Congrats to Jade Jones for the Gold and all that .... but had to smirk when I heard the reason she started TKD was to learn self defense ..... I am completely biased regarding the effectiveness of TKD ... so what do non grapplers think to TKD ... from what you have seen at the Olympics, does it actually look as though it would help you in a Friday night argument....
You could get your mates attention in the pub by waving your foot in the air whilst holding a pint in each hand. No mean feet that.
Jade Jones would be able to kick the **** out of me Not that I would ever be harassing her like, but if she ever did get in to a situation where some scum bag was giving her some trouble then I think her Taekwondo skills would certainly help her.
I'd be willing to wager that she could beat the crap out of me. As could Nicola Adams. And Laura Trott . . .
