I laugh at this not just because it's cute but because if I ever were made to fight I'd probably behave similarly.
Needless to say, I've never been in a physical fight with anyone, or physically bullied, thanks to the fact that I am a girl, a female, someone who took ballet lessons as a child. If I were a boy I'd probably have been in the same position as one of these boys-- the red one, if I could get away with it, because it would've been my favorite color at the time.
Of course, the point of tae kwon doe isn't to fight but to instill physical and mental discipline through the use of this Korean martial art style. I'm sure there's a philosophy to tae kwon doe but the educational mantra of kung fu and karate (from China and Japan, respectively) seem more glamourous and filmable to Hollywood execs, I guess.
