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"? -- Posted by xcutioners at 2:28 pm on June 1, 2006 I took tae kwon do in elementary school.. I was green belt.. my sister was purple or orange belt... but I was like 7-8 belt away from black belt! -- Posted by TCBA Joe at 12:40 pm on June 4, 2006 My school doesn't have a TKD club, but we do have a Kung Fu Demo team. 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.
