More of a sport than a martial art?

I've read on a few different sites that TKD is taught in terms of gaining points rather than delivering KOs in the majority of schools. Is this true? It seem such a shame for the amazing kicks in TKD to be wasted in this manner. Is it futile trying to find a school where it is not taught like this?



I also wonder what you more experienced guys think about doing TKD as a first style and as someone who is tall and overweight. Do you think I should try another style before TKD? Will being tall and overweight handicap what I can do in TKD? I understand you need to be quite flexible and nimble. I initially wanted to do something like hapkido which focuses on blocks and so forth but I understand the techniques are not very applicable and so I kept looking. I think TKDs kicks are awesome and I like the application of physics in TKD.
