Actually, I was doing martial arts since the 60's, the 80's seemed to be a bigger TKD boom.
In the 60's-70's (early) Kung Fu seemed to be the trend
In this day and age, hard core physical conditioning/training is not neccesary (unless one was going into serious competition)
True. The type of conditioning that kyokushin requires seems like it would be very beneficial for MMA fighters. However, if your shins are hard enough and your low kicks strong and fast enough, one kick to an attacker's knee could be a fight-ending self defense technique.

That's true of any type of heavy abuse put on the body in training, whether it be karate, muay thai, boxing, or wrestling.
