Have you ever KO'd someone irl?
>high brown
>pot smoking indian
because it used to be decent karate tier, and devolved into fencing with feet where you win by getting points through tapping the other guy with your feet which then prompts the ref to pause the fight until the next weightless and powerless tap.
it literally makes you worse at fighting than if you didn't train it especially because it teaches you to keep your hands down and have a terrible stance
tkd has a different meaning on this board
Witnessed.

The TKD guy did pretty well actually. At 2:03 if that kick actually managed to connect he could've gotten a knockout.
>brown
Not real tkd
TKD is only good when you compliment with another striking sport. Believe an ex red-belt practicioner.
Instructors mostly
Like bujinkan, krav, spear, jeetkundo, akido, they're are absolutely saturated to with frauds and bad instructors who have no intrest in doing anything than cashing their checks. Without a physical challenge it winds up boring and ineffective in real life like technical boxing. On the upside I can see why and support it just becoming a lesser sport because gun ownership exists and martial arts at this point should just be for fun.
I did TKD when I was about 11, and got to red belt by 13 if that tells you anything. Like karate, TKD is a fun sport and is an effective fighting style against someone who is also using TKD in a competitive format - which is to say it's practically worthless.
>Muay Thai
Arguably the most complete style but anything with 'belts' is basically a subscription service. >Boxing
Overall the most effective and accessible, though McDojos apply to all styles.
>BJJ
Useful, but only to supplement a striking art.
>total israelite death
I don't have a problem with it
It's not bad if you find a good dojo it's just incomplete since it focuses only on kicks. This is coming from someone who does boxing which is also incomplete since it only focuses on punches.

The 90s had a big MMA marketing gig on the net and sicne then, people think "trad martial arts" don't work because "they dun work in the UFC". Which is weird sicne Karate and TKD had a much better showing in the early UFCs than boxing or Muay Thai, only barely being beaten by BJJ instead of failing in the early rounds like the styles fanboyed today.
But you know how it is: Americans believe religiously everything that is repeated to them often enough.
Anyway, ask the Vietcong if TKD doesn't work lol.
America might have lost in Vietnam but they butchered the VC by the tens of thousands so I'm not sure if that's a great place to look towards.
you're either coping hard or on some peak contrarianism, people think traditional martial arts dont work because they don't have any answer to boxing and get completely shut down by low kicks, i like kyokushin karate but TKD in particular has been completely watered down into a point scoring sport, and there were lots of cross fights during and before the 90s between taekwondo and muay thai and so on where TKD had no answer or chance, and that was before it turned to shit already. snapkicks are junk, heel kicks are junk, bladed stance is mostly junk, the elaborate double switch kicks are junk, TKD competitions are literally just about who taps the other guy on his full body armour first now.

Well, how are we going to find this out?
Because it's ridiculous clown bullshit with no practical application.
