I don't hate TKD, I just dislike the itrnructoss that teach it nowadays. Most have lost traditions for making money instead. I was trained differently in TKD then most McDojo students. We were trained hard, we actually punched, threw elbows, kept our hands up, and kicked like horses. More like ITF/Military style of TKD. These days, most McDojos school teach Olympic TKD. Which is very watered down Taebo like fighting (exactly, not fighting!). Kids take these classes, think they're bada** because they have a certain rank. But get their a** handed to them in a real life fight. Because they've been taugh to score points and not actually FIGHT.
