Will u win in a school fight if you are a black belt tae kwon do student???

Question

Lets say against someone with a little more muscle than you.
Or against someone that takes boxing.
How would you do in a school fight if you are black belt tae kwon do?

Answer 1

You could probably beat up the person with more muscle. The person that takes boxing might be a challenge.

Answer 2

Sure he has more muscle... but is is lean and fast?
Bulky guys wont be any faster than you can kick them.

Boxing and Tae Kwon Do are both stand-up fighting, but he will get in your face and you have to remember PROTECT YOUR CHIN. He wont be afraid to get close. It will be a tough fight in my opinion.

I'm not sure how much ground-fighting skill you have, but I took Tae Kwon Do for a few years, and they only taught very small amounts of grappling.

Basicaly if you are grounded... you get pounded.

If just some random boxer vs. a random TKD guy, i would place my money on the boxer. In Tae Kwon Do, the sparring is on a point system, and doesn't emphasize on power. In western boxing, it is technique, power, speed, everything.

Stay out of unnecessary fights, and keep training. Maybe mix some Brazilian Jui Jitsu or grappling with your Tae Kwon Do, this will add a whole new element to your fighting arsenal.

Answer 3

Is this a Hypothetical Question or are you asking as the black belt TKD student??.. Hypothetical I'd say it's hard to judge.. as we don't know what sort of person the other person in the fight is.. Have they been in school yard fight before?? are they a good boxer?? are they an aggressive person.. etc..
If this is a question asked on your behalf, I'd say your most likely going to get your butt kicked, cos your a supposed black belt and are still unsure of your ability... Have you done full contact sparring?? or just syllabus and kata's to obtain your black belt...
also in a school fight you would have allot of other factors to counter in such as will spectators jumping in and fighting also, will it go to ground, will any weapons be used (branches, rocks etc..) how long till a teacher breaks the fight up?? remember this is a school yard or street fight, the outcomes are almost impossible to determine without knowing the full story and then some, It is not the ring with a ref, and rule to look out for your safety, neither is it a friendly spar between friends or in a dojo with gloves, and padding..

(I'd back someone who has done boxing for a year over the TKD kid any day though)

1. the pros are: it develops great flexibility, coordination, and self-defense. the cons are: is one of the number one Mcdojo makers, has a few flashy kicks that aren't good for self-defense. 2. Taekwondo is good for self-defense however some schools won't each you this aspect and will probably focus on sport more. 3. this depends on the school it could white belt or it could be the second level. 4. taekwondo is 70% kicking 30% punching meaning that you'll use your legs way more than your arms. It is also referred to as a external martial art meaning it will focus on fighting power with power. 5. not very long, however it may take a while to use them as well. 6. den is an incorrect spelling of Dan, which means grade or belt level. 7. how long is determined by instructor and student, some schools will have it be 6 months to a year while others will have be more like 3 or more years.

Answer 5

Someone who takes boxing because boxers train to beat people up and have more experience with full contact, while in tae kwon do they mostly just do forms and point sparring. The boxer is also more likely to be a tough guy with better conditioning while the tae kwon do guy is most likely some computer geek who's only doing it because he doesn't want to get bullied, so his conditioning and timing will be off.

Answer 6

The TKD black belt would lose. Having taken TKD I can tell you it is one of the least realistic of the martial arts. It was developed in Korea specifically as a sport, not as a complete self-defense system. As a sport it is great; matches between black belts are amazing to watch. But in a fight? No. Also, many TKD schools in America are McDojos--they hand out belts based on time put in and money paid, not on skill.

Answer 7

well it really depends on how you and the person your up agenst have trained... because a lot of tae kwon do schools dont even teach you right they just want your money.... and i gess that could happen to a boxer to..but if you were both trained hard the agressiveness will have to depend on to... but most school fights i have seen so fare ... man im like shorter than everyone but(not to sound cocky) but i can beat thim up... they only punch and grab and the get thier anger have the best of thim..so they are not thinking strate eather.... but if you know the person and know what they do how they live and their atitude then you will be smart enought to know if you can beat thim up or not..

Answer 8

OH I LOVE THESE Q's. If they know what they are doing, let's say they have trained in boxing for 5 years....your dead!! TKD blows and is my favorite "style" to pick on. IT"S A SPORT that's why it's in the Olympics. It has very little street value. Ok so he has more muscle than you.....so what does that mean? He could fight like a flailing girl for all you know. More muscle means nothing. Knowledge is power, experience it something you get shortly after you needed it. So pay now (training) or pay later...ouch my face.

Answer 9

There are no guarantees in the street. Rank means nothing. Your best bet is to not fight. Violence begets violence.
A martial artist trains to NOT fight. A fight is a willing physical clash of two or more egos. You should have enough elf-confidence and self discipline to walk away. The art you have learned is for the purpose of self-defense only. It should only be used to defend your safety. Nothing else.

Answer 10

Tae Kwon Do is not very appliable in a real combat situation, boxing is. If someone has more muscle it only depends on if they have more experience with combat/striking than you. If they do they'll win, if not you'll win. A good boxer would win a fight versus a good Tae Kwon Do master. That's why you don't see anyone using Tae Kwon Do in UFC/Pride/K1, it's not a martial art that is primarily used for striking, it's more of an 'art' than anything else. Muay Thai would be a fighting style that would give better odds, kick boxing would too. Muay Thai + Brazillion Jiu Jitsu would make you the most well-rounded fighter possible.

Someone who trains a month with MT would probably take someone who's trained a year with TKD.

You can judge how well certain martial arts apply in fights by watching MMA. MMA is not limited to one form, therefor whichever style(s) is/are more rounded will dominate. You will see Muay Thai OVER and OVER in all the MMA organizations (Pride fighting, Ultimate fighting, etc.) because it is a VERY fluint fighting style with no blocky, "fake" striking techniques. Brazillion Jiu Jitsu is the best for grappling / ground work. It applies only techniques usable in real-world situations. You will also see BJJ ALOT in MMA.

Point is, blocky, uniform, "fake" styles are exactly that. Go over to youtube.com and type "Mirco Krocop". Watch him dominate a 400+ pound man of pure muscle (Bob Sapp) by shattering his eye socket. Watch him kick another man so hard his head splits. Watch him beat another man up so bad he is bleeding out of his ears and has to be hospitalized for a week. That's striking.

Wrestling does not win fights unless you have absolutely no sprawl and cannot defend against being taken down. Even then, what is a wrestler going to do? Pin you until you give up? Wrestling is not appliable in a real fight, wrestling teaches pinning someone down for mere sport. The most wrestling can do is teach one to defend against being taken down.

Being a black belt does not mean anything. Anything you pay for is going to be based on money. If you pay for lessons, you're paying for your belt, not earning it.

Anyone who disagrees with me does not watch boxing, kick boxing, and/or mma, nor have they ever competed in it. Therefor, they lack the experience and knowledge to give an educated answer. I've been in numerous MMA competitions locally and watch all the MMA events on TV. I fight at 180 lbs and have a professional record of 26-2-2. I can honestly say that 90% of the people I have faught that have had one certain style they use have been one round KOs, TKOs, or submissions. The rest of them lasted a little longer but still lost. Sticking to one style will burn you, and using a style that is meant for 'discipline' or 'sport' will burn you as well. If been matched up with people who were better strikers than me. I took them down and submitted them. I've been matched with people who were better ground workers than me. I kept the fight to striking and didn't let them take me down. Of course I've encountered those who were better at both, hense my 2 losses, but my point is most people go in thinking they have a black belt in this or that and that automatically makes them win. Those are the ones I hope to go against with every fight.

Answer 11

one of the primary rules as a black belt in tae kown do,is never to fight if there is another way. that being said, i think that a black belt would have a very good chance of winning
