To be honest I don't care whether people do it for "da street", for the ring or just for fun - I'm aware that everyone has their own reasons for doing it. Nor am I saying Thai boxing is the only martial art with something to teach - I'm saying that TKD doesn't. Having done it, under AIMAA, I have the right to say that most of the things that people say they can learn at TKD like respect, self discipline bla bla bla, can all be learned elsewhere (probably much better) and should probably be getting taught by the parent anyway. I'm sorry but if you as a parent can't teach your kid discipline and respect, then the problem lies with you - not that your kid needs TKD lessons.
Besides I have a personal problem with the fact that most of the people who claim to teach these things show none of the qualities themselves. Like the Kung Fu guy who runs a club out of the same premises that I train in. I sat and listened to him one day preach at people about having respect for ones body, the body is a temple, self restraint and all that crap - then he was spotted by another member of my gym that Saturday coming out the chip shop with a fag in the mouth and a bag of booze. Nice. Do that if you want, but don't preach at me mate.
Yilmaz has knocked a few peopel out true - but I guarantee he cross trains - you don't learn to box at TKD lol. And Hee Il Cho is this guy....
This guy has never seen a real fight in his life or I'm a monkey's uncle. Props for being physical at 80 and all but he aint a fighter.
