Hmm, I feel doubly offended since TKD and Judo is my background... And actually today I do compete in MMA tournaments. True, today I practice mostly Muay thai and boxing but that is to fill in the gaps in my repertoire.
The traditional ITF TKD style we practices is not just kick kick kick, and defenatly not powerless point kicks. We sparred heavy contact and was encouraged to try unorthodox attacks (ie not just the tecniques) to learn how do defend against them. From discussing on the internet it also seems that the McDojo syndrome is much more of a problem in the US then it is over here. I have been to some WTF TKD dojangs that where very much sport-oriented, not SD. They still where good for sporting purposes. Of the 5 different ITF dojangs I have trained in and the countless I have visited I have never stumbled upon one that could be described as weak.
Judo is superb for both takedown defense and takedowns and also has a good deal of ground work. BJJs popularity of late is because of the early Gracie sucesses in UFC, but more and more Judokas are up and comming. As more and more MMA strikiers/kickers learn how to defend against takedowns the need for more effective takedowns will become evident, and in this area Judo is by far superior to BJJ.
