Putting your foot above your head can be effective, an axe kick that lands on your oppenents head can do some serious damage, and lumping TKD with JJ isnt all that silly, they both practice throws and TKD is anything but modern IT can be traced back hundreds of hundreds of years Many historians have traced Taekwondo's origins as far back as the Koguryo Dynasty (37 B.C.-668 A.D.), during which 'Tae Kyon,' an ancient form of the martial art, flourished. During the Silla Dynasty (57 B.C.-936 A.D.), forms of Tae Kyon were practiced by the Hwarang ('flowering youthä), an elite troupe of aristocratic warriors, who practiced martial arts as a way of life and who were closely associated with the king and his court. Also besides Judo, Tae Kwon Do is the only olympic martial art which certainly says that it is an effective martial art and can still be pretty.

According to some korean historians, Karate developed from a koreean art too, and the invluence was supposed to have happemed centuries ago, because of korean representatives living as cultural attaché in Japan, but how come then that Karate wasn't know on the mainland before 1922

Boxing is a martial arts too as is wrestling, 2 far more effective arts than TKD, Olympic recognition doesn't say shite about effectiveness of the art, just of the officials in promoting the art to the olympic commitee

TKD was put into the Olympics when they were in Seoul, Korea. Korea. Get it? They let them put their crap in, because they were hosting it.

Whats that sport were they skim a weight down the ice, and then brush like mad to try and get it to go a bit further...... Thats in the Olympics. Does that make it an effctive art?
