I don't see reason to hate on point sparring type martial arts. They're safe, less risk of injuring yourself if you're an adult that needs to work. TKD sparring seems smart and elegant in this chess type way.

As much as I agree that the various wrestling styles make for a great base, the idea that all wrestling is one style is kind of silly. Even if you qualify every single folk style as "folkstyle", that still makes folk, free, and greco.

It got popular. It's not as shit as public perception would have you believe, but it's got the most mcdojos out of the most popular martial arts, so it looks really bad. People will say the rule changes fucked TKD over (they did), but it was already heading in this direction before those.

1. The electric equipment was supposed to be fairer but, the old method of needing to hit hard enough to see the other person get moved or to hear the thud was clearly better training for irl and combat sports.
2. Removing the ability to leg check, knee and push someone with open palms meant that sparring suddenly had a very set range and that taekwons weren't getting close quarters practice.
3. One-step-Sparring (goes by other names) was where Taekwons were taught some fundamental grappling techniques but it was gradually forgotten in most places as it was removed from the grading curriculum. The sport became more important.
People keep saying that the power era was better, the power era is a myth. People can still hit as hard now as people did then the difference is that TKD was a relatively versatile martial art that turned into a sport.

This is news to me - I didnt know that at some point in time TKD had grappling AND more versatility with punches, knees and leg checks were apart of the training. The sport might have watered down when all focus was Olympics and tournaments that lead to state titles - with less focus on actual fighting
How can TKD redeem its reputation ?

Almost too late at this point, but basically you need to start with major rule changes from the top down. Then you need to have some TKD guys do really well in MMA (which will be really hard, given the nature of TKD as a hyper specialized art), or otherwise become known as serious contenders.
Now, I have heard that Kukkiwon is allegedly developing their own ruleset which is supposed to be better than WT, but it was announced in 2021 and I don't see that coming any time soon.

You can still get away from the mcdojo daycare reputation IMO. Karate as a whole doesn't have a good reputation, but Kyokushin has a good reputation.

True story, when I was in high school a girl I was dating was friends with a fat bitch who was probably 1 iq point short of mentally retarded and would brag about how not only she was a black belt in Taekwondo but that she’s been a black belt since she was 8 years old as if that’s impressive and not something to be embarrassed of. You’re telling me that you’ve attained some level mastery in hand to hand combat before you could read at a fifth grade level? LOL.
To really get the full picture she looked a lot like the girl on the right in pic related.

I'm the person you replied to.
My opinion is that just allowing leg checks and pushing with open palms would be enough to change the sport to a reasonable state.
Much of the reason that the sideways foot fencing is so prevalent in the Olympics is because people use "flop kicks" as a underhanded way to leg check without technically leg checking.
Being able to shove people away would also stop people jamming kicks and pressing chests together, people do this a lot because it allows them to throw a kick then get the referee to reset the match for them. This used to not be such an issue because in the past you could just knee the opponent and aslong as part of your shin connected with the pad it was a point. When they banned kneeing, "monkey kicks" became a thing, then those got banned too. TKD needs a way for fighters to legally be able to reset their range when the opponent is gaming the system.

It's even less practical than point karate, at least they know something about distance management and evasion
Kyokushin is just a pain contest, there's barely any technique to it

If we're talking about number of mcdojos, taekwondo and karate win because of their popularity. If we're talking about percentage of mcdojos, aikido wins because aikido is taught in mcdojos by definition.

My coworker is a brown belt in taekwondo, he has crosstyrained so clearly he acknowledges that there are issues with tkd, but he still think tkd forms are valuable because they help you practice the techniques. He talked about them similar to how you would talk about combos for boxing. I just wish they didnt have such silly techniques. In what scenario would you ever use a "down block"

DUDE! You need to learn how to search and find reliable sources for your information.
World Taekwondo is the Olympic governing body and oversee over the grading and management of all WT federations around the world.
If you want an answer the go straight to the source, don't just pick random McDojo pages.
https://olympics.com/en/news/know-y
Is WT's official Olympic page, notice how it says belts are White, Yellow, Blue, Green (Green isn't universal, most federations don't use it), Red and Black. There is no brown belts in the system.

That's closer to the old Korean system.
The original system was supposed to match the colors of the Korean flag and also match the virtues they represent. Yellow being an addition and representing a dirtying of purity/innocence (white) by martial training, with black representing knowledge in opposition to white.

seriously. Even worse, since they never do any sparring they always keep their legs up for the high kicks. What the fuck is the practical value of kicking someone in the shoulder? It'd be extremely easy to just grab their foot and walk forwards to knock them over then go to a kneebar
