It's whatever you make of it.
It's no great secret that TKD is 'dot to dot' Shotokan Karate, which is 'in itself' a 'dumbed down' art by many accounts.
Take what value from it that you can.
That might sound very derogatory, but I've met and trained with many excellent TKD people in my time.
When i say that, it's the people, and not the art they practice, I respect.
