I'm curious what your background in grappling/groundfighting is... did you train in that in addition to the traditional TKD? Are you familiar at all with Gracie or Brazillian jiu-jitsu?

Certainly if you've never trained your martial art from the ground you won't know how to apply it there. Styles that emphasize kicking will have a particularly difficult time adapting their techniques to the ground.

What is your training regimen?

Incidentally, have you read any literature on the subject of the reality of street combat? Are you at all familiar with Mas Ayoob's work, for example?
