I have TKD experience, personally - would not bother. Learn muay thai/kickboxing/karate/yoga as an alternative

hi guys, my virgin post!
our tutor has a strong tkd background, 3 times olympic gold medalist, so our standup has quite a bit of tkd influence, not at all in the punches, elbows and knees but primarily the kicks. alot of them have some advantage over other disciplines with regards to defence. back kicks etc. leg kicks and side kicks ae "snap" kicks, comin back to the stance rather than following right round with a spin which eliminates a portion of counter attack opportunity.
i very much doubt i would learn tkd as a whole, but the kicks are something worth a look at i think. i suppose seein as how our standup class is a number of different things thrown in together then alot of the kicks probably correspond to other disciplines too so i dunno lol.
so if you've got free time and your gym doesnt offer anything else you fancy then id pop along for a few sessions see how you take to the kicks, if you have a word with the tutor about not wanting to actually grade with the class he might work a personal training thingy out for you?
thanks boys!

If it's free check it out. I would have a go at the karate. If it's put I to sparring then it could be fun.

Joe rogan is a tkd black belt and i think he was some kind of champ but he said its the most useless art in mma.

tkd has powerful flashy kicks, but i would not take this on as a primary style.But what harm can learning more moves do. Do the taekwondtuf

loads of people have trained tkd but thay all ditched it once thay started training for mma

All martial arts will have their merits.

TKD is actually pretty good - if you know what to use and what not to use.

Dan Hardy is an example, he's done tkd and chinese gung fu (which is little mentioned) - and even GSP didn't wana stand up with Hardy!

Point is, take to everything with an open mind, and if you find it doesn't work as well as you thought it would (for you) - then try something else!
