Secondly - from a self defense point of view - if you're attacked in the street, and you counter with a proper side kick to the knee (which you learn to do proper with 100%) - the fight is over. Or will your attacker continue to fight with a broken knee?

Does TKD even train kicking below the belt? I have never seen TKD sparring that practices this. Thats what I dont get. Most TKDers say they will do this or that but havent even trained it. (im not saying your school didnt practice kicks to the knee but most do not)
And while a sidekick can be a great movement, what if you are too close to the person for the kick? That is the main problem. Tkd is great at a distance, but as soon as you get into the clinch, there isnt much.
