Exactly my point. When two people who are both TKDists (99% of the people you find in TKD competitions) square off against one another they will both instinctively stay at kicking distance or farther. So, it is quite easy to get 'too used' to expecting your opponent to retain this distance. I've said it time and again on these boards: controlling the distance of the fight is the best skill a martial artist of any style can have.
