Is martial arts work if we don't get paid for it?

@EdDy4RheelZ And as we discussed before, it's the business/sport aspect of TKD that ruins the reputation of TKD. But the art itself and the qualities that the art of TKD has to offer is incredible and unique. Their unique kicking techniques require tremendous amount of time to master but yet, if mastered and applied properly, it makes up for your lack of arm reach since you compensate it with your kicks. Cung Le is one of best examples out there.

@highway2snell Here's the thing. MMA and K-1 has debunked many idiotic and useless martial arts, such as ninja training, or any bullshit "mystical" art that's too "deadly" to be used in the ring or against people. However, TKD is not one of those and TKD has proven its effectiveness in the ring. It may not be the most practical or ideal style for full contact competitions but the fact that they provide devastating kicking techniques is what makes TKD very unique and respectable.

@EdDy4RheelZ Well i cant say too much about other arts as ive only trained TKD for 3 years or so but its definately not a useless art otherwise id probably be dead by now haha, thanks for the comments mate it shows not everyone is a retarded troll hating on every martial art that they dont train themselves...

@highway2snell I'm usually a critique of martial arts to determine what's bullshit and what's not. From my experience of street fights and ring fights while also watching MMA and other K-1 competitions, I have seen bullshit arts such as wing chun, ninjitsu, drunken fist, etc but TKD is no joke. When TKD practitioners with a serious fighting mindset who has properly trained tkd well cross-train into other arts, they can transfer many of their elements into kboxing and utilize them

@EdDy4RheelZ Thats it mate and im lucky enough to be in one of the few organisations that arent corrupt, mind you the one i am in is only small and an invitation only setup, and it isnt nationally recognised at all, but what we are taught is deadly, my instructor started the club against normal TKD clubs because of the useless crap they teach

@highway2snell I definitely agree with the last sentence. It's just a business and political aspect of TKD that ruins lot of reputation for TKD. There are many who open up schools as soon as they have black belts in it or have somewhat of experience in amateur competitions. Many mcdojos or mcdojangs in tkd's case, have opened up and it's very hard to find good tkd instructors, which makes people just learn something else if they're serious about entering full contact competitions.

@highway2snell I know lot of Muay Thai, and MMA fighters and arts heavily adopted by MMA like to bash TKD. But TKD is very practical. I practice Muay Thai but TKD has lot of useful kicks that's been adopted by kickboxers and MMA fighters. Although it's not a reliable stand-up art, it's a deadly supplement art if used properly. Fighters like Cung Le, Cro Cop, Ben Henderson, Anderson Silva, and David Loiseau have trained TKD and their kicks are devastating.

@000velez000
There are situations where there are multiple opponents. BJJ may hold an advantage in your regular '1v1' fighting, however other striking arts tend to outshine it when more than two people are involved in a fight. Also, if weapons are used, martial arts that train practitioners to more thoroughly defend against weapons tend to be advantageous. This brings me back to my original point of 'No martial art is the best or most effective'. It all depends on the situation and the fighter.
