Hmm well i personally enjoy sparring a lot, but even sparring can not be fun when your injured or not having a good day. Self defence is always something i enjoy when we do it and thers something about the Dan patterns that i find quite inspiring. Thers sides of training that havent been explored fully for me yet so its hard to say what i enjoy the most. But for me i guess i enjoy everything in modiration expect for sparring, morE MORE Sparring!! lol

I love all parts of Tae-Kwon-Do... Although after thinking hard about this question, i have to say, the part of Tae-Kwon-Do I enjoy most has got to be the Sparring. I love 2 sparr with every1 no matter what their age or experience! I like all the flying kicks 2 but i like sparring 2 much, i like fighting :p. Who Doesn't?

yh it wuld b sparrin i guess.....i dnt mind gettin the bruises its all part of the fun......hehe....but i do lyk doin other stuff like all the kickin work n stuff too but i fink sparrin is the bit i enjoy the most...

i got to say everything we do in class is enjoyable but the mostly i guess will have to sparring even though i we have it for a short period its the most intense part of the training which stimulates and dilivers all the power we have at the end of every class1

by the way guys the anonymous message was from me didnt realise about signing in lol

unlike u guys i dnt like sparrin dat much.. i prefer perfecting my kicks and doin pad work.. but wat i like the most are spectacular spinning and flyin kicks.. i probably will never use it in sparrin but it looks good for demos and stuff..

Yeah i love all parts of taekwondo but my favorite has to be sparring and learning new sparring techniques. I also love the massive demo kicks aswell (this is john )

Come on were are the Poomsae Lovers??

Someone needs to be the poomsae EXPERT, apart from me.

Esrar

Never! I h8 poomsae lol. It's all about perfection nd even more perfection, i mean i can be dedicated 2 it and try hard and achieve it but i just dont enjoy it? People who like perfecting their kiks will probably like poomsae lol. VERY hard to perfect completely

O, guys, how do you make a new artice of is that just what the admin (sir) can do?

although i dont like poomsae alot, i give it my best shot and practice it regardless...Just because we don't like something, doesn't mean we shouldn't have a crack at it and practice it.

Poomsae hmmmmmmmm, I like the Dan Patterns and Taegueks 4-8. But yea i agree with Hamza that its one of those things which is difficult to perfect. Seems like poomsaes a bit like marmite lol. you either like it or dont like it but never the less its an important part of Taekwondo so i try my best when doing them.

I fink sparringz awesome......bah poomsae iz just as gud......cuz it links 2 self defence a bit.....poomsae iz about perfection i suppose.....but if ur willing to take the time and learn it you can be great at it (and its the way u move up grades!!!!!)....aaaand practise makes perfect at the end of the day.....kikin work iz reli good....and demo work iz reli fun......bah i fink its a bit of everything.....one thing can't b the best cuz u benefit 4rm everyfing.....

yo yo yo

This is Shahid btw, Hows everyone doing long time no talk lol, i know im going off topic but what the hell lol. I enjoy sparring more than pattern work uhhh pattern work takes the life out of me, and i love the spinning hook kicks too. Poomsae suj is right u either love it or hate it and by god i hate it, way to hard lol.

It is very interesting to read all of you saying how much you like sparring, this is still my least favourite part of training, I love pushing myself to the limit because it brings a sense of peace and freedom. It is the "spirit" of tae kwon do that I love. I still have a LOT to learn and perhaps in time I will be posting a comment saying that I love sparring, right now I am concerned with learning learning learing and each time I train I aim to have achieved my best on that day. I love the way that training brings spiritual freedom through focus, and stillness through extreme movement. I studied ballet for many years and this is very similar inasmuch as it is gruelling at times and requires brain body coordination which leaves no space for anything other than the moment.
