My 2 cents. Having trained mostly on Korean arts with emphasis on standup (even then, mostly kicks) I do like the stand up styles but I'm not blind to see that other aspects are important, if I'm training to be MMA fighter. If I was training to be an Olympic TKD, I'd forget the wrestling and concentrate on what scores the points. I did wrestle 2 years in high school and it's a great addition to overall training. Again, if you go by the "rules", wrestling is different than BJJ or MMA, since in high school wrestling, you try not to be on your back even if you are in more controlled position. |
