    Joe Rogan: "I made my living with Tae Kwon do, and I will be the first person to tell you it's an almost useless martial art. When I first started kickboxing I quickly realised 99% of TKD is absolutely useless"

    Now, I hate Joe Rogan (See my "Joe Rogan is a Twat" thread) but all of you MMA guys insist he is the be all end all of fighting knowledge, and I disagree with almost everything he says but he's spot on on this one. And you have the nerve to discredit Bruce Lees teachings lol.

    Damn, are there two Vale-on-Trents? Or is it just on the other side of town? Try typing in your zip (post?) code and judo on google or BJJ, or MMA, or whatever.

    He also at times points out when a guy with TKD training lands something that he likely learned from it. Basically he contradicts himself....shocking as that may seem.

    :lol:Sorry mate that's my fault. I come from Stoke-on-Trent but there is two football teams in Stoke, Stoke City and Port Vale. I support Vale so I put Vale instead of Stoke.

    There is a mma gym which is run by Ross Pointon who was on the ultimate fighter. To be honest mate I think I'm going try the bjj after Christmas.

    Cheers pal.

    I recomend it. Some online instructional video's or watching some BJJ rolling would be a decent idea. Just so if they let you roll you will have an idea of how to put in a sub or two.

    I'm too injured up to train at the academy anymore - but I started in Okinawan Karate, did a few years of Aikido, then a long stretch of American Jukido Jujitsu and also Relson Gracie Brazilian jiujitsu - all supplemented by studying Bruce Lee's books.

    I just started Judo this summer. My buddy is a purple belt in BJJ, and he teaches a class at a local college. I do both.

    Joe rogan is a nobody in the world of taekwondo. Ive posted this whole discussion multiple stimes before, sadly the 'search' button is broken and Im not up for typing it out again.

    Just know this, I have trained with two different US olympic team coaches, The US national team, the world headquarters in korea, and have been intimatly involved in taekwondo for my entire life. My father for slmost 40 years. And It is painfully obvious that joe rogan never won anything bigger than a mixed-karate local friendship tournament.

    No olympic/collegiate circut event or anything even near that calibur.

    joe rogan is quite knowledgable. isn't he a blackbelt in TKD. he must know what he is talking about. i doubt he got to black belt in a few weeks.

    I find this on another website:
    What fans may not know is Rogan’s life-long passion for martial arts and specifically Ultimate Fighting Championship’s mixed martial arts’ blend of boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, jiu-jitsu and karate. Rogan earned a black belt at 15 with just two years of training. Soon he became the Massachusetts full contact tae kwon do champion four consecutive times. By the age of 19, he won the U.S. Open Tae Kwon Do Championship, and as the lightweight champion, he went on to beat both the middle and heavyweight title-holder to take home the Grand Championship.
