The Korean mercenaries working along with American forces in Vietnam had plenty of opportunities to show how TKD was effective at close quarters. However, any martial art trained at a sport reduces it to just that - still TKD matches can end in knockouts.

I didn't know this until tant0 pointed out but Judo was an art intended to be used for no rules as well (no suprise seeing as it comes from Juijitsu) - its sport version is still effective.
