Tae Kwon Do depends a lot on the school where you take it. My school was not the watered down version. They did not just hand out belts like candy. On average it took around 10-15 years to earn a first degree black belt. We spared every class just about. We did more sparing than hyungs and we incorporated grappling, joint locks, take downs and throws, kind of like old school karate before it became watered down. My instructors were aware of the shortcomings that TKD could have and openly encouraged students to cross train in Ju Jitsu, Judo, Boxing, Muay Thai, etc… , and the instructors did as well. There are a lot of TKD Mc Dojo’s though, so people should be careful if they’re serious about training for self defense. I’d recommend cross training in other martial arts like we do. There is no one system with all the answers in my opinion.

[@iROChakri]

Doesnt matter if a TKD school is a traditional or a real deal. When TKD first met Muay thai in 19s, those hardcore real TKD fighters got rolled over by Muay thai fighters again and again.

[@green5green569]

same with mine but alot of people only see competition me personally i currently train traditional tkd and it involves alot including throws ground defence uppercuts elbows and knees however none of this is aloud in most wtf competitions meaning alot of people see it as bad whilst i do agree martial arts like muay thai boxing ect ect work alot more often it also depends on the martial artist themselves ive sparred alot of my friends and using tradional tkd ive managed to "win" almost all the time however i cant say it was pure tkd as i also take boxing and without taking boxing i definitely wouldnt be as good combining the two makes an incredible striking advatange so to sum up it tkd depends on the school your taught at and how you adapt it into a real world fight or even spar!

[@jackryan6983]

A common misconception about Judo is that it only contains throws/takedowns, however ground work (Ne Waza) is very commonly taught. In my gym at least, it is incredibly common to practice complex chokes, strangles and arm locks. If a person lands in their side after being thrown, it only scored a Wazari ( a point ) for the Tori, which does not equal a win, but will affect the game at the end of a match if it ends in a tie; it will be used as a tiebreaker, the same as any shido. Once a person lands on their side you do not stop, you will attack and attempt to pin your opponent to the the mat. Or go for a submission using chokes, strangles, and arm bars. In my opinion, ground work is a lot more akin to Judo than people seem to perceive. ( Btw I have been doing Judo 8 years, and am 14 :) )

[@Antizokker]

totally agree

[@stillgotyourmom]

Salute from Luxembourg 🙂 yes my father was a judo trainer too and he made his students train like 40% stand-up 60% bottom as often the fight continued and the opponents lost endurance in ground game but there is sure a lot. As I remember its always 6/6 for each grade means 6 standup techs and 6 ground techs per grade but i guess it depends on your gym too.

As someone who practiced Wing Chun for 2 years, the best martial art to practice for an actual street fight, is hands down Boxing. Boxers are combat trained, also if you are getting jumped by more than one person you'll have a chance at survival.

[@churrocharcharm]

And, it's one of the only "full potential strikes" on the list when it comes to using your body. It uses direct, (sometimes) full body punches to attack someone. While, yes it isnt as flashy as KungFu or something lol, but practically it's great.

[@legendaryfella3236]

Honestly capoeira is probably my favorite martial art because of the historical context behind it. What happens was a group of slaves planned on starting a revolution but couldn’t practice fighting as their captors would stop and punish them for doing it. Their solution was to create a martial art that could pass as dancing so they could practice in broad view of their captors. Their captors were none the wiser and were easily taken down by their former slaves once the revolution began. It really doesn’t get enough recognition as it’s a really cool fighting style.

[@codmclips3966]

Info on capoeira: It is made to look like a dance so slaves could practice it without being punished. It is made to strike and dodge people on horses rather than a normal opponent

É uma dança/luta/brincadeira tradicionalmente brasileira, foi criada realmente assim, uma forma que os escravos encontraram de treinar suas formas de lutar, mas sem parecer que estão a fazendo. Treinavam arte marcial escondidos, fingindo que estavam apenas dançando, por isso que consiste muito na ginga de corpo e movimentos mais acrobáticos.

[@matheusmondaini5273]

It is a traditionally Brazilian dance/fight/play, it was really created that way, a way that the slaves found to train their ways of fighting, but without seeming to be doing it. They trained in hidden martial arts, pretending they were just dancing, which is why it consists a lot of body swings and more acrobatic movements.

Having started from Kung Fu (though more chroeo-based than fighting based) I will say that it built some good athletic foundation for learning just about everything else. The acrobatic movements gave me a really good sense of body awareness control. The cardio involved helps a lot with stuff like footwork too.

[@cristianvaughter2084]

I totally agree with everything you said. I've been doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu for about three years and my friend did do taekwondo around the same time as I started he recently quit though.

[@SenseiSeth]

So I’ve heard Gabriel!

[@pvirgo2757]

Yeah. Also they had to assume their hands would be chained, so kicks and elbows but not much punching.

[@indi3_B]

It's traditional it was forbidden to learn how to fight in African colonies so they made it so you don't touch the adversary. You also work with pretty much every limb depending on the sensei but it is a bit for show. . It does give you the "consciousness" of avoiding the opponent as well as never being sent to the ground. It has a lot of takedowns like really a lot of them, as well as very creative ways of both kicking and punching. It is mostly practiced in Brazil as it developed there from the African slaves, and Brazil is the home of Brazilian Juzitzu Wich is pretty powerful therefore the more modern capoira depending on the teacher may go more towards dance or fighting. I agree that by itself is a low tier altho I think it has some very good discipline and knowlege that you don't get anywhere else. (You also do stick fighting there) (The hands were not chained there is both elbows and punches you attack the throat eyes stomach there are also many takedowns that use the hands) just taking the doubts if ya have any feel free to ask I'm Portuguese with Brazilian roots

[@houstin_0960]

[@apples3474]

Ive practiced Taekwondo for 5 years but my school made sure to supplement boxing jujitsu and muy thai in order for us to still be able to spar without watering down the essence of what martial arts was really made for and that's self defense. Now I'm trying to take up karate. I just wanted to say that you placed Taekwondo in the right spot because by itself it isnt as great as some other marital arts cause of how watered down it has been but when paired with other things you can really do some damage in a real fight

[@KingoftheJiangl]

Depends if you consider sanda as kungfu. If so it's arguably one of the most effective and versatile. Good speed, good power, bladed stance so good mobility, grappling component so good takedown defense. It's great in ring sport and street context with multiple attackers where you need the mobility and the ability to disable your attackers whether it's a strike or throw, and you can easily run away if you need to

I learned Japanese Jiu Jitsu for about 5 years back in the early 2000's. About halfway through my training our school had a major philosophy shift, resulting in an entirely new curriculum. Pre-shift I'd have described it as a much more aggressive form of Aikido (with joint locks and all that crap) combined with Judo (real Judo with much more ground work and not just takedowns). The few kicks we had were never higher than waist high and used more for controlling your opponent than damage (usually low roundhouses to the shins and thigh to slow your opponent down with an emphasis on closing the gap to grappling range). Post-shift pretty much all of the Aikido was stripped out and replaced with something more similar to Krav Maga. The Judo techniques were also replaced with something that looked more similar to the grappling in BJJ. We had kind of a side curriculum where a lot of the older techniques were relegated to. Mastering these techniques was not required for belt advancement but the expectation was that you would keep proficiency in some of them, with kind of a JKD philosophy around them that you would be required to learn all of the core curriculum and by brown and black belt had mastered a few techniques from the side curriculum that particularly suited your particular style. We had two main instructors who owned the club. One was a former Taekwando guy who also trained in Arnes de Mano (so stick fighting was also part of the side curriculum) and Japanese Jiu Jitsu. The other had a background in Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (which was rare to find back then). I'd put our particular style in C tier

[@tyebando5123]

Japanese Jiujitsu is super under rated. From a self defence perspective I think Japanese Jiujitsu is probably one of the best. Definitely a jack of all trades type martial art

I just received my 4th Dan in Taekwondo and have been doing the martial art for over a decade now. I am an instructor and work for my school. I do agree that Taekwondo does focus on the business aspect more. However, the level beyond black belt is a ginormous skill gap not many bypass. I also have started training in Muay Thai within recent years and I found my Taekwondo background extremely useful. However, my Taekwondo school is not just traditional Taekwondo. There is still a good amount of focus on hand techniques along with self defence and one-step. My grandmaster trained in many different martial arts which provided the school much more knowledge than just traditional Taekwondo. I would say Taekwondo is the cherry on top, it can set a fighter much further ahead than someone especially because of reaction time.

I started with Krav Maga as my first martial art. And I have to say that in sports fighting or sparring Krav Maga is not really good. So for that part D would even fit better. Also those techniques aren’t very useful on the street as long as you don’t practiced them for years (which made me change to MMA, I like the striking and kicking part more). But for street fighting, in my opinion there’s no better martial art. Because the key points that our instructor told us were: If you can, run away! If not, destroy him within the first attacks you do. Because as long as he cannot attack you, you can „control“ the fight. Have been in two street fights (both because a guy waned to harass a girl) and I would guess with just MMA Training I wouldn’t have won them so clearly. As an addition: We did sparring after each session for everybody who wanted to :) So all in all the grade is fair, but in my opinion Krav Maga doesn’t fit here. On street fighting it would be A. But it is not designed for sport fighting, so it would an D from my point of view.

I guess it depends on instructors though. I felt it was an excellent base going into boxing and jui jitsu as the major differences was changes in stance and more complex and specialized tactics

I started with Taekwondo between the ages of 7 to 10 in Hawaii, and as a stand alone art its definitely a C or D tier art. However, once I began Muay Thai when I was in my early 20s, the knowledge that Taekwondo gave me allowed me to progress twice as fast as most students and I was able to integrate both arts (which annoyed the hell out of my Muay Thai instructors because I often used a narrow stance and switched stances a lot while sparring whit Muay Thai classmates). In my opinion Taekwondo, or to a lesser extent, Karate, are great base martial arts for kids. Then when they wake up and realize Muay Thai is the king of stand up arts they will have a much deeper range of attacks to draw on.

Took taekwondo for 4 years and was still a ways out from a black belt. It was a good belt system that let you take a test every 6 months to go up a level. It went: white, yellow, green, blue, blue with red tag, red, red with 1, then 2, then 3 black tags, then you had to wait at least a year before trying out for black belt. Each Dan of the black belt required you train for the numbers of years of your previous Dan before progressing. The training was warm-ups, kicks/punches up and down the floor, kicking pad work, light sparring and Taegeuk. It was a lot of fun, but after going to a few tournaments I realized I just didn't have the competitive spirit to push me to enjoy that side of it, so I eventually gave it up. I feel like it does make almost every other martial art look like they don't know how to kick properly though :P

I did wrestling in high school and college and practiced a lot of jiu jitsu and boxing at the local gym here. I found that they each specialized in a specific aspect of fighting, so logically they should all be equally important. Boxing is amazing for upper body striking. Wrestling (i did greco and freestyle) is amazing for grappling standing and on the ground, jiu jitsu is amazing with locks and submissions. In my opinion, they're all equal. Modern Muay thai as taught in many gyms uses a lot of boxing techniques for upper body, so it's kinda fused, much like how karate fused with savate. Lethwei is really similar to muai thai, just with less rules, so in my opinion that gives it an edge lol

I grew up doing Taekwondo but feel like I was supremely lucky in who I had as an instructor. My sensei was an unassuming Vietnam veteran who taught for free in a dank old 1950's basketball gym. He taught for free because he largely considered it a Christian ministry in a very poor community where many kids didn't have structure, discipline, positive role models, or the financial means to pay for lessons. He did this 3-4 days a week for around 30 years. The man is a saint. I started at 6 years old and didn't get my black belt until I was 16, and I was his star pupil. He just had stern rules. #1 You don't advance to the next belt unless you're actually showing the mettle to merit it. #2 You can't earn a black belt before 16, regardless of talent or time spent. We started every session with great a great stretching regiment that has stuck with me to this day, now at 42 years old. He made us do knuckle push-ups on the hardwood court every session. The gym didn't have air conditioning so we trained in the smothering heat and freezing cold. I remember a couple years where he actually made the advanced belts run barefoot around the gym several times in the snow. I know this all sounds fantastical, but he really did this, and it was so character building. He's now a 9th degree black-belt. I only know this because I ran into him while visiting my small hometown a couple months ago. Hadn't seen him for over 20 years but he still looks like he's about 50-55, though he's actually around 70. One of those people you just always count yourself lucky to have known. While I understand your gripes with TKD (I get it, I went on to spend some time in JKD, Golden Gloves, and MMA), I think HIS type of TKD would be immeasurably better than what 99% of the McDojos are offering.

Hey, Im Brazilian, so I know quite a bit about capoeira. It's more or less of a dance, and the origin comes from the African slaves brought by the Portuguese; the slaves needed to train martial arts to defend themselves if needed. Now the Portuguese people didn't allow them to train because they could become strong, so that's why it looks more or less of a dance. The reason being is that the Portugal people thought it was a dance while in reality, it was teaching them how to fight. So that's why they added the music and dance style, to cover up their real plan. Capoeira is a style that involves more kicks than with hands, as well as being about the fluidity of one's body.

[@Masked_SVincent]

I did not know it when I was young, I am 66 years old now, I first started Judo when I was still only 12, because I was the tallest in the class I was used by the teachers to demonstrate various stuff, my break falls became very good. Black belt earned too. Later I switched to Karate, progressed well, even became an assistant teacher, sometimes running classes on my own for new students. was in over 5000 fights, 98 percent victories. Worked as a bouncer at clubs, never lost there, took on 3 boxers in real fights and won. I learned to switch between Judo and Karate and now realize that I was one of the first mixed martial arts students way back then.

Muay Thai also consists of 9 weapons, 2 fists, 2 elbows, 2 knees, 2 legs, and 1 head. In the past, the warriors used Muay Thai to fight in battles when weapons were unavailable, so it was actually used for killing.

It’s called lethwei it’s Muay Thai with headbutts and no gloves and if you are knocked out you can be woken up and still win the fight brutal sport

We don't headbutt in Muay Thai anymore

[@iROChakri]

@@kaiseramadeus233 Headbutt is a very simple dirty move. Don’t need training. Lol

That's not Muay Thai it's Muay Boran. Muay Thai removed the deadly elements of Muay Boran like back head hitting, pp hits etc

[@matthewroy6242]

I've done a bit of most of these but I'm a second Dan black belt in karate. The way that I have done it I would say it is the best one for self defence and to quickly lay someone out.

Man I'll tell ya I've done taekwondo for a long time, and it's still just so fun to make fun of!

[@winstonpan6051]

I've been doing Taekwondo since the age of 5 and thought it was amazing style. Growing up I hear about some schools where you can get a black belt after only two years and even had some friends who have received black belts from schools like these. I found this strange because my instructor was very picky about what was good enough for belt testing and there I thought there would be no way that someone could rank up that fast. I learned that the standard for Taekwondo outside of my instructor's dojang was very low and people claiming to have black belts from such schools could barely fight. I'm very glad I joined the dojang I did because my instructor is amazing and prizes quality over quantity. I'm nearing 10 years of Taekwondo in August and I'm testing for my red belt next week. Master McAurther if your out there you're an amazing teacher.

May I ask you where do you live?

[@macmurfy2jka]

Similar experience at Quality Martial Arts and Sir Elliot Durham. Six years of hard work to earn my black belt. I did get the privilege to train with his son Parrish as a pier. Also learned no Gi Jujitsu with him. Parrish and I were really good grapplers, both had high National ranks at one point. I miss both of them.

[@mrmatrix7001]

Yo but I was taught by a private teacher who teaches people near my house,I loved teakwondo I started when I was 5 same like you, I quit after I got jr black belt. My teacher was sooooo picky, he didn’t allow us to wear our belts unless we performed everything from introductory poomsae to kiropoomsae(I think I misspelt it).I had to do 100 push-ups,sit-ups,10 minutes of horse riding stunts etc etc... yeah you get the kind of teacher he is.

[@dylanmorris2264]

Ya man I know what ur talking bout I took me 10 years to get my black belt I started when I was 3 and have been doing it for 12 years now and I’ve gone to provincials and seen other 13 year olds with like 3rd degree black belt but are not very good at all

Kung fu is fake

[@Endru85x]

@@martialfarts4509 TBH, i would like to see Xu Xiaodong going againt someone whot trained mantis for example. I,ve seen video on YT, from section which mixed traditional techniques with sanda methods of training. The problem with kung fu is that performance aspect became a dominant one somewhere in the past, and the actual art of fighting was lost. What,s worse, people actually believe that most or all chinese fighting style came from temples like Shaolin, which is bullshit, kinda like stories about ninjas wearing black cloths. Also, when lot of artists from different styles got their ass kicked by MT, they backed in the corner to create excuses, instead of making some progress.

[@shawnbeard9570]

I like your arankings and respect the fact you gave your own style a C rank. I have a blue belt in Tae Kwon DO and known its limitations. I agree with your assement also.
