Why i choose taekwondo?
Honestly, its close to home, it keeps me really fit, and i have developed a good base to move onto other martial arts such as muai thai/kickboxing in the future. i enjoy it, due to my size advantage and having long legs, i see my definite strengths as kicking, so i compare myself to Mirko CroCop in that sense...

What martial art would i choose if i had the chance
I'd definately learn BJJ, but the closest club is a long way away and very expensive. Everyone knows why i would go and do it....cuz it pwns

You look like the guy who played Napoleon Dynamite.

Rex Kwon Do > Tae Kwon Do

Cool Perko, thanks for sharing. Tae Kwon Do sparring is a blast and keeps you in good shape. I wish I never would have stopped. Perhaps I will do it again someday.

hmmm.........
