Martial Arts: Sparring Foam Bokken (Black) Sale Price: $17.99 |
I'm a Black Belt but i dont know whether to continue with Tae Kwon Do or not..?
So i tested for my black belt in may 2004.. but i honestly do not feel prepared to defend myself in a dangerous situation.. I can barely protect myself against other (Martial Artist) girls! A lot of you are probably going to say that i don't deserve a black belt or something.. but the thing is.. my technique is good.. just my sparring isnt... and since thats the most realistic thing.. isn't it pointless to continue with TKD if i suck at sparring?!
Um and another question, how come tae kwon do is really unrealistic at times?? Like with the Self Defense and grappling techniques, one of the attackers hands are always free and it would be easy for them to get out of that position unless the other person is SUPER fast.. (that was really confusing haha.)
?!?
Great question!! Ok First there is no style that is better than another style, each has its own great qualities and weaknesses. Only a great teacher can make a style great and teach you great.
Unfortunately here in the USA, TKD schools are like Fred Villaris in most cases, the McDojos of Martial Arts giving Black Belts away in 2-3 years where MOST true school it takes a minimum of 6 years of training to test for your black belt. Sure some are legit no doubt, TKD is a fine style if taught properly.
IF you feel that you are not able to defend yourself and you suck at sparring then you really need to go to another school. NO black belt should feel so empty after receiving their rank. Fighting is not everything, it is only 10% of Martial arts, the mind is the true martial artist. Awareness to know when a fight or bad situation is about to occur will always help you avoid situations.
TKD is not known for its Self Defence techniques (I have a BB in TKD, but also a nidan in Kenpo and Sandan in Shotokan/Shotokai and kickboxed for 4 years with a proffesional.) That is my point. DO not constrict yourself to just one style. In my school it is mandatory that if you ever wish to receive above Sandan you must study and earn a shodan from another system then they will promote you to 4th dan. Its taken me 16 years to get to my Sandan and I have no fears of handling myself, but I am not stupid either and no when to avoid them too.
If you feel you have learned enough basic karate, try Kick Boxing, or Mui Thai or Shotokan, or even a Mma Grappling and striking with some real contact in it. Sparring is not enough to teach you to control your fear and make it your friend and not your enemy.
Good Luck
