Osopardo, fly kicks can be non telegraphic to a certain degree. Some fly kicks are executed from stand still with out a run up ie if there are two opponents at either side of a TKD guy he could jump up and kick them both doing a 2 direction kick. Also you are not supposed to squat before doing a fly kick. Andrew WA, I agree with your opinion but don't you recon there are a lot of power in fly kicks to be also useful against big guys if you do the kicks correctly.
Thai Bri, I agree that these kicks are a bit risky to pull of as they are committed so they would be foolish to use if the opponents have knives or poles. I recon though, that if the kick is fast and snappy, then they won't be able to catch your kicks, otherwise you'd be in trouble. I also would never use a spinning fly kick in a street fight. I favour mainly the twin jumping front snap kick and the two direction kick. I also believe that a good double flying side kick with both legs would take out a big guy.
