An exceptional TKD fighter can beat up a MT/Kickboxer. That's not really speaking in favour of my art, is it?
How many people are exceptional? What does exceptional entail?

Serkan Yilmaz carrier was short lived. Keep on cherry picking.
Here's a question for you...where do you think kick boxing originated from? I'm not talking about Muay Thai but K1.

So there are cherries to be picked then? I thought you said no TKD could do kick boxing?

Show me where I said that. Serkan was not world class. Even your cherry picking is weak.

Top flight TKDin stay with TKD because they, uh, love Taekwondo. That's how they become elite. They are funded, Taekwondo pays their wages, and they get to do what they love, and be successful at it. There's very little to draw someone away from such an attractive lifestyle.
You jump to the wrong conclusion.
and no not really.
It come from a myriad of Karate/TSD\TKD.
Bill wallace was TSD i believe which is pretty similar in sparring to ITF, Benny the Jet was Karate, Corley was TSD and TKD. I believe emilio Narvaez was TKD as well....

Yilmaz is great to watch. Not hugely successful but man, just entertaining as all hell.
Yup, the same reason many kickboxers and World class Judoka and BJJers dont go to MMA.

A TKD player isn't really interested in 'beating people up'.

In fact, quite the opposite now, players from other arts transfer to TKD based on the potential funding and reward opportunities it offers. An athlete would be a fool to give it up and fight for individual purses.
You're just making stuff up as you go along, aren't you?
You claim your father was 'one of the top karateka' in the world. And yet, he didn't train you. That's odd.
You've also claimed that he couldn't block a strike you threw. That's also odd.
You claim to be training under a very qualified instructor. And call his school a McDojo. That's also odd.
You claim to have better kicks than the black belts in your school, but don't post a video to prove it. That would be odd, if you actually believed your claim.
Come on. Be honest. You're just trolling, aren't you?
Are you arguing with yourself here? Your answers don't match the questions.
Kyokushin. Nope.

Hmm, I think in Poppas position, I might have made the same decision. Not that odd maybe...
If memory serves (I'd have to check back through the thread to be certain) he has claimed, at various times, to the the offspring of "world class" boxer, wrestler, and karateka.
