Jun 7, 2010 - @telkamps nope. i punch during free-sparing, but its only good for short-range attacking. otherwise its hard to get into your opponent's field of defense and deliver the blow.

Jun 17, 2010 - 0:35 - actually, the question is WHY would he "kick" from a distance that makes the target unreachable...

Jun 26, 2010 - TKD is just a bunch of fancy kicks, it doesnt really prepare you for anything. If you get into a fight at school or on the streets unless your excellent at tkd you probably wont win, karate and kung fu are better martial arts to learn in my opinion. tkd is basically a show sport you throw a kick in a real fist fight youll get your ass taken out

Jul 5, 2010 - @Nukelearne A good fighter, fast, flexible and with good coordination can use TKD extremly effectively. It has really strong kicks to KO opponents.
Nukelearne Says:
Jul 5, 2010 - @raydredX not against an experienced street fighter
Woolfrey Says:
Jul 10, 2010 - @Nukelearne My friend did full contact TKD, his roundhouse kick would break your arm if you tried to block it. When it's done right, Taekwondo is brutal. You can't judge it based on the Olympics or what you see on Youtube.
Nukelearne Says:
Jul 10, 2010 - @Woolfrey ya the olympics meen nothing it all comes down to what your friend does in his backyard
Woolfrey Says:
Jul 13, 2010 - @Nukelearne I don't get it, are you trying to insult me? I just dismissed the Olympics and you're agreeing with me and simultaneously trying to belittle my own experiences in the same sentence.Here's a tip, instead of talking like a hotshot on Youtube, go learn some martial arts from a real master and maybe some humility as well.

Jul 13, 2010 - @Woolfrey ive taken kempo for the past 2 and a half years, i look down on taekwondo because ive been to many tournaments with taekwondo practitioners and they dont really have any sense of fighting. All they do is throw a bunch of meaningless kicks for show to impress the judges..how does that prepare you for anything? if they get in a street fight theyre done.
Woolfrey Says:
Jul 17, 2010 - @Nukelearne I said it before and I'll say it again, go find a real master. Your 2.5 years of Kempo and watching a few sport TKD tournaments don't count for anything.
Nukelearne Says:
Jul 18, 2010 - @Woolfrey a real master? how ignorant do you have to be to say that you piece of shit your about the most worthless person ive ever argued with.
TheFijinbrad Says:
Jul 18, 2010 - @Nukelearne okay dude. i have been taking tkd and a mix of other martial arts for about two years now. its not the style its the fighter. in the 3 fights i have been in since i started training 2 out of the three i have won. with kicks. if you dislike the style sooooo much than dont watch the vids and keep your comments to your self

Sep 3, 2010 - my Judo coach ,had the same manner of speaking .But no-one laughed at him, he was creating an aura of respect around .Maybe because he has the highest dan among non-japaneses!
