A good tradition TKD school (ITF system) can be hard to find, but are quite good. Have 25 years experience, though to be effective in a real life situation you simply have to add in some strength and power training also some grappling both of which aren't really taught all that much or at all in any schools.
No one system is perfect, and as was mentioned earlier at least 95% of martial arts schools are crap, and pretty much a waste of time. No matter what style you learn make sure you do at least some basic grappling training, because most situations end up on the ground, and once you are down there your TKD, Karate, zip-de-doo or whatever isn't going to do anything for you.
