mixed martial arts and tae kwon do?
both MMA and TKD are sport oriented (although taekwondo at its heart really isn't just nowadays many people think it is). They both have rules, they both have a ring, and they both have many sport oriented schools. however, everyone bashes taekwondo, saying it is "too sport oriented," when really it was started as a combat system in Korea. MMA, however, was MADE for sports. so why do people bash TKD and not MMA? i just don't understand it, if you can shed some light on it i would appreciate it.
Whence the need to bash? From a martial stand-point, bashing in itself is a waste of energy and shows either immaturity or weakness of character and focus - unless the bashing is deliberately aimed at distabilizing its recipient and increasing his tension level.
Always be aware of your own state and do not let your opponent take hold of it.
Tae kwon do is one of the definitive systems in terms of kicking techniques. It combines accuracy, lightning speed and power as well as being in my opinion, one of the most aesthetically elegant systems.
Taekwondoistes are very light on their feet which makes them very hard to catch and extremely effective at counter-attacking.
TKD being a striking art, the artist is trained to enter the strike zone, apply the damage and exit swiflty.
The main gripe I usually hear against TKD is that competitors present their backs when fighting in tournaments - due to the actual no-score ruling on this area.
Target Area (ITF):
a.- Head at the front and sides but not at the back.
b.- Trunk of the body from shoulder to navel vertically and from a line drawn from the armpit vertically down to the waist on each side (that is frontal area only, excluding the back).
This of course would be a precarious stance to adopt in a real fight situation - as the spinal area is very fragile and as it is it best not to systematically turn one's back on the opponent.
Another criticism is that TKD puts little emphasis on grappling, a useful skill IF the fight is taken to the ground - but again, getting a TKD expert to the ground in the first place is no easy feat.
In MMA, mat work predominates to the point some call it "Men on Mats Arguing" lol jk
Not to deride it but in a real life situation, getting on a hardfloor where there may be broken glasses, numerous adversaries kicking you at once, etc... is a risky proposition.
By the time a MMA fighter tries to apply a neck choke or an arm lock, he'd get hit out of nowhere by one or many other adversaries - being static and exposed is not a good idea.
MMA do not train their adepts to face multiple opponents at once. As a result, they lack awareness and preparedness for such situations.
The best strategy when facing multiple opponents though is:
_____________RUN !!!_____________ LOL
To answer your question in a different way: someone bashing TKD for being a combat sport while praising MMA would not be a very logical basher 
edit: This answer was given with the premise that the practitioners of both sports would solely design their training for competition and also that they would not seek additional forms of training in other combat disciplines. If they did, as Bruce Lee advocated, this would effectively close the debate and render the question null.
