Tae Kwon Do can be an offensive Martial Art. While it is primarily used in defensive situations, it only takes a little improvisation to make it offensive. It's taught defensively as nobody wants you to go out and start throwing hurricane-hook kicks at people who you don't like.

I've trained for 6 years and got to 1st Dan under the World Tae Kwon Do Federation's teachings. It's not only an effective fighting style but it's execution is also beautiful.

I love Tae Kwon Do. The Grandmaster at my Dojang was the world champion in 1989, so I know I'm getting the real deal.

@NinjaDude..I'm a firm believer that no MA is the best MA. It all boils down to rules, experience, training..etc. Every MA has its strengths and weaknesses, so it's best to study various MA if you want to be a good all-round martial artist.

@NinjaDude..I once took on TKD guy from the national team. Fella was quick with his feet, but his hands were like totally useless. I closed the distance and his kicks became totally ineffective, and I could elbow, punch and throw him at will. That's why I say, TKD demo is like modern wushu demo, full of beautiful acrobatics and nothing else. No offence to you & TKD, but I'm simply saying what I've seen and experienced.

@NinjaDude..Don't assume you are the only one who trained in MA. I was in TKD and dropped it before going into Traditional Chinese MA and Judo. And I've taken on TKD in quite a few national tournaments. Yeah I don't know how it's like to get kicked in the head but I know what's it's like to punch TKD in the face. In these tournaments where diff MAs fight each other, the only MA that TKD could sometimes defeat is Silat. Otherwise, they get owned by Karate, MT, Sanshou..etc

@miang62..i've practiced both tkd and muay thai for years..and from experience..you couldn't be more wrong. In a street fight, sure muay thai is probably more effective, but put a tkd and a muay thai guy in a ring and see who gets kicked in the head first.

Just like a vase, nice to look at, very pretty. But, do u see these acrobatic kicks and moves when TKD takes on other martial arts like say Muay Thai? Muay Thai uses simple yet devastatingly effective kicks combined with deadly punches. That's why TKD hardly survives in a fight with other MAs.

@Goldensavoir To become a master you need to get 4th degree. An Instructor is just normal black belt.
