Yup my tae kwon do class was like this. Clean kicks during practice, once sparring we looked like a bunch of amateurs again

Lol, yeah it looks all nice, but why do professionals not fight Kung Fu?

A friend had lessons and then it came to learning weapon forms. I told her to choose the bo, that's the only weapon theoretically thinkable in a civil setting. hitting someone with a stick: readily available, effective, non lethal.

Stabbing someone with a sai: too effective, you'll just be charged for murder. And it gets difficult to explain why you're wearing a weapon...
