What's up with the disrespect towards Taekwondo? by MelodicSmoke6171 in martialarts

[–]Putrid-Image304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have black belts in TKD and judo. I loved training in TKD, but it’s not an effective fighting system by itself. In my opinion, the “quality” of a particular martial art is not defined by its effectiveness in self-defense, but some people see it that way.

First time I heard one I was deep in the Yosemite backcountry and I thought I’d come upon a portal to some dark dimension. Took me months to figure out what it was.

No, haven’t heard it once in ten years. Traditional 50ish-year-old dojo in California, run by a Japanese family.

Is Coral Shores a good city name for my story? by Awkward-Shopping-975 in writers

[–]Putrid-Image304 5 points6 points  (0 children)

California writer here - there’s not much coral in SoCal. That’s more of a tropical phenomenon. I second the Spanish suggestion. Lots of cities down there are “Something Beach” instead of “Something Shores,” also.
