I'd question your instructors, I've been training in Taekwondo for over six years. I've been in one altercation in the entire time. My training has taught me to how to avoid the altercation, only turning to combat when all else fails.
I don't feel more powerful, but I do feel more confident and better equipped to deal with a situation should it present itself. Scott A.

In my own experience, yes. I used to be involved in martial arts and combat training. While I was doing it I also found myself in situations where it came in handy. Strangely, in well over a decade since I stopped I also haven't ever been in a situation where it was needed much less handy. Simply put, I don't get into fights or even feel threatened now that I've stopped training for it. I've spent a bit of time pondering the causation of that.
