Taekwondo; the ancient art of low-volume striking based on waiting for a perfect opening that may not ever come in the least defensive stance and porous guard possible.

2 people wasted their life training an essentially useless and impractical martial art. Maybe try tai chi, it's roughly as effective in a real fight situation.

@ wasteland the only time it loks impressive is against itself.

That should tell you everything you need to know.

Wrestling, boxing, muay thai.

The holy trinity of fighting. Even being competent at all three will make a fighter extremely hard to beat.

thats just a bigoted and hateful statement .. Pettis bros, Roufus bros, many others came from TKD .. im a grappler myself but always appreciate the striking styles .. ( especially when groin grabbing )

unlearning horrendous technique is much more difficult than learning new technique, according to most coaches anyways. 



Imagine the stuff AKA Thailand see's on a weekly basis. Worst of the worst alongside the best of the best.
