@@chikalukorkwati2179 Nah man. He was hit in the vagus nerve. doesnt take much to go down, regardless of how big you are. thats why they tell you to keep the chin down, your neck muscles cover the vagus nerve when you do that. red didnt listen and went down. had he tucked his chin in, he'd've stayed on his feet.
@@Loooppp there was no impact to speak of!!! A weak kick is always a weak kick no matter where it lands!!! And to be honest ur about as dumb as it gets if u believe this was real!
@@adinug5384 yeah, I understand it happens. I was just a bit surprised because I typically see KOs from really fast backspins (spinning hook kick/wheel kick/whateveryoucallit).
Landing the flat side of the foot actually transfers more momentum. It may not whip as hard as the ankle, but it pushes with higher force throug it... And in the head...
@@boyethewise1728 agreed. This is basically a spinning back kick targeted at the head. He might even connect with the heel and there's a lot of mass behind that kick, even though it doesn't look as fast as as a spinning wheel kick.
I am not a martial artist but the kick precision was really amazing. Also, he could have blocked or avoided the kick by guarding with his hands near the head and not straight down. I amy be wrong on this last point as it might be something helping to avoid loosing points to opponents
taekwondo attacks usually come from a farther distance since it’s primarily kick based so a lot of times your head is completely safe, and you only really need to raise your guard when your opponent is closer- obviously the competitor in red failed to do this. another reason is that body shots will usually score the bulk of points and are more likely to be used so keeping your arms down makes it easier to guard your body. in my opinion, when sparring in taekwondo, the forward hand should be at mid section to block the body and the back hand should be higher to go to the face if necessary
That was a brachial stun. It requires very little strength and is more a precision strike than a power strike. gotta hit both the carotid branch and the vagus nerve at the same time
Read your opponents, blue already settled his mind on the roundhouse kick (gravity boots), and red walks right into it. Look for gravity boots, its when the opponent fixes its position on the ground preparing to strike.
Não precisa ser forte. Porém os chutes do Taekwondo são muito bem aplicados. Outras artes tÊm chutes parecidos, porém nenhuma tem o controle do TKD. No UFC, por exemplo, muitos atletas aplicam chutes sem técnica alguma. Só na base da força. Note que a maioria deles, inclusive, nem usam chutes altos. Porque não têm elasticidade para isso. Se você socar o seu queixo com os nós (os ossos) dos dedos indicador e médio (só por brincadeira) vai ver que mesmo brincando, sem força alguma praticamente, atordoa bastante. O chute foi bem aplicado e esse chute, especificmente, procura utilizar o calcanhar como ponto de impacto. Rapaz, o resultado não é uma coisa muito confortável de se sentir, pode acreditar. Me parece que a técnica que ele procurou aplicar foi o MONDOLIO TCHAGUI, que seria chute rodando. O famoso round house kick.
@@gpmdf__348 no karatê também tem,só que é na orelha quase sempre,se o cara tiver controle do chute o cara desliga o outro na mesma hora karatê shotokan
look up Uriah Hall vs Adam Cella if you want to see what this kick looks like with high velocity on it. spoiler alert: it is exactly as brutal as one would assume.
In any fight, if the opponent does a quick spin you move away. In sports the spin is usually followed up by a roundhouse kick, on the streets it may be followed up by a backfist or a weapon. Its very easy to evade a spin attack, its very easy to counter a spin attack. You want to look at your opponent so you should keep reasonable distance. The spin always starts with the torso, then the legs will follow, and finally the head has to turn in order to complete the motion. There is a good window of opportunity where your opponent is not looking at you, this is your time to move. Most people only spin one way, if you seen it once you should know whats coming. You should always practice both left and right stances. Get a partner and practice your spins and counters. The rules are simple, if you want to open up an attack you must spin first, if you want to counter an attack the opponent must be spinning. The point is to intercept the spin before it leads out to an attack, and to avoid any attacks that follow the spin. Spin attacks are liabilities, you can only surprise the unsuspecting, the more experienced your opponent is the less likely you will succeed implementing them.
I don't think the guy was faking when he hit the floor and got up dizzy only to fall again, but you'd know for sure if it were your face he was kicking
One of life's great mysteries.......Taekwondo practitioners almost ALWAYS compete with their hands around their waist. There must be reasoning for it, but it usually makes for regular knockouts. It seems really odd to me.
@@kermit1211 not if your taught to block correctly. Blocking requires the correct tool, applied to the correct part of the body. PLUS if your conditioning is adequate, blocks are strikes. This is sport TKD not self defence
Its just bad form. My teacher always told us keep your hands up when you kick. When kicking, naturally the hands want to go down. It takes for much repetition for them to want to stay up as first nature. And stay up in the correct guard position protecting your face at that.
@@chrismalivoire2236 maybe the wrong blocking form part is right but real reason is that TKD keep hands down is because we can move around faster and also bait our opponents into attacking our open side to setup for a counter kick.
@@xyaeiounn Not it isn't . The protection is minimal against punches and kicks, the protection is for CUTS only. And the load is NOT negligible , nor is the exaggerated proportions of your head while you're wearing them . Not to mention the blind spots created on the outside of your vision. Bigger target + Harder to move + harder to see = get hit more often . Don't want to take too much damage while sparring? Learn control and don't rely on equipment .
@@rikk8990 the UFC is very diligent with their post-fight healthcare, so i'm pretty confident he was thoroughly checked out. sad fact about Cella's fighting career though-- he was undefeated going into that fight, then went on to fight 14 more times, 10 of which he lost mostly by KO or sub. his last fight was in 2018 (also a loss), so i have to assume he no longer fights professionally.
world taekwondo federation kicks are designed for speed not power mind u these kids should have their hands up for guarding head. Anyway goes to show you dont need much power applied to the chin to put them down.
As a black belt in Tae Kwon Do I can tell you that they teach the best kick techniques for efficacy & power. But as a 30 yr trained mixed martial artist I can also tell you that this fighting style is not good for self defense, it's not good on its own for any other kind of combat, it's only a sport, like boxing. People constantly like to crap on this sport because they're ignorant to the limitations in the rules. They're used to UFC. TKD is a great base for martial arts but don't spend more than a few years with it, then move on to Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, Jui Jitsu, or something else. #getchadamnhandsup
