is taekwondo good for self defence?

i only have one school near me that teaches some form of self defence and thats taekwondo. the man is a 7th dan blackbelt and i went to my first class a few days ago. i was surprised at how hard he worked beginners. towards the end of the class he taught us two self defence moves if we were being attacked from behind (the attacker grabbing you from the neck behind). he showed us two effective moves to escape the situation including what you would do if you were being dragged backwards at the same time. this is the only kind of class like this near me until the city and it is conveniently located as well a s fun to attend, while still building my confidence and strength. is it good for self defence in a real life situation?
thanks

would you study my martial art?

Have developed my own martial arts based on years of training/studying. It basically incorporates kung fu,SAMBO, bbj, and escrima to form what I call instinctitsu. The idea is that in any situation no matter how many people you can win. my core tecnique is the nutmeg. I can’t give too much away as I’m hoping to sell it to the ufc or strikeforce but essentially it;s a way of focusing you;re chi to counter any ppunch or kick. You can also use it to pass guards, break out of other fighters subs and withstand head on punches. At the moment I’ve mostly done demos with friends and pets but lookinf for trained martial artists with heart and endurance. those I choose will be trained by me via skype for free and maybe tutored in the basics of the nutmeg.

Looking for feedback, advice and students.

PEace.

How should this situation be handled ???

Every year I do this theatrical concert performance. There’s this guy who is in it as well, who’s parents are friends with my parents. However he is very egoistic, has a wierd domineering attitude, thinks he’s better than all the other guys, etc….. To make the story short, got in an argument with him and then he sends me a really offensive nasty e-mail saying that him and everyone else thinks I act like a snob and that I should watch my mouth or else. He thinks he could take me out on a fight. But really, this guy is shorter than I’am, skinny, doesnt know how to fight, and hardly works out at the gym. I’ve been training for years in Taekwondo and lift heavy weights at the gym five days a week. Personally, I could take this guy out with one punch or a combination move. How do you think this situation should be handled ???

my BF’s psichiatry sees him every week, he calls her, and she invited him to a 3 day WK yoga sesion is normal?

I´m really getting concerned about, is it normal to have this close relationship with a psiquiatry? or do they have a crush? is she really trying to help him or just taking advantage? I don’t like the situation… he calls her to get his pills bought, to ask her to extra appointments when he feels depresed (she never says no), and now she invited him to a 3 day weekend yoga and meditation group followed by an extraordinary appointment this week to work his issues, is really necesary?

He’s been in therapy for three months with her after a six month period with another psiquiatrist (cymbalta). He’s on prozac now(2 daily) along with some other natural medicines she recomended for his heart, vitamins, etc.

Krav Maga?

I studied taekwondo for 5 years now and its fun but i dont think it will help me if i face a real life situation. E.G STREETFIGHT

i heard of this martial art called KRAV MAGA after me and my friend watched The Bourne Ultimatum (movie kicks ass)

they told me that it was the fighting style he used and it was for real life fights not tournaments or demos.

Do you recommend Krav Maga for streetfights? where i live is sometimes people get jumped so i better know how to protect myself and not just show flashy kicks.

And is krav maga all about defense or does it also teach you how to kick and KO your opponent?
