EveryOne always makes fun of tkd. Does anyone here believe tkd is a good add ok for Kung Fu or mma even?
Do full contact tkd matches equal mma full contact?

well since they are tdk matches and not mma matches no. they arent the same thing. and yes tkd is a viable option for striking as long as you remain realistic to your goals. ive met some seriously tough tdk guys with lightning fast kicks that hit very hard.

I have a 3rd degree BB in ITF TKD, loved every moment of the training.
It was fun, great exercise and you got kicks like no one elses business, lol !
Too bad for the WTF crap.
My TKD was old school TKD, while it was point sparring for white and yellows and padded "semi-contact" for all others, for red belts and BB it was full contact.
Good times.

TKD is NOT RECOGNIZED as a legitimate fighting art by his Majesty of MMA, Joey Rogan, and therefore is not a martial art. Henceforth all TKD practitioners should be publicly tea bagged by Turkish Oil Wrestlers (Which was noted as viable in MMA by his Majesty of MMA, Joey Rogan, in August of 1998). It is not a viable martial art by definition unless it involves rubbing, groping, dry humping, and being extremely comfortable with your head near another man's p3nis or anus in an inverted triangular position.Originally Posted by Mattador

Yes, I started in TKD and My buddy got up to brown in it before switching. When he came over, we made very minor tweaks to his kicking to add power. He still had great control so it ended up being really awesome for him.

You sir are wrong! Next thing you know you'll be trying to tell me Wing Chun is a martial art!!! Everyone knows that Wing Chun did not exist until the venerable Bruce LeeŽ invented it -

I liked it.
Didn't make me a better fighter, though. Again, it is always about the training methods.

TKD can be a good MA to include in your studies, but it depends on the school and how it's taught.
I trained for some time in Tang Soo Do, then switched to a TKD school, and the teacher allowed me to keep my TSD ranking at his school, since they were similar enough (TSD emphasizes more hands than TKD). I eventually discontinued TKD as a brown belt. Both were good schools.
As for kicks, the TKD gave more movement/footwork/competitive training, but the TSD gave a better basic foundation. Did these arts make my kicks better? Yes and no. Prior to TSD, I'd already done Kenpo (black belt), and I was already a good kicker at the time. I'd say TSD/TKD emphasized kicking more, and added a few more kicks/kick variations than I already had. The TSD improved the form of my kicks, and the TKD helped with emphasis on speed of footwork and kicking combinations. It was a good experience.
