    I'm currently a green belt in WTF TKD. Been practicing it for almost a year and a half along with my 12 year old son, who's been practicing it for almost two years. Both of us are scheduled to test for our blue belts at the end of this month.

    3rd Black TKD. WTF. Taught from 1979 until 1991. Taegeuk Forms. Haven't been very active beyond practicing forms since about 1998. Been thinking about joining a school near my home, but I'll be 60 next year and not sure I can make that commitment.

    3rd gup purple belt chayon-ryu tkd

    I havent gone to a class in about 3 years, school and then work got in the way but I still practice kicks and stretches daily, forms I had to do the
    taeguk pal gae and chang han

    I havent practiced forms in the 3 years I've been out of a school, and I am decidedly neutral on them........ great way to practice movements and help get them down right esp the ones you wouldnt normally do. But I kinda agree with bruce lee practicing a list of pre-determined moves how much actual application is there? I would hate to be in the situation where I need to defend myself and have all my combos pre-determined by forms ive drilled in my head, makes me too predictable.
    like the Road dog I've been thinking about re-joining a school but I moved cities to a smaller one and finding a good school concerns me.

    I want to do Judo, it would be more practical training for my employment. But At least i can get some excercise with TKD. I just don't like learning forms. I got a black belt a long time ago and i don't want to learn a whole new series of different forms.

    You guys can add me if you want.

    I am a brown belt in Olympic TKD along with my 8 year old who is a Red Belt (and my 4 year old is a yellow in Hapkido). I'll be testing for Black in a few months. I am working on getting better conditioned right now, mainly b/c I am scared of the 5 hour test! I am learning the Taeguk forms. My instructor is a 4th degree Hapkido master and we are learning Hapkido for our self defense, which is VERY cool. After I have my TKD black, I'll begin training in Hapkido. I love it, and I find it empowering for women!

    I have a Green belt / Blue strip in TKD - but I left TKD to work nights and go back to college. The school no longer has a satalite class in town so I am moving to Krav Maga.

    I practice WTF TKD Palgwe forms. I'm currently a 3rd kup. Should be testing here in the next month.

    Right now I'm focusing on filling all of the gaps in my notes so I can start practicing all of it to make it more natural to test for Black when the time comes.

    ive done both ITF and WTF tkd. i got 5th gup in WTF and first dan in ITF.

    , a lot of tkd clubs do not allow cross training. they beleive that tkD is the only way and that is all you should do. one of the reasons i stopped going.
