This channel mostly consists of Taekwon-Do videos. From 2014 I have produced TKD videos on other RU-vid channels, namely on ITF Taekwon-Do RU-vid. If you are interested in ordering video production services, please send a message.
Should be a better way to fasten the boards. To much adrenaline and hut one of those metal bars, you're permanently hurt. Stupid contest, just kick or hit a pressure pad..
Turning kick, easy the hardest one to perform for power breaking. You must use the ball of your foot to break, so you need very good technique, it’s not like impacting with the instep in kick-boxing/MMA, in unarmed combat traditional taekwondo exponents had conditioned hand and feet to act as weapons of maximum penetration. Trust me, an instep round house/turning kick to the head/jaw is much preferable to the ball of the foot impacting your temple or cheek/jawbone.
All good, except I’m surprised they allow a metal horse/holder today. In my time, we used a wooden holder and we padded the grip edges. The reason? Well, for the most difficult breaks, especially when the competition reaches a high level and your facing 4/5 + boards, you need to put a lot of speed/power into the technique, especially reverse turning kicks. If you get your accuracy off, by even a bit, you can wreck your heel/ball of foot on a sharp metal or even unpadded wooden edge. holder surfaces have zero give, even the plastic breaker boards are not really representative of human flesh/bone, but they take good power to break. I was around when reusable boards first appeared so I know the pro’s/cons, but dries wood is still the best choice, Piranha pine/deal, but requires planning and work/cost to arrange.
You can, and often should, train with some cushioning either on the target or on your attacking tool. In the competitions, however, I see equality achieved by using re-breakable standard boards essential (the same power required to break for competitors). Additionally, cost and environmental issues outweigh the possible benefits of using wooden boards. I have very very rarely seen any injuries in the power-breaking competitions (even when using the highest numbers of boards) and they typically have been bruises or soreness on the impact area. So, the risk of more serious injuries in the competitions seems to be acceptable. Of course, you can hurt yourselves badly but it is very unlikely due to hitting the holder but due to poor technique or insufficient hardening of your attacking tool (I once twisted my ankle but the holders or plastic boards had nothing to do with it. My angle of impact was just a bit off causing the ankle to twist). I personally haven't been involved with Taekwon-Do for years so it would be interesting to hear how competitors see this situation of using current equipment in power-breaking. Somebody could prepare a questionnaire study, or some other way to acquire quantitative data about power-breaking and injuries.
Ok. You got me hooked on sine wave movements now. I can see the power and the snap of all the moves. This girl has the best technique I’ve ever seen practicing forms. My taekwondo gym didn’t have sine wave movement, but our forms are the same just done differently. And I’ve never seen anyone perform them better than this girl right here. I bet she’d beat the hell out of me too
I am happy to see that you understand the purpose of the sine wave....still, this video is quite old and the performance of Miss Sjövall nowadays would surely be even more convincing.
SOMEONE Please tell me the facing in the first move AND is it the same as#7 in Won-Hyo. If that is the case the facing is Half facing, Kicking with a HIGH Punch Not a Side fist. Why is this Different then in Won-Hyo? Do we do a side kick and side fist OR is it a side kick With a High punch. In the Book BOTH Say High punch, then WHY do I see Everyone preforming a side fist in Moon-Moo, Could it be the FACING in the 1st move they are doing is wrong?
But not like 30 years ago lol 😆 insane training and power requisite but very nice technique none the less.lol Set some bricks on fire and show some power and focus lol the flame represents how quickly your hand heats up lol
This video is a golden oldie :) I haven't been doing ITF videos lately. The last ones were from the 2019 Germany World Championships which are found on the official ITF RU-vid channel. I don't know if I´m going to do any ITF videos in the future because I´ve moved on to still photography. I´m doing just the opposite from the rest of the people and social media platforms :D But you never know if somebody asks to do yet another production (and time allowing). I got really tired of doing TKD videos, hard work and takes way too much time.
