Are you contending that there are no demonstrations like those today?

And yet, you still ignore the Google search about Muay Thai.

And you still ignore the Google search. You are the living embodiment of "confirmation bias".

There are threads about threads about TKD sucking! How many: "how come everybody dismisses Muay Thai-threads" exist?

Here you go here's a whole video about it and it's from a grandmaster martial arts expert so there's all the proof you need

Show me an equivalent comment to this about Muay Thai:

"As someone who has done taekwondo throughout my teen years (5+), and spent a few years teaching, I can tell you it is a fuckin joke. Most schools, even if they call themselves traditional, are total garbage and do not teach adequate self defense. Would not recommend unless you are just doing it for sport/fun and doing olympic style.

I got to a pretty advanced level at 2nd dan- could do 540 hook kicks and more flashy kicks, and could also beat up on other kids in sparring that somehow had a 4th degree belt. I do not believe this has much real life application. The only chance in a street fight that I would say I have is by unsuspecting head kick or spinning back kick by total surprise- and after the first attempt it's basically useless."

This is a quote from Martialartstutor. No more needs to be said.

You can say the same about the earth being flat...but that doesn't mean it is.

Maybe you should open your links before you post them. He is obviously being facetious.

And you continue to miss the entire point.

In summation, you believe there's a problem with TKD in MT competition, and have bashed everyone who presents a counter to any of your points, or who even asks for something that backs up your points. You believe there's an epidemic in US TKD based upon what goes on in your UK association, because there's some relationship. You believe your instructor is making too much money, and him having a second business is evidence of that. You believe martial arts should only be taught by people who don't make money (or don't make much - you've said both), but cannot demonstrate any reason why that should be so. You believe MT is held in much higher esteem and no former students ever talk bad about it, and your evidence for this is that there are meta-threads about TKD, and you haven't seen any threads about "MT sucks", because you haven't looked.

In essence, you started with a set of beliefs. Every time anyone has asked you to clarify or support those beliefs, you bashed. Every time someone presented a counter-argument, you either ignored it or simply used some other phrase in their post to change the subject.

Your views are dogmatic, nearly religious.

I think you missed the humor. Maybe you should look for more than confirmation of what you believe.

I hadn't seen that one. That has some of his best awkwardly long pauses.

That is what you consider impressive? A choreographed demo with compliant partners and breaking (mostly) wafer boards?

Well, his aerial kick at: 0:45 was not exactly trivial, especially concidering his background in ITF. And he did it well!

I thought you started this discussion about the fighting application of TKD.

Most of that takes too long to pull off and is heavily telegraphed, but I do believe an old school master of that generation can pull off an upset with a conservative kick. But I'm also aware that they might not survive the inside boxing and be KO:ed inside a round or two.. Love to see it though. They trained for power back in those day, dedicately.
