If so, what belt are you and how long have you been in the martial arts?

I hold a 6th Green Sash in Kung Fu. Our system goes 10th white; 9th, 8th, 7th, Yellow; 6th, 5th, 4th Green; 3rd, 2nd, 1st Brown; 1st, etc... Black.   Although my school doesnt have a TKD club, one teacher has a TKD club at our local church. I've been cross training in TKD for the last year. i hold a yellow just because i've never tested and don't really care too.   I am also part of a group of guys that gets together to do some boxing, and I've been cross training in boxing for the past year.   And, this summer I started taking Graice Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu. I take 5 classes a week. I just got my first stripe on my white belt. And to the guy who wants to do BJJ, do it, it is awsome. Also train a little with some wrestlign friends here and there although I suck at wrestling. Check out my martial arts demo team's website. www.kiksteam.com Congrats on the stripe.

It looks cool but since it focuses on kicking, it's high risk. Next year I'm taking tai chi and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Eventually I want to learn akido or hapkido too, That's their opinion.  You should give it a shot yourself instead.  There's more to TKD than high kicks IF you study TKD. And what do you mean by "high risk"? SilverClover Posted at 4:26 pm on May 26, 2006 Tae kwon do is the pointless martial art accroding to all my serious martial arts friends.
