I currently am a black belt in Judo and i am wondering should i take tae kwon do? Is tae kwon do alot like?

judo? What is tae kwon do is it alot of stricks and hits? Should i take boxing instead?|||go with jujitsue,|||Tae-kwan-do is kind like a Korean version of Japanese karate. There are many styles of martial arts, so I suggest doing some research, find out what form of martial arts you like. But make sure you find reputable master, not some joker with %26quot;black belt%26quot;.|||You are a black belt in Judo and you don%26#039;t know anything about Tae Kwon Do?





Yes, you should take boxing or kickboxing instead. Tae Kwon Do is nothing like Judo, it is mostly kicking, and is a striking Martial Art.





Boxing will help you develop some footwork and accuracy, because realistically you aren%26#039;t going to be kicking too many people in a real fight. With boxing or kickboxing you will get the hand speed, accuracy, and most importantly defense to round out your Judo.





What is your favorite technique?|||I am currently in Taekwondo. And I love it. Taekwondo is just like japanese karate. There are a lot of punches and kicks in taekwondo. I would go for kickboxing if i were you its a lot easier.|||No. When I studied Taekwondo it was nothing like Judo. You may want to look into taking Jui-jitsu.|||I would take ju-jit-su. It%26#039;s easier than boxing or tae-kwon-do.|||Try Wing Chung Kung Fu, the style is more fluid, like judo.|||I recommend taking Kenpo Karate. It%26#039;s fast and more useful for self defense with less emphasis on kicking. It%26#039;s the first American martial art that combines techniques from many other martial arts. It%26#039;s easier on your bod than taking Tae Kwon Do. Jujitsu is great for developing grappling techniques. The combination of Kenpo and Jujitsu is awsome - Kenjitsu, but it%26#039;s new and not many teach it.|||Hi,





Judo is a defensive martial art involving grapples, while Tae Kwon Do is more of an offensive martial art with kicks and punches.





Since you practice defense, why not improve yourself with offense, Tae Kwon Do is not like Judo, but as you master and become very advanced in martial arts, you will find that they all have techniques in common.





Tae Kwon Do is a modern martial art from Korea that is characterized by its fast, high and spinning kicks.





Boxing is more of a sport not a martial art. As the name says, it involves only boxing (Not talking about kickboxing). With Boxing you will learn to defend your upper body, while your lower body will be exposed. I recommend you try kickboxing or Muai Tai, they are similar to Tae Kwon Do, but are more specialized in using the elbows and knees which could be very damaging to your opponent.





Hope my answer helped.





Regards|||The short answer is it depends on what you want to learn , tae kwon do is a art that does a lot of high kicks , spinning kicks and jumping kicks . If thats what you want then look at of the TKD schools in your area and find the one that suits you . If you want to learn how to punch then look into boxing , but be prepared for a look of sparring and hard training . The upside is you will learn how to punch well in a short amount of time .


I started in Judo and I did find that some Karate and TKD stlyes don%26#039;t mix well with because of the deep stances , that some of them use .


Look around watch some classes go to some dojos and gyms


I hope this was helpfull





Tom Mac|||The anwer to this quesion depends greatly on what you seek for your consideration of TaeKwon-Do or boxing, and unfortunatley you don%26#039;t specifiy that desire.





As a black belt in Judo, I would suggest training in a discipline which provides different concepts and strategies for defending yourself is an excellent choice, as it will broaden your understanding of defensive concepts, it will highlight strenghts and deficiencies in your current Judo experience and abilities, and it will add to your general knoweldge of your own abilities and effectiveness.





Your choice will be, do you wish to take a similar art i.e. one that will not take you too far from your current discipline and its concepts and techniques, or do you wish to take a different art i.e. one that will take you away from your current discipline and expose you to new ideas and concepts.





I would tent to recommend staying with traditional martial arts such as TaeKwon-Do, Karate, etc. if you go for something different rather than boxing, but I admit to some bias in this :) Honestly, it%26#039;s probalby much more important to find an instructor you like and a discipline you really want to do if you choose to go beyond your current Judo training.





Good luck to you!
