Are you a black belt in Tae Kwon Do??? I have an interesting question......?

Question

I'm reposting this to see if I can get some more peoples opinions.......

SO I have this younger girl threaten to kick my butt (it's a long story, I don't particularly want to fight, but if it comes down to it I will.....)..... so she claims she's a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and she's been doing it for 7 years. Now I don't know if I necessarily believe her because the first thing that hinted she might not be is that she spelled it Ty Kwon Do :P .... I've never learned it but even I know how to spell it.

Now what I need to know is if we actually get in a fight would i have a chance? I've gotten into brawls before and always come out victorious. The last time the girl grabbed my hair before I knew what was going on and I ended up grabbin hers back and kicked her in the face a couple times..... don't ask me how I was holding her head and made contact with my foot, I don't even know, I was in an enraged state but everyone that saw it said I made contact a couple times....

the reason I'm so curious is cuz I wanna know if I should fear her in any way. I'm sort of a tomboy who use to wrestle around with guys all the time (usually take them down)..... and even use to get "beat up" by my little cousins who were in tae kwon do, but in the end I usually just brought em to the ground and held them down.....

Should I have anything to worry about with someone saying they're a black belt????????

OH, and I'm usually not the type of person that grabs hair..... I think it's pretty wussy, but that last girl came outta nowhere.

I AM The type however to tackle someone and bring em to the ground....

Answer 1

I am a black belt, my husband is 4th degree black belt, many of our friends are black belts of various degrees.

Don't believe her - Tae Kwon Do, and many other martial arts, are first and foremost about respect and discipline. We do not brag or boast about anything, and to look at my husband and me, you would not know our skills unless someone else told you - humility is part of the discipline.

People who brag about fighting are just cocky people looking for attention - don't be afraid of her. She may have taken a class for a while, but if this is her attitude, then she did not have good instructors. Martial artists also avoid conflict - we are taught the dignity of walking away. Do not encourage this girl, but if she does attack you first, of course, defend yourself. If you ignore her though, she is likely to forget about you.

Answer 2

First off, your a bit of a talker. No offense but that's a lot more than I wanted to read. lets move on. I am a Black Belt in WTF Tae-Kwon-Do. I've bone it for 9 years. From what you've told me, I would bet $50 bucks that say she's never gotten a yellow belt, let alone a black. If you've been in it for 7 years, you know how to spell it. second of all, what ind of Black belt picks fights with people? a bad one. Even if by some miscalculated miracle she actually is has a black belt, she only HAS a black belt. She isn't a real black belt. Black belts don't pick fights in school, period. lastly, avoid the fight if you can. You will gain nothing if you fight, even if you win. but you could loss much. If you fight her as an equal, you are her equal. Do you want that?

Answer 3

First of all, if she really had a black belt she would not be trying to fight you. The first rule in martial arts is that you do not initiate a fight. You are only to use it for self-defense or in competition. So I don't think you have to worry about that at all. But no one wins in a physical confrontation. If you can find any other way to deal with the situation, try that first.
Good luck!

Answer 4

She claimed to have a black belt in martial arts because she wants to defeat you with fear. Sometimes the battle is won before the actual fighting begins because fear sets in. People who brag about stuff like that are usually not trained very well. She's probably hoping you will be scared of her and run.

Answer 5

Sounds like you fight like a brawler. The are brawler like moves you learn once are a red or brown belt, but if you are already comfortable brawling it would be an interesting fight. Knowing where she learned Tae Kwon Do would tell me more about where or not to "fear" her. Her hands will tell you how hard she trains: nails, thickness, bruising ...etc

Answer 6

First, I am wondering why this question is in this category.

Second, anyone who is truly a black belt would never ever threaten someone else. Tae Kwon Do is for self-defense, not to attack someone else. If you can find the name of the center she supposedly goes to, you can talk with her sensei and he will kick HER butt ...

Answer 7

you have a big chance.
martial arts are good when rules are there. of course it has some advantages in street fighting but since there are no rules in street fighting, you do not have to worry/fear.
she might be a fake.
anyway, just avoid it it's not worth it.
