Does tang soo do help in a fight?

Of course you stand a better chance. But it's because of 10 years of training, not because of a particular style. TSD doesn't help in a fight, and it's not effective. Only the stylist is effective, because the style is only a tool. A tool in the hands of a fool will not produce anything of quality. A tool in the hands of a master is something to admire.

Do you have reason to believe that you wouldn't stand a better chance? There are a lot of students in my school who have 10 years of training and are still a year or two away from getting their black belt. I am confident they would have a better chance in a fight. Tang Soo Do as a style is fine, but it will ultimately depend on the user.

I train at a good school and hold a second degree black belt with ten years if training. Would I stand a better chance in a fight against someone my size that doesn't know anything about martial arts?
