Martial Arts - What Do/Did You Study

03-02-2009, 09:53 PM

I'd like to propose a vote that we remove Tae Kwon Do as a Martial Art and classify it as gymnastics.

Be careful, the Gracie schools had a reputation in the 90s for having the most injured students at any given time.

That's interesting, I wonder what belt level they had most of their injuries in? I trained with a young man tonight that just moved to CO from FL and had trained in a Gracie Barra school. Our school requires 20 beginner classes of just techniques before you can start live training (grappling at speed with a partner). His school allowed live training from day 1. Just wondering what would happen to a bunch of guys in their first week rolling with someone with a few months but not a lot of control.

Anyway, tonight was my 71st class!

Good times!
