taekwondo is not a joke.i have been doing it for 23 years.ive been in so many fights with professional aikido and ive never lost to 1.but i think ninjutsu is cool but i recomend taekwondo Report Abuse
|||Hi there





Its a bit like chalk and cheese. There both completely different and both will teach you a different set of skills.





Picking an art is a personal thing so if you can find both styles in your area with decent instruction then try them out for yourself.





Unfortunately both these arts suffer from martial con artists so make sure which ever you choose that the school you train in is registered with a governing body.





Best wishes





idai|||tae kwon do is not a joke ok..............


all martial arts r gud it is not only the 1 which u%26#039;r husband teaches is gud.................|||Traditional Jujitsu which is most of the time seen in Japan uses moves which is very similar to Karate, Judo, Aikido, etc. What%26#039;s different about it is that it has incredible throwing moves and cool submission moves which is most of the time lethal and can kill people in one move if executed correctly. Which is most of the time has something to do with your joint in the neck and how to snap them off, or hurt just the nerves in the joint which all it does is makes the opponent pass out.





PS: If you%26#039;re going to some Ninjutsu school in America, becareful. Most of the time, it%26#039;s B.S. and doesn%26#039;t really contain that much moves used in real Ninjutsu. Ninjutsu fighters usually does front kicks to the opponent%26#039;s knee joint and then moves in for a throw or submission.|||I would take Ninjutsu


I have taken TKD in the past and at the time really liked it until i started another style of martial arts called Aikido. And there yellow and blue belts were slaming me around like a rag doll.I was a red belt in TKD.





I am also studing in Ninjutsu and there is alot of Aikido and JJ in it so it is not that hard for me to catch onto.





but you can do what you like im just giving you honest answer here I my self would stick with the Japanese styles|||Taekwondo is no joke. I am in it. And I love it.





Taekwondo is just not for show. Its a great sport. I am a low yellow belt. Just started 4 months ago. I am a gold and silver medalist. I got 1st in my one steps and 2nd in my form.





Most people think that Taekwondo is there for show. but I dont think so.





MMA is a joke|||tae kwon do is better u learn an array of skills from blocking, striking, punching, kicking, and hol sin sols ( take down techniques) but this martial art takes many years to master many black belt dans (or ranks) must be a certain age to attain said rank but there are 11 basic belts from white to black. I think it is a great martial art in that it encompasses many areas of martial arts.|||ok, for the person who said ninjutsu is a grappling martial art that%26#039;s not it at all. ninjutsu is for stealth! I have been doing taekwondo for about 4 years and its great, but if you can find a ninjutsu instructor do that its probably really awesome!! if you get good enough at ninjutsu you can climb walls super fast and stuff, and it isnt for brawling or grappling its for stealth and speed kills, so they wont even know you%26#039;re doing anything before they die. actually you should take both they%26#039;re very different so you will get the most that way.|||Yeah, TKD is all for show really, not very good. Ninjutsu is a grappling martial art which basically means throws,blocks,brawling about on the ground and chokes, but dont let hat scare you this is all very safe and its pretty good ofr self defensetoo. TKD is a striking MA which mean kicking punching,blocking and using your hands and feet, TKD is alot about showing off in a sense like breaking wooden blocks like you see on T.V. If you prefer striking to grappling(most people choose striking if they are a slight build) pick TKD or if its available to you karate,muay thai or tang soo do wich are all very similar to TKD but they help you more in a fight situation. I cant gaurantee an accurate estimation but id say 3-5 years for both of them but it if the intructor is good and you work hard and attend all the lessons it could shorten.





Well good look and have fun!|||ok... first of all, Taekwondo is not a joke....All the board breaking and stuff you see on tv? lol that is not Taekwondo, that one guy really needs to study his martial arts...lol


I take taekwondo and I%26#039;ve been doing it for about 13 years and I have not mastered it yet...you cannot master something until you become really fluent with it. I%26#039;m not sure about ninjutsu, but Taekwondo will help you become more flexible, faster, stronger, and help you with your body shape. Not only physical stuff will improve but also mentally. You see, I%26#039;m a taekwondo instructor and yes there are things where you perform but taekwondo is an olympic sport in sparring. Soo... yeah. it%26#039;s your choice.|||Tae Kwon Do normally takes less time than Taijutsu/Budo Budokan/Bujinkan/To Shin Do (All the names for it, since Ninjutsu is a misnomer that means everything from horseback ridding, to unarmed fighting) to achieve black belt (Though mastery is 5th degree in both styles).Tae Kwon Do and T/BB/B/TSD both unforutantely have a streak of poor teaching, which is why you have to really watch out, and search pretty well to find a good school. The traditional styles of both are great when taught correctly (And not all of them are for show, or else I wouldn%26#039;t have successfully cracked someones rib with a side kick in a sparring match [Which I%26#039;ve done, and a couple wrists as well], or watched my friends that practice T/BB/B/TSD give someone a nice punch to the armpit, shutting down the nerves.... mmm...temporary fight paralysis...It%26#039;s delicious! :p), and after years of study: You should be proficient in the fighting ranges that are expressed.


The fighting ranges are the really big difference here.





Tae Kwon Do is predominantly a striking art. It sometimes has entry level grappling, but that%26#039;s not always present.





Taijitsu/Budo Budokan/Bujinkan/ To Shin Do has a lot joint locks, joint manipulations, rolls, throws, vital point striking, body part/bone breaking techniques, and more. If you find a good school, you will have more tools to work with (Which isn%26#039;t necessarily better, especially if you don%26#039;t use those tools well). Not to say that this style is more defensive, but most of the moves are sort of reaction-based, by which you wait for your opponent to punch, so you can counter with a spinning dodge, and choke for example. Tae Kwon Do commonly does that with self-defense techniques, but Tae Kwon Do schools that are good will have full contact sparring, which will hone your striking skills overtime. The nature of the other art makes it very hard to truly spar, but it%26#039;s possible (Albeit hard, because you%26#039;re doing moves that aren%26#039;t exactly %26quot;Love-tapping%26quot; :P)





Tae Kwon Do scale usually goes like this:


It will take x number of years to get a black belt. After that, the degree of the belt is the number of years one has to wait in order to even test for the next belt. So, the average master has been in for 15-20 years. I don%26#039;t know about T/BB/B/TSD and this, but I do know that because of the variety of things needed to learn: It takes slightly longer on average.





It%26#039;s really your choice though: Pick what you think will work better for you. Do you like to strike? Wait for an opponent to make a move, and counter powerfully? Ask yourself questions like this, and make sure that with whatever style you take (Whether it%26#039;s these or not): You find a good school.





Good luck.|||Traditional Tae Kwon Do is no joke. It takes years to master, as does any martial art. And it is a very valid and effective system.
