His hands and feet are fast enough to throw few punches and one crushing side kick for you to be in coma. Now, I?m not saying he would go head to head with BJJ fighter or any other MMA guy, but fuck, in a street fight with some homie douchebag ?? I?ll take my blind instructor 9 out of 10 times. Ofcourse you would know better because of some baseball player.. pffft..

No, I know better because I took TKD and several other bullshit martial arts including Shotokan and Kenpo for years, and completely wasted my time before I started taking weekend trips to Coldwater, Michigan in the late '90's and trained with UFC Hall of Famer Dan Severn and Becky Levi, long before there was an MMA/BJJ school on every corner. Every time I would try some bullshit TKD kick in sparring Becky Levi would drop me on my fucking ass, my hip, or my tailbone with a Judo throw.
Like I said before, there are guys that are naturally gifted athletes with fast hands and feet that might be able to get away with throwing some silly TKD kicks and roundhouse punches, but if I had to choose between a 5'5", 130 pound TKD black belt, and a 6'5", 270 pound douchebag homie with no fight training, I would take the douchebag homie every time. The only thing TKD teaches the average Joe is false confidence...
