Considering the belt was in Tae Kwon Do, yeah, he sucks. Tae Kwon Do fails as a martial art.
Really? Tae Kwon Do fails as a martial art? Why because it is an Olympic Sport which tests fighters strength, stamina, and endurance? Because it uses the strength of the legs to defeat your opponent? All Jackson has is golf; big deal.

Originally posted by Fire NinjaNo dur. But you can get a basic idea. TKD focuses mainly on the legs, which are stronger, but also slower and leave you easier to counter typically. Also, you yourself said that TKD fails as a martial art before, why now the reserved opinion?
I'm not an expert of TKD, but UFC is not the autthority on what works or does not in a real Street Fight.

Because I don't know too much about it, I was being an ass back then.

I don't watch UFC. The legs are the longest and strongest part of a human and Taekwondo uses the legs as the primary offensive weapon instead of hands like in kung fu. Physically, taekwondo develops strength, speed, balance, flexibility, and stamina.
Heck Bruce Lee also instructed Chuck Norris and taught him Jun Fan and Jeet Kune Do. Hmm...that's again more than Jackson.

Is that a joke?

Oh. I think better styles than TKD that focus in the striking department would be boxing and Muay Tai.
Muay Thai and Boxing are very good styles. Solid fundementals, very efficient, and great conditioning (Mainly Muay Thai)
Originally posted by ESB -1138Which is why it sucks. The legs are less effective than the hands, due to being much slower and easier to counter. Wrestling(real wrestling) develops strength, footwork, balance, flexibility, and stamina, and is a better martial art. Boxing develops punching power, speed, footwork, and stamina, once again, better. I can't comment on Jun Fan or Jeet Kune Do, too little knowledge. To Sol, Judo is for grappling, not striking.

Yeah I can see why you think UFC means anything. It actually looks pretty gay. Oh and for the record that's Kimo a 3rd degree black belt at Taekwondo.
Fight of a Taekwondo user and a Muay Thai user. Now this isn't the entire fight but the Taekwondo dude won.
