So the PLA is the whole military of China? Basically instead of having a seperate Army, Air Force, Navy they just have one group, right?

PLA (People's Liberation Army) is divided in 4 major parts:
Land force
Navy
Airforce
Strategic Missile Troops

Future Chinese Navy DDG 172 and 180:

I've done Tae Kwon Do since I was 12 so that's 10 years on and off. Moving around so much and other commitments never let me be a black belt. Agghh.... Though I can kick the crap out of a crapload of them. I did get a silver medal in a small tournament so I guess that's something.
Some of the kicks you learn in Tae Kwon Do are useful but in a fight, it's usually 70% hands. Not to mention, Krav Maga also involves kicking but the techniques are simpler and they hit harder. No crazy fancy stuff. Very straight forward and effective. Never will you find yourself in a position of anything near an awkward balance.
Not to say Tae Kwon Do is useless. Far from that actually. Because I can kick well, my brother who did boxing can't get close to me because not only is my reach better, but it's pretty fast and very accurate. But fights often do get ugly, especially against multiple opponents.
Anyways everyone has their own opinions.
You should try Krav Maga though, if anything, for just a month. You won't be disappointed.

I recommend Krav Maga for anyone who isn't interested in his opponent's welfare. And if you want to learn Tae Kwon Do, make sure it's the old one that isn't Olympic Tae Kwon Do. Turning it into an Olympic sport ruined the whole thing.... urgh.
Once I recover from my little knee thing I'll be getting back into Krav Maga again.

i have been training Taekwondo for like 1 year now, and i can say that taekwondo is really good for your feet, but if you want to hit hard with your hands then go boxing
