I totally get where you are coming from, on all counts. Well, except the black belt because I haven't gotten there yet.
I wonder how soon you will look back on this entry and say, "Gee I remember when I felt that way, ha ha." I'll bet you will hit your stride with the grappling sooner rather than later. You're very smart and in tune with yourself, from what I've observed here, and I think those qualities will be real assets to you in grappling just as they are in other areas of life.
If someone tells you tkd is worthless, just kick their ass. :-D
Dude, I know exactly how you're feeling about TKD and people's perceptions. My dojang, as I'm sure yours is, is NOT a fucking McDojang. Therefore, the black belt that you've earned and the one I'm on my way to earning fucking mean something.
And no one can take that away from us.
Seriously, MA are bastards sometimes. They all need to chill and realize that everyone thinks their art is the best.
Pil seung with grappling. Hang in there until it gets better. Because it always does.
I can totally see that. You throw the first one, and then the second, and the third, and after the 12th or so the other guy is just standing there going "13...14...15...16...shit."
Life is too short to spend it dealing with prissy, self-important jackasses like that. Too bad no one tells them that. Or rather that they don't listen.
*sigh* Ah well. You know how hard you work and what it means and that's more important any day. Love you.

Don't let anyone illegitimize you.
And 'illegitimize' is now a word because it makes sense.
