What kind of scientific studies have the TKD olympic peeps done to get they kicks so spinny?.
Props to this thread
I have had the chance to train in both MT and ITF TKD, even a bit in WTF, and the kicks of a good TKD are just as powerful and fast as those of a MT fighter ( though I give the edge to the MT fighter in terms of low kicks and overall fighting skill).
ITF TKD loves the lead leg kicks and I have seen some pretty nasty KO's from lead leg side kicks, round kicks and even lead leg hook kicks.
TKD has always been "mostly kicks", that is a given, little know fact is that the orginal ITF guys from the 60's and 70's all had very good hands too.

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
