Learning boxing as part of MMA?

[Floorian]

so what is your question?

if you want to learn mma, then tkd is a waste of time.... probably a waste of time anyway. It requires incredible skill and athleticism, but really doesn't serve any purpose other than in a tkd tourney.

Taiquando is mainly about flashy performances. Those fancy spinning backkicks may be powerful, but someone quick could nail you in the back of the head while doin' a spin back kick.
