I just read that taekwando forms are less complex then Karate forms. So its' easier to master taekwando forms....is that true? Thoughts? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each martial system you see?

I have been in many fights, I have won and lost. To be a good warrior you must feel the blows of somebody that doesn't want you to live afterward. You must suffer through being broken, then you will truly know what fighting is. You can memorize movement, but unless you can move aside the fear of loss, then all is for nothing.
I haven't studied any kind of martial arts, but experience has hardened my body and mind for action through pain.

how I memorize forms so fast. I train for 4 hours or 3 hours pending on what classes are available. I used to attend 4 but scheduling changed for what classes area available. Every half hour I work on a new segment cause after 5 times I got it. Then I just practice it so by end of week I have it down then 7 more weeks to hone my form to pass. My next goal is to go up another full rank vs. half rank and may have my black belt at end of 2024....we'll see I has to do some calculations. When you get to higher belt I forget which one....you go up half ranks unless you do something that just idk knocks it out of the park.

I haven't studied any kind of martial arts, but experience has hardened my body and mind for action through pain. I hear you and have been in some fights too for self defense. My training helped me become even better though. My goal is to avoid getting broken and when you get hit once you aim to be faster, better, stronger. A fight to the death will never be fair and its unpredictable. You just have to get good at reading people and responding accordingly. In our kung fu school we do iron body training and it has it's advantages. I think that everyone should train in a martial art. So I also disagree with you because while you may have some it may not be enough. Experience only gives you so much. The movement's and techniques we learn go into that fight to the death match.

I see your point, but it's not enough of one for me to change my mind. We all have are own ways of living out are darkside beliefs.
As you said experience only goes so far, so that must mean that your experience in martial arts only goes so far as well.
To down play experience is to down play the greatest teacher.

As you said experience only goes so far, so that must mean that your experience in martial arts only goes so far as well. To down play experience is to down play the greatest teacher. I'm not trying to ever be enough to change your mind....that'd be a waste of my time. You perceived my context about experience wrongly so let me be more clear. Non martial arts combat experience can only go so far. I have trained in military combat and still do. I get acess to a lot more techniques that helped me so every time something happens to me whether the enemy is non combat trained or combat trained I win. I get training on how to deal with more then three opponents at one time and I get trained how to handle intense amounts of pain yet still push through. I learn how to dismantle someone in a few moves and kill someone in a few seconds. For me my older self who got beaten by a girl who fought back when I was younger...didn't know what they were doing and the learning process was slower. I also don't just get into fights to learn that way and hope I live. I think that is reckless. I don't think my way is superior yet I know it has it's benefits. You should know by now that everything I say is from my own viewpoints however I guess you don't read my stuff which is fine. Sith are individuals. Each person says stuff through their own viewpoints. We can agree to disagree. I understand you perceive it as downplaying which is fine, that's not my responsibility for how you perceive things. Good luck. I would suggest muy thai, Krav Maga, and ju juitsu to anyone that wants to develop a rounded warrior foundation. When someone gets hit by me it hurts more due to my iron body toughing. When they kick my shins it hurts me more then them...that is a benefit. Anywho this is all I have to say regarding this convo with you and wish you the best in your life. Do what servers you. *shrugs and focuses elsehwere*

Forms are, to quote a favorite movie of mine, "systematic uselessness of routines that lead nowhere."
I took 2 years of Tae Kwon Do and really didn't learn anything important. I memorized the forms up to brown belt, at which point I realized I really wasn't getting anywhere. My eyes were opened when I heard the above quote.
Conversely, TKD gave me flexibility and strength. In other words, the "martial art" was useless, but the foundation of hard work was all I needed.
Nowadays I'm more of a Jeet Kune Do man.

I don't disagree with you friend, I like tkd due to the tricking, flexibility, and head kicks that can be powerful. Would I use it for actual combat stuffs, naw but it sure is fun for me. Plus in kung fu our school doesn't do competitions and as a sith I find being competitive can be fun. We aren't supposed to use o ur stuff in competitions due to Sifu and High Master says it takes away from de art. Plus idk it's just more brutal and to the point that even the karate person who was a black belt wasn't expecting it which was confusing to me. I was expecting him to try to kick my ass, counter, and realize what was going on but nope. nnnn I don't share this to brag btw, I share my victory to share the moment I realized while one should never under estimate an opponent each system has it's strengths that some just don't know. So it has it's benefits.

So it has it's benefits. I find value in learning to defy gravity and believe in yourself. It's scary at times and I'm pushing through resistance to play with movement to do things I dreamt about doing. I am working on a front flip now. I did it one time on a trampoline and will share it later. I think our creed is helpful and a good starter for most martial artists. It's a good confidence builder, good foundations for youth, and more. A good kick to the face can suck and knock someone out. It has power but for me I won't always kick above the belt in a real combat situation. Our school just got nominated for one of the most competitive schools. Our teachers torture us...to clarify good tortures us *giggles* but it brings out da best in us. This is why we always have such a big presence in the national events also and for now have the cup each year. I love the torture and giggle because I know the teachers do it for our own good. We aren't like the rest of the schools and I'm just honored to be back in this art after being gone for 10 years. I love martial arts and learning. I love growing and expanding. I love being physical and building my somatic prowress. I can do a pushup now and am proud of my accomplishments. I'm working my pull-ups again.

What else did you practice in your training besides forms? in other words what other methods did you undertake to achieve your strength and flexability?
