Fair enough man. In my personal life experiences the taekwondo I learned served no use to me in the few fights I have been in. I have had friends that have gotten their butt handed to them and they had been training in Karate for years. Since I learned combat fighting skills (SCARS, if you are familiar with it) from a former navy seal, those techniques served me well the one time I had to use them. Go to www.scars.com for more info if you want to see what I'm talking about.
I'm not trying to start some peeing contest over whether martial arts work or not. I'm just voicing my opinion. If you feel safer knowing ju-jitsu, karate, taekwondo, etc...great. Just do what you feel is best for you. Besides, I carry guns to not have to get hand to hand with any BG... hopefully.
Nocturnus31, a roundhouse kick is not a spinning kick, and it has it's benefits. Maybe your opinion of martial arts is different than ours, but I have put my skills against others before, and come out on top. No, kicks weren't used, no fancy techniques, and certainly no flowery movements. However, I remained balanced, in rhythm with my opponent, and came out on top. I have used disarms, kicks, and even techniques that to you seem pretty(useless) and it's worked.
