New Thanks...
It was developed in the 70s by a 9th level grand master Tai Kwon Do instructor, who based it on biomechanical principles instead of ki and mysticism. The strikes are non-stressing, as opposed to the sharp snaps of Tai Kwon Do. They emphasize self-defense and fitness, which is good, but no sparring, which makes me wonder how the hell you can expect to know how to use it in an actual throw-down.

New actually martial arts isnt that usefull in a street fight
unless you spar free style. It will help you learn that getting hit wont kill you so you can overcome that fear and hit back. If you dont have the Ki and Mysticism you have just another form of calisthenics, not necessarily bad.
thanx,

New Re: actually martial arts isnt that usefull in a street figh
As I said, it uses biomechanical principles, which are pretty much ki without the trappings and with a scientific explanation.

Most of the sparring I've seen in classes (like my son's karate class) is freestyle. I agree that it's pretty much useless if it's scripted.
