myrion has a spectacular aura about



I prefer wrestling shoes when I train, great durability and support for the foot, and also saves the toes from breakage while training on mats with high friction. Of course they will restrain you while doing spinning kicks, although I feel I am fully capable of performing things like spinning back kicks etc, while the whole reverse spinning kick is not a kick you want to do with shoes like these. If I go nostalgic and train more traditional with forms etc, I prefer to go barefooted, I never felt comfortable with the kind of low shoe that seems to be the standard in TKD and similar styles.
