I wouldn't recommend TKD as a base art, but I saw a guy who combined his TKD with MT knock the doggy dog doo out of someone else with some weird fake kick followed by a high kick while full contact sparring.
Likewise, I've been told that "JKD doesn't work"
but I know some JKD guys that could beat the crap out of a lot of opponents with their JKD that doesn't work.
I have to wonder how much of what works and what doesn't work is based on the practitioner. For example, when I'm sparring (just to touch the opponent, not full force) at this point in my (albeit extremely limited) training I'm MUCH more likely to use front kicks than punches because I'm really tiny. But if I went and told a group of 6" tall guys that "boxing doesn't work, only kickboxing works" that would be stupid.
I say, put on some padding, get on the matts, shut up and spar and then you can figure out what works (for you, that is.)
