man didn't just satisfy himself with using tae kwan do against his adversaries and food on the hoof.

Martial arts are fine, and can be useful, but I really think that some people really really buy too much into the hollywood hype.

IMHO it is just Tae kwon do, A.K.A "take my dough", that is all hype. Sure they have lots of pretty and powerful kicks, but in the 10 mins it takes to land that jumping-spin-reverse-back-crescent-kick their adversary has plenty of time to whup on them. The lack of punching and hand tecniques in general make it a significanly less than usefull fighting method.
