This is actually why I took TKD (well, physiotherapy in general, buying off my major DX and ST penalty on my left side, and reducing Klutz).

I'm under no illusions that I learned anything more than Karate Art, but that was due to me definitely having some form of Pacifism and a major mental block against hitting live targets. My school taught full contact, full force hits for competition fighting, as is usual for TKD comeptitions. Other students at my school were learning Karate Sport, and I'd bet the Cuban team that Aggressive Parried our team into several bone fractures were using full Karate. Our team's coach commented when they came back from the tournament that the Cubans beat the crap out of us with "yellow belt" techniques used very effectively.
