Is Taekwondo more recognize by SAF and SPF?

[starry_starry_night]

As you can see, SAF even have a taekwondo badge for it while no such badge cater to other forms of martial arts.

Why ah? Why don't have MMA badge, muay thai badge or Krav Maga badge?

I watch tvb 機場特警 ASU they learnt Krav Maga which is quite an effective skills that if I'm not wrong US amdk also using.

Don't know why for us we focus is not on Krav Maga leh. I think muay thai, 詠春, 洪拳 and 八極拳 also bettter than taekwondo. 八極拳 practiced by presidential guards and vip protection in taiwan since 蔣介石 era if I'm not wrong.. As for muay thai last time thai soldiers were trained in it since ancient times one leh, very effective too.

What about 军体拳, think its a modification from several fighting styles to suit modern combat situation?

think its a legacy thing as SAF did tkd as a close combat skill long ago.

SAF is not really known as an organisation which is transformative, you know? many of the things they do didnt make sense for many years, like the inconsistency of their platoon level drills taught at various schools.

and for a long time, they had this BCCT ICCT ACCT bs that occur over a few weeks and don't teach real close combat skills - just a check box in the soldiers' file.

How come is a legacy thing? Here not Korea leh...

But I do agree with you the bcct thing, lmao wasting time one. How much emphasis and effectiveness is there to ensure all recruits learnt it properly and master fully? Walan eh, I think that 閃電五連鞭 probably better choice at least it's entertaining
