I consider myself pretty proficient at TKD and I want to add another fighting style.
What will make me more rounded out and add to my TKD well?
BJJ? What about boxing maybe?
Pretty much anything can supplement TKD, since TKD is almost all kicking. It depends what exactly you want, punching techniques, grappling, throws, hard sparring, etc.
And make sure you have the correct forum before making a thread.
Paging Maverick we need a spinning hook kick to the groin please …
Boxing is a good thing to add to most styles . Though the Boxers stance will cause you to lose your sparring stance and then you will need to learn how to kick all over again . So then you should take some Muai Thai or something else with full contact that uses hands and feet effectively .
Then your good on your feet but cant grapple … guess what comes next ?
yo you take hapkido… can you tell me more about it?
are there a lot of handstrikes in that too?
i heard there’s alot of throws too
holy cwap… yet ANOTHER TKD thread! Yes, bjj and boxing, wrestling, muay thai, sambo…

Maverickz… im asking for helpful advice
i wasn’t bashing TKD or trying to defend it. im asking for advice
what the fuck is you rprobleM?
my problem is with having 20 million threads with the TKD tag. i thought i had made that clear.
take up boxing. you will learn a lot more than just how to punch in boxing. (angles, cornering, ect.)
Hapkido is fun and a damn mutt of a art . Trained properly you will lose to people who focus and take a specialty and train it for years . Trained improperly you will be beat by most people who manage to connect to your face with a good punch or kick while you attempt a standing wrist lock with a KIA !!!
We use all sorts of basic hand techs in our dojang , rigde hand , knife hand , jab , cross, hook , uppercuts , elbows , knees , forarm strikes , cross face , chokes , joint locks , finger and toe locks , eye gouges , finger strikes ( rolls eyes ) , rabbit punches , etc …
we have a freaking insane amount of kicks , sweeps , blocks , jams , counter kicks , and joint locks that are leg based .
I cant wait to get to a r3@l Hapkido Dojang ( Kwon or something I think ) and train with people who focus only on Hapkido at a fullcontact level .
not a jumping hook but it was a bad one …
Stop making shit threads. There are plenty of other threads on this site that already answer your questions.
You’re being fucking lazy and expecting everyone to answer your questions instead of taking 20 seconds to search through 600,000 posts.
If I notice you starting another thread without having searched for the answer to your question, I’m going to give you a 7 day vacation from the site so you can think about things.
Depending on what available to you, these are my suggestions;
If you want to grapple, do some judo or BJJ/submission wrestling.
If you want to do some different style of striking, I suggest (kick)boxing, muay thai or some full contact karate style. Not so much regular boxing, for the problems with kicking mentioned above.
If you want to improve both, find a good MMA school that combines it all in one class.
This thread sucks. If you’re so proficient at TKD you should know where you need to go next.
But since I feel good this morning I’ll be nice. Go do some Muay Thai, it’ll help you a lot and open your mind up to certain things that your McDojang probably didn’t teach you. It’ll at least give you the ability to use your hands more often.
