It's actually true. In U.K. TKD has none of bad rep you hear in U.S. I'm quite sure there are bad TKD club out there in U.K. as well and they still claim 2000 years of history bull****. Having said it, most clubs I have seen do train hard. My friend took nearly 4-5 years to attain his black belt and last 2 years before attianing his black belt, he had to do his own training daily.Quote:

Here in the UK and in Oxford particulaly I feel that we have very good TKd. The only guy who gives me a run for my money in my class when we sparr is a TKD guy, he is the fastest guy I have ever seen and has been taught full contact TKD in a tough club for 12 years.
This same guy has knocked out several kung fu/san shou guys in full contact fights.
On the down side TKD has left him with tons of lasting injurys.
