American taekwondo association which organizes taekwondo matches in America
Taekwondo is primarily a kicking art, but traditionally includes close quarter fighting, hand strikes, and grappling skills. The problem is that many modern students are not getting a proper and complete Taekwondo education, so when they step in the ring and loose a fight, people conclude that it was something lacking in Taekwondo when it was really the fighter who lacked the full knowledge. Many Taekwondo athletes don't learn the full curriculum in order to compete in the Olympics. They get good at winning matches under a sport of rules that favors kicks and no grabs or ground-fighting, then they move into the Mixed Martial Art arena thinking they can fight with just the kicks. That is not true Taekwondo, and when they fail, they misrepresent what Taekwondo is capable of doing. MMA started with the rules favoring grappling sports. As the sport evolves you see more and more knockouts with kicks to the head. However, any Taekwondo fighter is going to have to maintain a balance of training for strikes, throws, and ground-fighting, and that is all available in traditional Taekwondo.
