Most people bash TKD due to the fact that in most schools money comes first, skill is something that you don't really need to have. I remember watching the news and seeing an entire family that was going to test for their blackbelts ( yeah, mom & dad and the three kids) the youngest kid was eight. When I was eight my karate master had me practicing basic techniques! His youngest blackbelt had been fifteen and he had studied with him since he was five! And I saw some footage of the family, honestly, the kids were doing a decent job, but the mother and the father... well, you get the picture. TKD is a pretty good style if it is taught properly, but even then most people focus on the kicks and seem to forget their punches. It depends on the training that they do.
