I started Karate/Aikido 12 years ago - changed to Ju-Jutsu 6 years ago - added Bo-Jutsu 3 years ago. Good compensation for everyday life.

yep, I'm quite familiar with the ATA. i think basically that there was a major rift in the 70's when TKD was beginning it's roots in the US. The Kukkiwan in Korea was/is the main headquarters for TKD, it's students who went on to teach in the US disagreed with each others politics and all that.

I went to plenty of competitions (sparring and forms) where ATA and WTF and USTF etc all played nicely together.

Main difference between WTF and ATA from my point of view is the ATA includes weapons training at all ranks and the dobak is a wraparound style. WTF uses the v-neck style.

Our WTF school used only the Taegeuk forms; 1-8, then the ilyeo, koryo, etc black belt forms. It was completly traditional; only white, unadorned uniforms were allowed, it was very militaristic in the training regimen, commands were given in Korean only for most of the lesson (except for the newbs), people getting yelled at, LOT'S of team punishment in the form of knuckle pushups, rank testing was very stressful and tough, etc.

Fun times.

I think that if you are going to learn self defense or martial arts you might as well take up grappling and muay thai kick bocking. Those are the most effective forms of self defense. They mix wrestling, jujitsu, and a the fierce stand up of muay thai. When it comes to No Holds Barred fighting ( Renegades, UFC, etc..) The greatest champs are always great wrestlers and well rounded at stand up fighting. All that other crap with belts and flying super round house kicks is garbage....no offense. Im sure its fun.

I've done martial arts on and off for years but then got bored with it...I guess having the frame of mind that you could kick the average man's ass is all well and good but I've never had to fight and don't feel like dedicating myself to something for years in the off chance that I do get into a fight. I'd only be serious about martial arts if hand to hand combat was vital in my everyday life whether it being that it was needed in my career or that I live in the ghetto.

Martial arts are cool for the mental discipline and the work out. I train with weapons I would never use in a real fight unless I starred in Kill Bill 3. I have never had to shoot someone with my Glock but I still train and carry.
