<2022-07-25T19:24:33.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: I studied TKD with Jhoon Rhee, and I didn't know that was a big deal until a decade later.
<2022-07-25T19:25:22.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: He adapted it with boxing techniques, so our punches were a lot stronger and our footwork more mobile than most TKD gyms
<2022-07-25T19:40:23.000Z> d0c40r0@nicecrew.digital: Cool
<2022-07-25T19:40:43.000Z> d0c40r0@nicecrew.digital: As long as it’s not prancing around and dislocating your knee every time you kick I think it’s alright lol
<2022-07-25T19:50:20.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: LOL, nah, we had a pretty firm policy of "punch him hard enough and even if they don't award the point, he won't do that shit again."
<2022-07-25T20:23:23.000Z> d0c40r0@nicecrew.digital: Lol
<2022-07-25T20:23:48.000Z> d0c40r0@nicecrew.digital: Yeah the main reason I don’t like TKD is they (for the most part) kick with their knee rather than their hips
<2022-07-25T20:28:20.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: Huh. Again, not really how I was taught, but I don't doubt it
<2022-07-25T20:28:57.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: I went into MT already turning my hips over on my kicks
<2022-07-26T00:03:25.000Z> d0c40r0@nicecrew.digital: That’s good, MT kicks are a little different than what I’ve gathered most other martial arts to be in that they kick upright for the most part but turn it inward at the last second
<2022-07-26T00:03:42.000Z> d0c40r0@nicecrew.digital: Is that what you got with your TKD, MT, or neither?
<2022-07-26T00:43:19.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: My TKD had a lot of 80s sport kickboxing influence (American, not MT), and MT is really the only other time anyone has been focused on teaching kicks in any real way.
<2022-07-26T00:43:23.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: So, maybe?
<2022-07-26T00:43:59.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: MCMAP had a few low kicks, but other than that, my exposure is limited
<2022-07-26T00:45:46.000Z> d0c40r0@nicecrew.digital: Fair
<2022-07-26T00:46:11.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: I know karate guys who get into MMA tend to also adopt use more of a MT/kickboxing style kick, but I don't know if there are karate schools (especially Kyokushin) that teach it that way, or if it's an adaptation 
<2022-07-26T00:46:51.000Z> d0c40r0@nicecrew.digital: It’d be interesting to find out for certain
<2022-07-26T00:48:41.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: youtu.be/NHWri5RMtek
<2022-07-26T00:48:51.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: Some look more effective than others
