I've met Ri chol nam in person, had a huge ass lesson from him. He's a legend, his ability to kick lighting fast, and he's a power house. Rspect for both of em.
Willy vd mortel is my Master thomaz was there manny times for tornooi training. Not funn to spar with thomaz haha Neer won .A singel pointer lol Greetz too my friend Willy and Thomaz Barada
No entiendo una cosa en todas las peleas de ITF veo que se repite todo como un monologo solo pegan con la pierna de adelante y no hacen combinaciones de patadas, ni pegan izquierda y derecha y eso si utilizan puños pero en cuanto a patadas esta bastante limitado lo que haces solo se limitan a pegar con la pierna de adelante. Conclusión mientras el TKD de la WTF tiene una gran variedad de golpes de patadas y nula operatividad con los puños en el ITF sucede al revés son una nulidad con las piernas no existe un justo equilibrio
+Miguel Angel Rengifo Arrunategui usan lo mas efectivo ya que la lucha es como un juego y gana el que marca mas puntos. Yo soy de los q le gusta pelear como en las peliculas con patadas voladoras y giros pero siempre me dicen que primero haga lo efectivo y despues si voy ganando tire alguna que otra patada que a mi me guste.
I would respectfully disagree Barada was scoring with many of his leg techniques, Ri Chol Nam not so much. Ri Chol Nam was running too much from the very beginning as if he was afraid. That IMHO is why he got so tired. He ran his own legs off. He looked frightened throughout the fight to me. And I think since tkd has hands as well as feet, and Barada's feet were more accurate and his punches far better, Barada is by far, IMO, the better fighter.
They look like hegoads.Jumping,making saunds be be be.I don,t see a fight . Kyokushin,Mui -Tai,Kyokushin,Mui -Tai ---------real men. This is gay kisssing.
Well I guess we'll never know, will we? He spent his entire career in light contact tip tap matches for points, so I guess you'll just have to continue fantasizing about ITF TKD being worth a pinch of shit in real fights.
I would love to see any of the haters even try touch this guy on a fight. I met him in person, and even after retiring hes an amazing fighter. By the way, if you compare him with overexaggerated movies then obviously you will be able to criticise him, but until you understand reality nothing you can do. I mean, watch videos of great boxers like Muhammad Ali and he doesn't look much like the big thing, but if you happen to fight him... oh dear.
Tomaz Barada... A well known street thug and a local mobster from Maribor... And lately he began a new career as a muscle-for-hire that works for a local corrupt politician Franc Kangler, namely the fascist mayor of the town Maribor, Slovenia. I'm deeply ashamed at how he represents this sport and my country.
Look here buddy..I don't know how much u know about itf but no mediocre boxer is gonna beat a world champion in any martial art..especially not this guy
Dumbass I know more then you can even imagine about TKD....5 times Irish and European champion kiddo...so you mind your fattttt ass please and keep your comments for yourself. He is not as great as you want him to be or as he thinks himself.....
yeah man, some smaller kid train taekwondo, and i keep bullying them, one day without any thoughts one of them asked me to fight 1 vs 1 - i accepted the challenge. HE KNOCKED ME OUT IN FEW STANCES. whole school laugh at me, hes like a hero in my school. Only after school i punch him from behind. And did the same day after day. Finally he left school. I win!
@gyromancy2 People win or think they are winning so they exult, nothing unsporting there. It's kind of natural, most competitors do this by the way. It's part of their natural competitive mindset. Ri Chol Nam, not shaking Barada's hand cause he lost, now that was unsporting, and showed lack of courtesy, but people do that too.
