Don't listen to people who say tae kwon-do is crap.

So no one gets into unarmed conflict nowdays? Unless they're directly looking for fights?

I haven't been in an unarmed conflict since I was about 12 years old. It is nice to think that what you're learning could be useful if you need it though.

Tae kwon-do is useless to other martial artist, but if your skilled enough it can be effective on streets; other then that it sucks for sport... damn acrobatics.

I don't think anyone will argue that the acrobatics are useless on the street. Traditional tkd does have a lot of tools that could be useful for self defense though.

Wow - I think I wanna move to Oakdale then ^_^. In my town we have a whoooole lot of white kids undergoing an identity crisis, and completely lack the basic concepts of logic.

*Identity crisis kid stares at you on the bus*
*5 minutes pass and they're still staring at you*
*You finally look in their direction*
"What are you lookin at fagget, your f*cked c*nt, me and my boys gunna bat you in your sleep whitey!"

It has no real art, it's just acrobatic and kicking, and some strengths and endurance. There is no real tactics and some advice; you can always kick there leg and there right on there ass.

Ah yes your well thought out and reasoned statement has blasted the theory behind TKD to pieces.

Lo let these words of infinite wisdom go forth unto the unwashed masses of TKD practitioners, so that they might see their folly in kicking because its so easy to kick their standing leg. What fools where they who conceived this "martial art", clearly their fighting knowledge and very cognitive functions must have been as an insects in comparison to thine as they spent years devising and training their "art".

Think before you speak or do the human gene pool a favour and open an umbrella in your throat.
