Taekwondo is mostly balance and technique. The truth to fighting is that your black belt means nothing without actual fighting experience.
If you want to fight well (uhh, why?), hapkido is one of the most practical martial arts for self defense.
Never took it because most attacks it teaches is lethal.

Learn Capoeira. It's not only a martial art, but also break dancing. What better way to win cool points than break dancing over a person you knocked out with one extremely powerful kick your opponent didn't see coming?

I think I should take hapkido cause I really really REALLY want to beat this complete a-hole up.

Its self defense where if someone attacks you, you'll be charged with manslaughter 2 minutes later.
Taekwondo isn't bad though, I've learned to minimize damage, and that the best attacks are jabs aimed quickly at the chin/cheeks with your knuckles. Its also the only standard martial arts acknowledged for the olympics.
Don't do any flashy kicks. Those exist for technique/balance toning and to look bad ass in general.
It all comes down to putting your whole body in a side/roundhouse kick (only when proper distance is met).

Mixed Martial arts is really popular as opposed to single styles thanks to UFC
people are all like
WHY DO I HAVE TO WASTE TIME MASTERING THIS ONE STYLE AND INSTEAD COMBINE ALL THESE RANDOM STYLES TOGETHERS HURR
The cat has no idea if there's any benefits to that sort of thing.
Kitae, the cat would like to know if ur taekwondo studio has "restrictions" such as no attacks that can cause even a bruise etc.
Master says Taekwondo studios have a large range of rules
One teaching minimal damage and contact and another encouraging power where chest pads are needed.

Oh god, no.
Each session had me hurting at the end.
And attacks we learn are meant for making your opponent incapable of fighting.
For sparring, yes pads are a must.A single proper kick can rupture organs for bust ribs, you know.
My reverse side kick measured at 800 lb/inch^2 pressure. A cat would die instantly, unless he's a thundercat.

Krav Maga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Krav Maga reminds me of this TV series where these two guys travel around the world learning different martial arts, it was called Fight Quest or something...

Not sure what you refer to in a back kick, but I've done them all.
The most challenging is usually a high jump spin hook kick, or the 540-720 spin kick (this thing is bs and not in any way at all useful in a fight).
The 540-720 kick exists to get you laid, end of uses.

This took me like 3 months to do without landing on my ass. Waste of time? Yes.
