No way. Tae Kwon Do sparring is different from your regular martial arts so knowing another art won't help. The difference exists between match and self defense so like i said regular martial arts wont help, this is something totally different. People who compete have been doing this since they were 5 years old. I have been doing martial arts since i was 6 and ITF&WTF tae kwon do since i was 13 and like i said it's very different and 2 years of studying martial art is nothing. Sorry to shoot your dreams down but 4 years is a definite no. 8 years from now is a possibility.

It is unlikely, but it is possible. Knowing some martial arts should help. You will probably have to compete in a lot of tournaments to get noticed and nationally ranked. It should take a lot of hard work and dedication.

um you could posibly if you train enough and you are talented. but i would probably say 4 years of tae kwon do wont get you into the olymipcs. might aswell try tho it could happen. as far as i know you just need a black belt to try out.

Go for it, do it now and I hope you succeed with your dream.

No, You will have to start from scratch and it will take more than 4 years for you to be at Olympic standard despite already knowing martial arts.
