Welcome. I did some TKD myself too. :3

Glad everything worked out well for you.
That's a backwards dweel huryeo chagi.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GUCceiBJ4UPretty much the same, except for the fact he doesn't swing it trough but turns it into a hook...
I'm still hoping for that one guy trying to disarm a knife with a flying armbar.
Sorry to hear you're being harassed. I'd probably just ignore it until people actually get physical, and then try to end it in less than a few...

Sounds like a backward tornado kick,also known as on mondollyo chagi.
True, it's risky, I'd probably try bobbing and weaving or rushing out till I'm at a distance to kick or rush in again
That's the thing though, most TKD fighters that go in to the ring only rely on their powerful kicks. While they can come in handy, it is also...

My clenching and grappling techniques are quite reasonable due to the fact I've done quite some kickboxing and MMA. I can apply lowkicks, but I...
