I've never heard of Philippine Taekwondo.\n\nTaekwondo is a Korean martial art that focuses on kicking. They are world renown for their fancy kicks.\n\nThe Philippines has some very good martial art styles.  Most famous are the stick fighting styles of Arnis and Escrima.

Ryu Kyu Kempo...It's mostly defense techniques and pressure points and nerve centers for offensive attacks.

A short description of CKD which is derived from TKD and is not intended for competition.  It is meant for all individuals who want to learn real-life, practical self-defense skills.\n\nChoi Kwang Do was developed by Grandmaster Kwang Jo Choi starting in 1978 and "completed" in 1987. Choi Kwang Do's natural, easy-to-learn, sequential movements maximize your body's force-producing capabilities.  It utilizes studies of neurophysiology, kinesiology, physiology, human anatomy, and biomechanics.  \n\nI like CKD over TKD because it delivers more practical application of techniques that strive for efficiency.

The history of TaeKwonDo began roughly ten thousand years ago when the ancestors of the Korean people migrated from Central Asia to the peninsula that is now Korea. They relied mainly on hunting to survive, climbing rugged mountains, crossing strong rivers, and traveling along the seashore in their search for food. These rigors developed strong bodies, superior fighting skills, and a sense of teamwork. Historians theorize that, upon their return, the hunters would reenact their motions of kicking, punching, stabbing, and throwing, also recreating fighting scenes with neighboring tribes with whom they had fought during the hunt. A natural outgrowth of reenactments was practicing movements in order to refine and perfect the techniques and their skills. Through time, these techniques formalized into martial arts.

Some schools do go a little overboard i don't think it has much to do with the art you are learning you will find that the Chinese Japanese and Korean are the most disciplined if it is turning you of i recommend you look for a kickboxing school even Muay Thai  they are allot more relaxed than the other traditional arts.

I've been a student of combat arts for 22 years now...and I've taken some seriously, and played w/ a bunch of others over the years.\n\nMy two favorites have been Muay Thai simply if anything just for the exercise alone...as well as the conditioning.\n\nFor a striking art alone, it's solid...definitely trains you to take a hit and get over fear.\n\nBut for an all around art that uses everything (chokes, locks, throws, striking, evasion, weapons of all types, and a great combat mentality) my favorite overall has been Bujinkan Taijutsu. I've been studying this art for the last 6 years, and out of everything...it's flat out the most comprehensive art I've ever seen as it focuses on universally applicable principles over set "by the book only" techniques that are too limited both in mentality, and application.\n\nNot to mention, there's a lifetime of material to learn...so unlike Tae Kwon Do for example where you can learn the entire system back to front in 2 years...Taijutsu never gets old as there are always new things to see and experiment with.

People have been fighting since before there was language to describe it.  Various styles are attributed to various places but there is a lot of interconnection.\n\nLegend has it that there was a secret band of monks living in Northern India that perfected a system of fighting hundreds and hundreds of years ago.  Nobody really knows just how old.  With the spread of Buddhism and other related religions, these monks started travelling.\n\nThey travelled throughout Asia and kept up their secret martial arts.  The secret got out though and soon many people were practicing martial arts with their own little additions and subtractions.\n\nChina developped Kung Fu.  Korea developped Tae Kwon Do.  Japan developped Karate and a whole number of other disciplines.  Today there are hundreds of styles that mix and match from many different traditions.

I don't think bokkendo is the word you are looking for. Maybe you thinking of kenjutsu or iado?\n\nedit-whoops, there really is such a thing as bokkendo. It appears to be kata for bokken and jo performed in conjuction with aikido. Seems like it may be some of the same kata that one learns in kendo.
