A style of martial arts that is complete and utter nonsense.
In Tae Kwon Do, its all about the touranments, the money, scoring a point...ect.. Tae Kwon Do is for the person that wants to say, "I'm a black belt". But in Taw Kwon Do, that is completely worthless. I've seen adds that say "Become a black belt in 3 months!!! Geranteed". In Tae Kwon Do, yes, but not in the real martial arts. TKD is simply a money making business. TKD is a joke. Period.

TKD Man: OHYA!!! Well, I'm a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I can beat you up.

The true bastard style, tae kwon do is a mixture of several different styles including karate, the style most tae kwon do schools teach to be inferior. In truth, tae kwon do is nearly impossible to use effectively because of the long kicks that open up the groin and other vital areas and the lack of punching to the head. I know i seem to be preaching, but i saw a 3rd degree black belt in tae kwon do get trounced by a brown belt in karate, so yeah.
Tae kwon do is lame and ineffective

Tae - To strike with the foot
Kwon - To destroy with the fist
Do - The art / way of...
The Korean art of kicking and punching - which would kick your arse.

An umbrella term for Korean martial arts styles united in the 1950s. Some schools trace a heritage through one of the more narrowly defined "kwans" that existed before the unification. Drawing from a mixture of influences, it is best known for its explosive kicks and strikes. Most similar to karate, but tends to be less linear and more motive. A good school will do sparring (rule based, but hardens the body), breaking (accuracy), and self-defense exercises.
Unfortunately, in recent times, Tae Kwon Do's loose definition and the willingness of many to use it as mere training for Olympic-style Sparring has resulted in many poorly run schools.
As with any martial art, there are advantages and disadvantages; no single style is complete. And remember it the skill lies in the school and the artist, not the style.

A great martial art for all ages, has alot of ideas from several other types of martial arts. It's also an official Olympic sport. It's main focus is on kicks, and there aren't many different types of punches or punch combos that you learn. And whoever said that it's the weakest martial art ever, I would like to meet you so I can prove you wrong.
