    Did anyone see that? It just aired a few minutes ago, and was led by a "Fred Simmons" which is apparently a fictional character based off of the movie "The Foot Fist Way" or something. The whole skit was so crude it made me uncomfortable. I know it was in good fun, but damn them for making Tae Kwon Do look like a freakin' joke. :woo:

    Any of you all see it? I couldn't find a link for it.

    Jeez, is this the 1960s? Are martial arts still so novel that "funny man in pyjamas" sketches still get a laugh?

    I don't think anyone is having a go at TKD. Only some aspects of any martial art. It just happens that he chose TKD for the film.

    I'm with MD on this - I don't think these guys are bashing TKD, just crap MA schools in general.
    I personally can't wait for this movie - TKD? Check. Crude Humour? Check. Hilarious moment where woman gets KTFO by a big guy. CHECK!:D:D:D

    As long as people see it for what it is - a joke - I don't see the harm.
