if you are going to call any sport stupid I would choose synchronised swimming, for me that sport makes as much sense as synchronised flower arranging

TKD is a fun sport and a quality martial art. Takes physical conditioning, coordination, balance and strength to execute well, just like any sport. The fighters in the Olympics were great competitors at the top of their game. Remember though, what you saw in the Olympics was sport martial arts. The techniques and skills exhibited were designed to gain points in a regulated environment with very specific rules.
Personal unarmed defense/unarmed combat is altogether different. Some of the same so More..

Being able to beat a fat geriatric, 3 times his age, doesn't go any way to refuting the accusation that taekwondo is "ridiculous".
Put the guy in the ring with a physically fit man his own age, who has spent a minimal time (couple of weeks) training boxing and see what happens.

@passive_observer absolutely - the old guy could've made fun of slap fighting and been taught a 'lesson' by standing there and letting someone slap him... doesn't prove anything (that's really bad science lol)

Very good - I was told the same thing that Tae Kwon Do was just prancing about the floor and when challenged to a sparring match, all detractors declined.

I think he meant most ridiculous in the way that it is scored. Since it is true, any combative sport in the olympics are the most ridiculous thing I've seen in the way it's judged(when it all depends on points and not actually besting your opponent combatively)

@reggie001 The Olympics are fast becoming a joke, which is a real shame if not an outright tragedy.

What happens when you change the rules for fighting. Rape is rape, fucking is fucking, fighting is fighting.

I gather this commentator bloke must be half that size and was just padded up to fuck to make sure he didn't get a collapsed lung after a tasty kick that makes your lose your oxygen in a flash.
If a sport involves violence and kicking, be diplomatic about your opinion in future you silly old man!!
