Why do people bash TKD?

[Red J]

I'll go with the "oh, my son is a black belt in TKD and he is in the first grade gifted class in elementary school".

So basically the whole cater to the soccer mom mentality of having your six year old becoming a black belt in a year thing. This is not unique to TKD and I'm sure not like that in every school, but I cringe whenever I see a little kid say they are a black belt before they can even read.

It's not the art, it's the marketing in some schools.
