So hit me with your tap kick. I'm going to grab it, trip you, and pile on top of you and pummel your face. And since Taekwondo focuses on standing and fighting, once they're on the ground they're done.

Not if it's a ****ing tap.

You obviously know nothing about martial arts if this is your response. Stick to something you know.

I have been trained by people who are "masters" of karate and jiu-jitsu. They have also experienced the exact same thing dealing with "masters" of taekwondo.

Fighting is lame anyway though and arguing over which form of martial arts is more hardcore than the other is equally lame.
