Why do most people from TKD only seem to know the side kick? I have NEVER used the side kick in sparring and stuff.

I don't see anything wrong with side kicks. Probably one of the few useful kicks TKD actually has(Considering its not targeted at anything above the solar plexus).
San shou fighters use Side kicks with some success. Yes, its a little diffcult to hit the target with a side kick as opposed to a good 'lo round house but the pay off is there.
Of course if you spar with thick foam padding then its hard to feel the real power a side kick has. Trust me i've been winded by one.

I mean winded as in KTFO.

I had no idea there was so much disaster in TKD before looking for pic for this thread.

And why does TKD have so many ridiculous costumes? Last time I checked, you wore the same gi 'till you were a black belt. But nowadays, the TKD mob seem to have become a Rainbow coalition.

Observe...

The thing is, it's usually the kids who are made to wear these technicolour atrocities. Is this some sort of child cruelty/character building thing?

I'd put money on him over a ton of the mouth boxers on this board.
