most TKD people ive known an train with will fight with thier hands up outside the ring.
ive done TKD most of my life and longer than my other MA that i practice and everytime ive gotten into a street fight my hands automatically go up. |
Shinobi, most people aren't like this. If they train with thier hands down that's how they will fight on the street. The point of training is to get the body to do specific things. I think this is why many people dismiss TKD on the street, even though I know many TKD guys that actually know wha5t a guard is.
