It looks like Mudo is very much a WTF-type style and that's what Ive heard from others too. You probably have more sparring than we do - but I don't think that any TKD style is particularly realistic or "useful for the str33tz" (unless it's the streets of Selbu or something :P)

I remember my old instructor mentioned Mudo (many years ago), and that is was run as a business (it's an aksjeselskap after all), whereas, f. eks. NTN is a sportsclub, run by the members on a voluntary basis.

You could have a look at:

as well

Well, we're a private organization, dunno why..... All I know is that even though they state that they're not like other TKD places where they give black belts to many who don't deserve it, we STILL have crappy black belts :(

I also thought that yudo and judo were the same thing in different languages. Found this link:
http://www.usadojo.com/styles/about-yudo.htm
If I read it correctly, I think it says that yudo is the unbastardized version of judo?

I'm pretty sure that alot of that was inacurate. In anycase, though I was damn sure I wasn't incorrect, on the off chance there was something I missed I researched the two and found.... that the impression I was certain of was correct.So, that being said, in order to ensure that Charles Bronson up there doesn't pull a death wish and rip the top of my skull off, I'll explain what I said in better detail;I met a guy of Korean decent at a tournament [stop] He was practicing what I recognized as Judo [stop] I asked him where he had been practicing his Judo [stop] He told me that he did not study Judo he studied Yudo [stop] I thought they were the same word and same style [stop] He had pronounced Judo with a Y and triedMonkeyScrotumCleaning.tv to make it seem as though they were different terms as well as different styles [stop] I found this idiotic [stop]Hopefully I better expressed myslef and did not read wrong information.... if I did, I will be guarding my apartment door with a crowbar in expectation of an overly aggressive middle aged caucasion Buddhist come to tear my skull out.

I never said you were wrong.

I didn't care for your offensive comments about Koreans.

**Shug** · Posted On: 2/13/2008 8:05pm

you mean the implication that they might be a little biased towards the Japanese?

***DerAuslander*** · Posted On: 2/13/2008 8:22pm

No, the idiot part.

Such comments make my head want to explode.... they hate the Japanese and yet its the same damn thing

Do you speak German? I mean, German, English, same damn thing.
