BTW: Comparing MMA to street fighting is inaccurate. MMA is still a combat sport, there are rules that put the safety of the fighter as paramount over anything else.
MMA was created to give practioners of different styles a forum to fight in a no holds barred format. Before the advent of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighters, it was the strikers that dominated. One of the fastest knockouts in MMA history was in a UFC ring by a taekwondo fighter, crossed trained in Muay Thai. He faked with an axe kick to the head, his opponent bought it and he knocked him out with a devastating straight right hand. I believe the total time was 35.5 seconds There is only one rule in self defense, do what you have to do to get yourself out of the situation you're in.

I have not seen a fighter trained in Tae Kwon Do compete in any of the cage fighting circuits, cage fighting which for the most part (minus the rules) mimics what will happen if you do get caught up in a real fight. Taw Kwon Do is more of a stand up fighting where other styles such as Akido, Kenpo, or Jujitsu are for closer quarters and or on the ground fighting. I think if you ever have to fight an experienced fighter on the street you may be in for a rude awakening if you have only learned Taw Kwon Do.
