I don't think I've met many other martial artists who can respect and appreciate what we do. They justify their views usually by stating how badly we do in the UFC, and K1. The reason for this though, is because when you've got gloves on you can take a lot more hits than you can without them. TKD is equipped to deal with a situation quickly, not go on for five minutes in a ring crawling around with other men on the floor
I just thought it'd be interesting to hear other peoples views on why tkd is so degraded in the MA community.
