hard ground, which makes your foot kindda painful after each session)
3. Depending on different CCs, the size of the class may differ. My CC, they have many groups-according to your belt. (about 5-20) in a group. So, I think you can learn quite well too.
My english isnt perfect but I hope these infos help! -
Umm... Hi, juz wanna ask if taekwondo could help you to run faster and build stamina.
Juz curious, so I hope someone could advice.
:thankyou: -
I guess any form of physical activity would make you fitter, but if you actually want to run faster you should do sprinting instead…

All these should help but to really run fast, you need to develop the right technique as well. -

Going to sign ds up for Taewondo soon, at his request (his friends are doing it). A few newbie questions regarding this sport. Thanks.
Will learning martial arts make one violent?
Are they many branches of Taewondo locally?
What are the different belts and their significance? -

I switched my Sec 1 son from fencing to Taewondo and the difference was notificeable after 6 months. He filled up quite nicely, become more assertive, and less gangley in his gait. He is now moving with a lot more confidence. They get graded every quarter so they get to see themselves improving step by step, with the color of the belt to show for their hard work. That's very motivational!Going to sign ds up for Taewondo soon, at his request (his friends are doing it). A few newbie questions regarding this sport. Thanks.

All in, I thought it was a pretty good switch. -
That sounds good, Chief. I like all the grunting when they unlease a kick. Hope it’ll also help my son to be slightly more assertive (he’s usually quite laid back).
I’ve found one Ctr that is perfect in terms of timing and venue. Since ds asks for it, I’m naturally supportive. Thanks for your input. -

Chief, do u know if they can \"jump grade\"? Like learning piano, the students can skip grades and jump to a higher grade?
