dont know why those not related to TKD are watching but this is really helpful. TKD for me is a sport, stretches your legs and help me against untrained attackers but i dont expect it to be very useful in MMA. There are better alternatives yes but those who take it as a sport than bashing people up, you're looking at the right martial art unless its old TKD, they're crazy
@@socalbeachieboy6135 yeah, they usually use the basic kicks like front kick, turning side kick but there are exceptions though. What i meant was that you can't rely solely on TKD an expect to reach very far in MMA without learning other martial arts.
@@iasyama1999 you're right. But I mean there are plenty of examples of them using other kicks. The TKD fighters themselves know they can't rely on it by themselves
this stuff is great ( you guys demonstrated some great techniques and kicks) Ignore all those haters that bring up bjj/kickboxing or any of that other stuff) ( This is W.T.F TKD we're talking about on this page so why bring up all these other martial arts? it's irrelevant and ppl need to shut up especially if they dont have a clue on how hard/ difficult tkd can be)
Both those guys are very talented at taekwondo, I bet they're both second or third degree black belts at least! I'm actually also a martial artist, and for me the two hardest kicks to get right are 540 kicks and the cut down and/or axe kick. And the hook kick is the hardest one to get power on.
Wow! Im a taekwondoin too. So I can say that those kicks are very well done! Tuff and great! Thanks very much guys for that videos even the slow motions because its makes it to a great video to learn and train the kicks! Actually I'm on blue belt close to next examination (blue-brown). I hope I will be able to be so good as you are guys! Pls keep uploading your tkd-videos/training stuff!
why are there so many dislikes. they are really good. I miss taekwondo. I tore my acl and I am still recovering for six months but ill be back doing it again soon.
Guys, if you practice this kicks, don't drop your guard. I know your body will lower your hands for balance but resist it. If your kick fails you'll get punished heavily.
I am glad to find this video, so I can enjoy their truly strong and precise kicks, as a result of probably very long practicing, focusing and will. Best greetings from Germany
Didn't see what I was hoping to find. I had a Korean 6th dan instructor in ~1988 whose name was Seung-Yong (sp?) Park. He received his training at the S Korea military academy and was getting a college degree in the U.S. He was always very humble, with a wife and 2 (3?) young kids at the time. He was trying to get the beginner class (white/yellow belt) to try an advanced kick and everyone became disgruntled. So he proved it could be done. The way I remember it, it was a spinning jump crescent with the right leg, immediately followed by an axe kick, before either foot landed. Cool guy, wish I hadn't lost his mailing address.
@@happyface4234 No, granted it's been almost 35 years, but the way I remember it... a jump spinning outside crescent with the right leg followed by an axe kick with the left leg, both kicks executed while in the air.
I mean we can do some research and try to find him. if you want. but we will need further information, like the name of the Dojo, his degree or the university he used to attend, it would be quiet good info. 👍
Re street fighting application, Good technique and drills for point scoring, all these kicks can be trained in this form and in a fuller form where you go right through the target, we trained turning and reverse turns to return full 360, but when you connect that force goes into the target, I've trained with guys in TKD that had so much speed and power even at 60kg, that they could drop most streefighters with one or two low or midsection kicks before they could even say "what are you looking at" I trained judo then tae kwon do, practiced some techniques from Muay Thai, some kali, grappling, and submission techniques and tai chi, and weigh 90kg, but I wouldn't get into a street fight unless it was absolutely necessary, I've backed away from guys who have been in my face challenging me that I knew for a fact were wide open to being knocked out with one strike. Jack of all trades, master of one (or two) is the way to go for self defence I reckon, if you've trained for a long time you'll have confidence (not overconfidence which is a compensation for fear and insecurity) in your ability you carry yourself in a particular way, and with an awareness of surroundings and are able to pick up on the subtle vibes in situations usually long before they escalate and remove yourself and those you care for from the environment, and you don't have to lash out, freeze or crumble out of fear if confronted; that gets you out of 95% of potential situations on the street, most street fighters are bullies looking for easy wins and can sense fear, you do get some crazies who just can't be reasoned with or wont give it up though, you can't always avoid it. But if your looking for trouble at some level, it will almost certainly find you. No matter how good you think you are, if there is a blade or a group involved there is a good chance you will lose, so avoiding situations where possible is the best option.
+David Finlayson i dont know anything about martial arts but I can fucking KO anyone with my improvised 50k volt stunn penn.. as for defense i made an improvised kevlar jacket..
This is highly appreciated towards my leopard kung fu training my fourth year in serious muay thai training and my third year as a orange krav maga belt
The kicks they forgot are front kicks, inner crescent kicks, outer crescent kicks, spinning heel kicks and B twists. I also wish they'd do a video for hand techniques like blocking, punching, elbow strikes, knife hand strikes and back fists. The kicks they did do were awesome though! Still a great video.
MMA fighters like Cung Le, Ben Henderson,Anthony Pettis and his brother have TKD backgrounds. They have some of the best kicking skills in mma. TKD like most striking styles just needs to be backed up with grappling.
Excellent kicks, I practice taekwondo and karate and discipline is needed. I just opened my channel and I want to learn more techniques because martial arts are the best.
What are the name of these guys? What is the name of the original youtube channel of these guys? I want to see some more videos of them , but I cant find!!
@partisan No it didn't. The Korean government's origin story of TKD isn't true. TKD was developed from general Choi Hong Hi, he studied Shotokan Karate. When you look at the hand strikes and blocks of Shotokan Karate and compare them to non-olympic TKD, you'll see that most of them are the same.
Some schools are also derived from Okinawan Karate as well (like Goju-Ryu), but yeah for the most part, the traditional style is from Japanese arts and a little bit of Northern Chinese Kung Fu.
For all the people on this page complaining about no hand defense in tkd, there are. If you haven't taken tkd how would you know what is taught. So stop bitching and underestimating tkd, that's why ppl usually lose fights. It's about technique and situation you're in. Btw I'm a tkd user, we learn elbow, chops, and knee strikes.
Not to be a jerk by saying this but blocking with your arms won't do much good, in certain situations you could get some serious broken bones from that. It's probably not a good idea to use ur elbow in a fight either, might break just as easily.
Wong Foo Yen Where is there a knee strike in taguek 7? It's been a while since I've done it but I do recall my instructor telling me to never strike with the knee.
you gotta respect the origin of tkd so better put up a korean flag too. it's like braziliian jiu jitsu where there is a brazilian flag hung up in the gym.
I love how every one will always have something bad to say about taekwondo when most of yall dont even practice or are not that good in it so you think that it is useless. It's a marial art if you want to learn how to defend yourself go take some kick boxing classes or idk. Stop bashing taekwondo yall
Sinariouss S I’m red belt in taekwondo.it does work you just don’t throw a fucking background whenever.i like how people say it’s useless but don’t go fight a master.
believe me I have got my ass handed to me because one time I was sparring with a really big man and he sidekicked me in the stomach.i am very flexible with my kicks but I forgot to keep my hands up to guard my chest and that's when he sidekicked me.i was on the floor breathing hard and crying because when you get stricked to the stomach it stops time for you.i will never forget that moment.lol these hardcore dudes trying to act all hard.
@@mavisautumn8977 i havent done any official fight yet but i saw some of my fellow classmates getting there asses kicked and men that looks painfull and got hit in the stomach too with the protection on Ouch. Still cant wait to compete. So yes these people really should try it for themselves and get the full experience lmao
Side turning jump front back forward combo 540 roundhouse multi flying double step center power head kick (Proceeds to break the fabric of reality to perform a kick)
Cut down kick is called an axe kick, and reverse kick is also called a hook kick. Combo at 3:07 is like a combo of partially a skipping font snap, and a axe kick. Sorry, this was confusing me, I only saw reversed hook kicks, but then I saw that there was a front hook too. It's weird how this sport actually originated in Kaisong/Kaesong in North Korea. 540 kick looks hard, but if they can do it, with enough practice, it would be nothing.
@@elite6804 black belt it's about 4 years maybe 3, I used to go tae kwon do, in 2 years I reached green belt, 1 year is about 3 belts if you pass the tests, so your first year you are most prob going to get half yellow and yellow I believe
skelki Galatasaray you want to trust me im a black belt you will die from the stretching of your legs in the first day all your body will have pain to my first day it didint hurt my body at all im used to it they teach you the basics but you have to develop that basic into a unique
Looks very impressive to look at, but many of the kicks are very telegraphed, so very risky to use in a street fight. I see it as an awesome display of acrobatics.
You will get your ass kicked in a second, believe me. If you really want to do something that helps you in any way on the street then consider learning MMA or Krav Maga. Anything else is useless and only fancy dancing. Especially Wing Chun. All the deflecting and "use your opponents force against him" and other fancy stuff doesn't work on the street or if you really have to defend yourself. People on the street don't act like you would expect them. I have experience in Boxing, Thai Boxing, TKD and some Tai Chi Quan. You need good upper body work which comes from Boxing, leg work from Thai Boxing/TKD and also some grappling which you can get from MMA. You need to know how to free yourself from certain positions or just choke the fuck out of the aggressor on the floor. Forget about Wing Chun before you waste a lot of time for it.
