thats what I keep telling you spidergrl,that since you are a black belt now you should try other things like karate.

i know, but there aint that many around where i live, and plus, i have no spare time, not even to get a job!

okay before i take this damn sharpening stone and throw it out the window can one of you tell me how to properly sharpen a katana?

Spidergirl, my suggestion is that if you are a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, instead of trying karate, I would suggest finding a Filipino martial arts school in your area, whether it be Kali, Silat, Eskrima, or Balintawok..You would benefit from it more than karate.

I studied Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, and Judo before I got into Filipino martial arts and I have enjoyed it and benefited more from it than the other three disciplines.

I dont have any of those martial arts around where i live in new zealand. and im good at taekwondo fighting, I dont want to change 😉

I'm not saying give up Tae Kwon Do, cause it's a good discipline no doubt, but it never hurts to learn other disciplines to further your fighting skills...LOL I've studied four different disciplines and I incorporate a little bit of everything from all four different disciplines...
Just makes you a more well rounded fighter...Just food for thought... 😉

Just curious to ask you but where you study do they incorporate, Hapkido or Aikido or any other styles with your TKD? Most schools do.

Here is a site on New Zealand Arnis, a Filipino style.

And here is a very informative site that list a bunch of New Zealand schools of various disciplines.

Yes it def. has it's advantages. 😉 But I wouldn't say really alot of styles, but it's good to have your striking style, which is your TKD and it's always good to have a form of joint manipulations in your arsenal like Hapkido, Aikido, etc. and def. some grappling skills cause 90% of the time most fights go to the ground....

How did you do this weekend?

I used to fight in TKD and Judo tournaments alot when I was younger...

And I'm planning on fighting in some Eskrima tournaments soon. 😄

I won, it wasn't a good score or anything and i wasn't really impressed with the fight, I just really didn't like it. other martial arts put together would be totally awsome. Why how old are u?

Congrats on your win. 🙂

I'll be 30 in august...started studying martial arts when I was 13( TKD and Hapkido, got into Judo when I was 15, then got into Filipino martial arts when I was 21, so I've been in it for quite a while lol, not in shools the whole time but have never stopped training really...
