Ah TKD. I’ve never seen a a martial art that combines so much neat stuff with so much stupidity.
It absolutely amazes me that this was chosen as an Olympic sport over Pancrase. Actually, I take that back. It doesn’t amaze me because the Olympic committee is retarded when it comes to contact sports.
Meh. Compliant demos and board breaking don’t impress me. I’ve seen a million of them. They’re meaningless.
Besides, most of those attacks were garbage. It’s symptomatic of people who don’t train against resisting opponents. Honestly, training like that would teach a person bad habits that would make them a worse fighter.
The Uke in the video was good at playacting hurt. He has a future in the WWE.
Observe closely class. Boot to the head.

The IOC is retarded about selecting ALL sports. Look at the whole baseball/softball issue.
This. It is true.
Combat TKD does exist. Only, very very rare. It’s called Taekkyon.

Good points, I’d still like to check it out. Also Muay Boran.
I love laughing while I am in pain while I train in Ninjutsu.
For all my bitching, I would take nearly any martial art given the opportunity, regardless of whether or not I think it’s useful.
Hell, I still hit up an aikido class every no and then. It’s fun to me.
Taekwondo ? Thought so.
Protection, meh. Knockdown rules with only balls, teeth protection is the shit.
