Well, that's a nice objective review.
I heard from a guy who once talked to a guy who came into my club that my judo coach killed two elephants with an RNC, at the same time.
Yeah, this looks like a crock of ****.

No dojang is perfect i love tkd but even i know its not perfect and to say your dojang is perfect is not only ridiculous it freakin arrogant.
The objections raised are not just for your scores, you idiot.
Your 'review' is nothing more than a string of gushing, sycophantic allegories about how much of a bad mofo the instructor is. Guess what, we don't care about some anonymous student coming here with 'stories' about how he took apart a world kickboxing champion (you need to back this **** up, a name would be real nice), and we certainly don't care if "he could have totally, you know, owned in kickboxing if he wanted to", if he's got no fight record then your words don't mean a fucking thing in this regard.
Now, taekwondo has not got a good repution around here, especially WTF style, so a 10 for striking instruction is going come under immediate scrutiny. Admitedly, some of the **** it gets is just bandwagoning, but an awful lot is pretty deserved. That being said, they do participate in the olympics, so for this gym to recieve a high score in striking instruction I would expect it to at least have a few olympic level competitors under it's belt, if not a few decent kickboxing and MMA competitors as well. Does it?
You also make no mention of they gym, it's size, the quality and availability of it's equipment or it's facilities. We would like to hear more about these.
Maybe arguing on the internet is like the special olympics... but in that case, right now you're losing. This would make you sub-retarded, no?
Western boxing sounds good, and I didn't give my opinion of TKD. So, has your gym produced any competitors of note?
As for gong sau, I live in England, if you're really that set on coming over I'm up for a friendly sparring match. There's a throwdown at Grimbsy pretty soon, I was half planning on attending anyway (assuming Dave wouldn't shoot me when I got there), if you're set on it I could meet you there.

Man F*ck Y*ou. If you think I am going to get into a pissing contest with someone who is probably a yellow belt fourth grader you are wrong.
Because, of course, yellow belt fourth graders are common around these parts...
I have no desire to swap insults with keyboard commandos or internet tough guys.
Because you'd be called to face the fact that your training isn't what you think it was, or that you aren't as badass as you've been led to believe? It's hard confronting reality sometimes... We understand...
I don't know if you are anywhere near St. Louis MO but if you are, give me a time and date and I will meet you and give you a demonstration of "Martial Arts".
You won't trade insults, but you'll drop challenges? Yeah, you've definitely got the superior set of morals...
As far as your low opinion of TKD. This school fully incorporated Western Boxing,
Which means it isn't TKD anymore, stud. If TKD was so great, it wouldn't be running all over creation "incorporating" material from other arts. That, in and of itself, points out the hemorraging flaws of this pathetic "art." The only people that think TKD is a good thing are the ignorant, who know no better. Pretty much everyone else transcends the mind-wiping brain-wash by training in something else...
If you can't express yourself in a civil way, I have nothing else to say to you.
Enjoy not talking, then. :occasion1

I think if you look again you will notice that the grappeling catagory was NA. I wish that I had just left these topics unrated. I know that I can not give an unbiased accounting for this school.
I have a lot of memories tied up with this school. My sister had an annurism that burst in class there. The doctors called it an arterial venal malformation. Basically it was an annurism. They said it was a good thing it happened while we were in class and not while she was home sleeping. We were just doing situps when it happened. An ambulance came and took her to the hospital. She is O.K. now but it was close.
We never talked about money with Tom (my instructor) but I know that my Dad quit paying for the classes that last year. Tom let us go for free.
I remember one time I made Tom mad. I had a case of walking Pneumonia. I had absolutely no wind whatsoever. None, I was sick. Tom had invited another school on the weekend and we were going to spar with them. Kind of like a two school tournament. I guess he was good friends with their instructor. Well, Tom really wanted one of his upper belts to compete. I had told everyone before hand that I was sick and would not be competing. I just assumed Rob would. Rob was the senior student. He was also very good. Well for some reason Rob just did not want to spar. So Tom asked me to. I had just come to watch. But I did not want to let him down so I went home and got my gear, came back and sparred.
I fought the other teams best black belt. The first round I was tearing him up. The guy was fast but he left himself open a lot and he really had no power. So I am just tagging him right and left. (This was taekwondo rules with allowing punching to the face, continuous rounds. Not points, we did not do points.)
Then came time for the second round. About halfway into it I am dead on my feet. I can't breath, my lungs are burning and sore and this jerk is trying to hit me as hard as he can. So I said to myself, I can either quit or knock his ass out. So I tried to knock him out.
I reverted to a little street fighting, more like hockey fighting. I grabbed his lapel in my left hand and just started hammering him with my right. Hard. I was ignoring all of his techniques and just beating on his head. Eventually he dropped to one knee but I kept hitting him. I know this was stupid but I was trying to end the fight. I had no wind and I did not want to be embarassed in front of my class and family by losing to this guy. Just when I was about to deliver another right hand I heard Tom yell my name and I looked up and he was pissed. I could see in his eyes that I was about half a second away from an ass whooping. So I let my opponent go. Tom told me later that I embarassed him. I was very sorry about that. I was a jerk when I was young. No doubt about it. :bs: like this one time at TKD camp i totally kicked some dudes ass no really its true:nobodycar

Screw you. Isn't the point of this forum to swap stories about martial arts? Maybe you don't have any or are not articulate enough to post something readable. Douchbag.

No the point of this forum is to do dojo reviews and if you want read my dojang review . im begignning to think you may be some 13 year old wannabe because all youve done is blow your schools trumpet and told stories about how like deadly you are . now i may have given my teachers class a high review but even i still had bad points i dont actually see any you've made about your old class

Where is your dojo review? I have already addressed why I did not give any bad points several times. I have said that I wish I did not have to give a number rank because I don't have anything to compare it to and to me it was great. If that offends you, I don't care. You think I am a 13 year old wannabe? Wrong.
I think you are the 13 year old. Ever hear of capitalizing the first word of a sentance? Or a comma?
How is this post about me being deadly? If you read it you would have seen that I was sick and had no wind when I was sparring. How is that deadly? You need to not make assumptions about people you don't know. Not everyone is a keyboard commando. As I said to the other trash talker, if you are in my area I would be glad to give you a fair fight then you can see if your theory is correct.

My school is uktc Alnwick tkd and the fact im not very good at wrighting is no indication of my age if you wanna drop by my class for a friendly spar go ahead but at the moment it looks like your the internet warrior here:boxing:

What state is that in? How am I an internet warrior? I just said if you are in my are I will fight you. I think you just want to call names and be insulting. Why do you offer a friendly sparring match? I can do that at class. I would much prefer no rules, no pads. If you are going to fight you may as well do it for real. Otherwise don't talk trash and start things with people you don't know.
