Default Re: Official Martial Arts Thread

I happen to hold a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. In my experience, although I've never had to use it in a street fight, the actual techniques themselves wouldn't be as effective, but combined with self-defense training (which I also have), using grappling, pressure points, AND the strikes can work wonderfully well.

So in essence, you're right...street fighting isn't based on style, its based on kicking the other person's ass so you don't get yours kicked. Its all in how you use what you know.
