sorry but being a black belt in TKD, i feel it to be useless unless the guy you're fighting is an idiot and can't see the kick coming. i've been taking other arts since i was seven yrs old and TKD's hand techniques can be painful since most of their punches arent properly done.
These guys are better screamers than fighters. TKD has great kicks, but it feels like a flat empty art. Every demo is the same (paddle kicking), some breaks, a flat looking form with no meeting, A LOT of screaming even if there is no kicking going on, a fancy game of tag sparring with no real world application, and NO SELF DEFENSE at all (or a few Hapkido like self defense moves per belt taught), and more SCREAMING. It feels like a half-martial art.
