i would like to know if any of you out there knows when exactly TKD was UPHILLso to speak.

 

 

 

when the hell was it VERY effective?

the funny thing is that i know im wrong and i know your right, yet you keep argueing like it will change my mind. you should really know, you dont have to be right to win:)

before it went to america?

 

at a guess i'd say that while it was still being taught 1st generation in the korean army it was probably still pretty close to what general choi had learnt originally.

 

i think the focus only started getting hazy when the element of competition/forms came into the equation.

 

purely conjecture of course.

 

but then again, simply saying that TKD, as in ALL tkd, is not good is just utter tosh.

but the point was, how many martial arts in practice today was used for survival?

It's not always about survival. Muay thai kickboxing was never used for survival, it was used to kick ***, which it excels at. Stuff like TKD was made so adults could compete in a safe friendly environment, and kids could learn to behave.
