我在想为什么会那么多人认为矮的人不适合跆拳道,高丽人很高吗?是不是矮的人就吃亏.
可是却看到
"I've been looking at getting into martial arts again (I only know Krav Maga) but I can't use that because it's desinged to kill and not defend lol. Anyway I recently went to a Tae Kwon Do class and as soon as I entered I noticed that all of the higher ranking belt people were short. I'm about average height fora man but I thought this was kinda strange, anyway I did a few practice spars and they asked us to pick our opponent, so I went over to the short guys thinking they would be easy to take down. But I was wrong! I got my ass kicked lol.
After spending some more time practicing I'm getting frustarated, there is simply no way I can compete with them. Even the begginers who are shorter than me are out perfoming everything I do and I don't understand why. I can't move as fast as they can and I'm feeling like I should quit to be honest. The only time I ever win in a spar is with an opponent who is either larger than me or around my height, and they are few and far between in there.
Anyone have any advice? My instructore keeps telling me that I need to learn and accept my body but I think he's just saying that so he can kick my ass. I have no idea what to do, he tellls me not to give up and never under estimate people, but I think he's full of BS."
这位仁兄可是在抱怨自己太高了。
这个不错:
“True, but longer limbs, greater reach, more power generated faster with less commitment. It's a trade-off you have to learn to take advantage of, while avoiding pitfalls. A kick from a tall guy to achieve a given amount of force requires less of a "windup" than a shorter man, but that doesn't help if you're both taught to pre-load your kicks the same way.
Still, Tae Kwon Do is meant to be an equalizer for smaller people, and women. I don't care how short you are, your legs are STRONG. Women in particular who excell at TKD can be lethal as hell, and upper body is less a factor. In something like Jiu Jutsu... hehe, long limbs = deadly spider. In most forms of kung fu, I don't think it really matters, and likewise with Karate's striking. It's an amazing plus when it comes to Muay Thai, and related techniques, so in the overall mixed picture, I find it hard to believe that it's an overall disadvantage or advantage. Still, a lot of these martial arts were created by small people, both short of stature and slim. If you don't accept some measure of adaptation for your frame, then you're unlikely to succeed. Add a little "Greco-Roman" wrestling to your Judo and you'll learn how to control that hight, or find a Judoka who has expereince in teaching tall people. It's the same for any martial art; if you're unusually small, stocky, tall, or muscular you can't go for "cookie cutter" martial arts.”
