 |
|
In about a couple of days I might be switching dojos soon that being Ryukyu Kempo towards Tang Soo Do. I have achieved my yellow belt in Ryukyu Kempo, and somewhat experienced in it. Within my previous style I have noticed that most of the moves we use are a series of joint manipulations such as tui tai (sp)-- and strikes through our kata. I know very little about Tang Soo Do.
So my question is, what makes both of these styles unique and what are the similarities? I want to be the the type of warrior, who in a self-defence situation can KO an opponent quickly and effectively, and in Ryuyku Kempo there seems many types of knockout techniques, which would be efficient in a street fight.

It is going to depend on the teacher and how they approach the art. TSD has similarities to TKD, but no sine wave motion. The moves have roots in Karate as well. Working a one-technique KO can be difficult, but generating that kind of power comes down to how you train the techniques, as opposed to what style the techniques come from. Proper positioning, use of the legs and hips to generate power, and good technique.

Well I just found out that I would be charged $75.00 monthly if I wanted to go to the Tang Soo Do dojo and another $180.00 dollars for equipment. For every tournament I wanted to compete in, it would cost me an additional $75.00 per tournament. To expensive for my blood.

No shocker on the tournament aspect. But for equipment usage? What kind of equipment?

180 for the equipment! Wow! Do they not allow you to purchase your own equipment elsewhere?

Although I know you have to make money as a dojo to survive. All these cost would kind of "red flag' this dojo to me as being a little to business orientated. I would be interested in what this "equipment" is? I have found some of the better dojo's to be the ones without all the fancy "equipment". |

Know what you should have for equipment?
Sandbag, kwon go (striking board), mirrors (optional).
It's also nice to have a couple of target pads and an airshield.
That's it. Anything else is overkill.

It sounds to me like it could be a gym, with weights and the whole shebang, along with being an MA school. Even though, my school is in a gym, and I only pay $60 per month for use of both.
