In May 2015, Cincinnati Taekwondo hosted students from different schools around the mid-west for a two-day seminar with world renounced martial artists, stunt women, and kicking experts Chloe and Grace Bruce.
It's wonderful to see two great role models passing on their wisdom and techniques to our young people. This world needs more of these two. God bless you.
I love seeing kids do any type of Martial art. It teaches them so much about themselves and the discipline needed will help them grow to be great people in this world
I wish I was grown way more into martial arts when and after I was a kid all the way till the age I am today! I think anything you want to do is only limited by your mind!
As a former police lieutenant in the state of Texas I am so glad I got involved with martial arts training - Korean Taekwondo at the age of 13 because it gave me the confidence and ability to make effective arrests without having to hurt unarmed suspects. Not once did I have to revert to my stun gun or baton. I made it mandatory for my officers to train 3 times weekly and it cut down on suspects getting hurt. If all police agencies required their officers to have a minimum of 2 years specialized training you would see a different police in America today. One that is disciplined, one that can make effective arrests without hurting the suspect, and less shootings in general when it comes to unarmed suspects.
Oh Lord... I been looking for Bruce since 2011, finally got you on you tube.. 😇😇😇 You r my inspiration to pursue black belt in taekwondo, I wish to meet u in person if God bless me.. My deepest respect with loooooooooooooots of love.😘😘
In response to the negativity I've read in the comments, I hope to clarify a few things about TKD. Chloe and her sister are demonstrating muscle control, balance & extreme flexibility. Those aren't the moves they'd use in a real fight. I'm also a TKD black belt, and I can tell you that we learn many close combat self defense techniques that would be very effective in a street fight. We also use knee and elbow strikes like Muy Thai, it's in several of our patterns. Also in our arsenal are: Arm bars, joint attacks, throws, sweeps, pressure points and many other damaging moves that can be lethal. We're taught to try and avoid conflict, not use excessive force for something minor and to do whatever it takes if our life is actually being threatened. Eye gouging, ear clapping, nose breaking, knee cap destruction, finger breaking, to name a few. We do practice weapon disarmament and how to use a variety of weapons, should we ever need to. The Bo staff training can be applied to many long objects found around you. Like Batman, it's good to be prepared! What the Bruce sisters are showing, are elements of training in concert: the elements of "Dalyon" (maintaining equipment, our body is our equipment so you must keep fit and flexible), accuracy, speed and balance. It may not seem like there's power when a kick is really fast and really high. And high kicks aren't as powerful as a kick with the body behind it. However, the Bruce sisters would kick harder and would connect with their target if they needed to. The ability is there. And if they were breaking boards, they wouldn't be using their instep, they'd use the ball of the foot. More pounds per square inch (with their speed and precision) and they'd shatter the wood. TKD is proven to be very deadly and powerful, but the effectiveness of any technique by any martial artist (on untrained person) really depends on who's doing it. I have no doubt that Chloe and Grace Bruce could cause a ton of damage. It would be a mistake to underestimate them. As for their small size, they have enough skill to make that a non-issue. Martial artists that have knowledge and training experience help make them more confident and aware of their surroundings. They walk and act less like an easy target, thereby minimizing their risk of attack. I've never met any delusional martial artists that would expect a street fight to go down like a sparring match. We're trained, not brainwashed.
Sarah E omg thank you!! I hear people saying such negative stuff about them and taekwondo which really sucks because they seem really really good and taekwondo is amazing. People seem to think that black belts should know everything but in reality becoming a black belt just means that you have more to learn. It annoys me that people also think that taekwondo is all kicks but it really isnt. Sure kicks would be more useful in sparring but there are plenty of techniques that you mentioned that you use your hands for. You can do things like break someone's arm, different strikes, and blocks are all so important and people tend to over look them. Thank you for helping spread positivity on this topic :) (if you are wondering i am also a black belt :D)
touching toes is not that dificult i also never did it until i was 25 then i practice it everyday for 5 mins, before i go to bed and could touch my toes in 2 weeks, more 2 weeks and i touched the ground with close fist but doing splits and kicking high is definetly dificult for me
it takes years of practice i took this style about 20 years ago i took4 years of it in the middle of the classes i could kick just like that but yes you have to continue stretching your muscle sometimes it hurts like hell these kids are very good if they keep it up they will turn into very good fights it takes years of training trust me
!st. Your facility is amazing, inside and out. The area looks beautiful 2nd. Your students rock, I can see progression through the ranks and there is distinct skill difference between your upper and lower ranks. 3rd. You are a hell of a role model allowing other instructors in and expanding your students knowledge base, not all instructors have the confidence for that.
+That Random GiRl Yes, really. You can do a search online and confirm. I thought it was interesting myself they chose a martial artist. TV shows today like Legends of Tomorrow with Caity Lotz and the former NBC chuck with Yvonne Strohvoski are not only actors but are also black belts who do their own stunts on shows. I find those particularly amazing as they do both the acting and the stunts.
The higher you can kick with great balance and flexibility the more powerful, faster, and accurate you can kick in the lower ranges. The sense of super conditioning like this is not only empowering and confidence building, but brings a sense of achievement, discipline and physical fitness that is fun and spiritually uplifting.
Он утратил свою зрелищность за последние 15 - 20 лет. Пришли высокие когда правила стали подходить под них, получили приемущество в селекции спортсменов ,и средний рост остался в заведомо не выгодной ситуации. А тхэквондо WT стало больше походить на балет. "Маленькие моторчики" почти покинули даянг. Только такие как Сервет Тазегул кто работает в манере "старой школы" , раскручивает серии через стэп обязательно используя удары через спину. При этом помнит что нужно бить соперника что бы не только зарабатывать балы но и наносит физический урон. p.s. занимаюсь тхэквондо втф с 1994

Coogie Talks better than hoes pulling hair.I’m blue belt and I look at these people at my school trying to act hard just because they think they are good at fighting when in reality all they do is pull hair.
trust me when i was younger i am now 55 but way back i could do this stuff and trust me this kind of skills do work when i was taking this style way back i took 4 years of it and when me or whom ever kicks you in a real fight trust me it hurts like hell or even you land on the floor from being kicked in the head no i was not as good as these kids but i new how to handle myself it take years of practice and disapline tons of hard work this kind of martial arts or any other style its like anything else if you want to be dam good you have to train every day and stretch those muscles yes it gets very painfull like the muscles in your crock are most of these young kids are darn good again in order to flex like that it takes years of training its just like me if someone hits me by law i have to walk away even though i am not as good as i use to be 20 years ago one strike to the throat can kill ext ext now i am to old in a real fight you better know how to handle yourself
Actually it looks more like a dance.... Dancing in front of the opponent would probably fill the atmosphere with smile and change the situation into brotherhood. :)
guys I read all ur comments and all stuff but see she is giving nice teaching wtever it is and it is very useful for girls and boys as well bcz I think it incldes all and also that will improves more balancing, stamina, kicking and super flexible body u said no need to kick that much of height but I ask u one think can any balance with in the human height of continuous kick? how much kicks she gave so guys wt am i saying youncarage her atleast she is teaching to all as best of her wt about us? and mam really I appreciate u and I inspired very well about ur kicks
You are right if a person wants to learn/train in those things you mentioned such as balancing, stamina, flexibility...but otherwise, some of those kicks are useless in self defence.
Du Maroc, je vous dis bravo. C est très impressionnant et d une rare maîtrise. Souplesse extraordinaire résultat d un entraînement de longue date. De la part d un ancien entraîneur de Taekwondo.
01:30 my goal was achieving that level. unfortunately, i never got to that level. after 20 years since then, now i can kick at 30 degree while spinning around. :D
Wing Chun. Chu Shong Tin lineage. That’ll sort em out. Smith and Wesson is number 2 Wing Chun principle. DIRECTNESS. Hahahaaaaa All above info true. Not the s&w bit Cheers from Australia
@Franz Oakley I could have you change your mind forever and get you to sign up in 30 minutes. If your in Sydney it is possible. You must have seen some really bad practitioners to say that.
Это никто не применяет в простой драке но есть люди могут я занимался в девыностых и учились в уличных драках там быстро ненужное отсеиваеться .Балет нам показали .
now a days it is very useful for girls than boys so wt am i saying to girls dnt listen all these bloody stuff from others do learn wtevr u want it will definitely helps u whereever u r all the best
Reading of the "Not going to work in a real fight" comments, I say to you this. ALL those skills flexibility, speed, unlimited striking areas, balance, WILL HELP YOU in a real fight. Those girls have some serious talent and you know it.
The best thing in a real fight situation is speed; first comprehending early that a violent situation maybe about to occur and be pre-emptive; second be a faster runner than your opponent. A real fight situation can be a life changing event over nothing; you are badly injured, you are killed or its your antagonist that receives these irreversible conditions. But even if you are the victor you still might end up in prison for a very long time, either way you won't be the same again. Best option is to avoid after that practise sprinting and running.
I agree they have (athletic) talent . . . and marketing skills . . . but in a real situation, they would have their butts handed to them. All their high fancy stuff will work against them in reality. Right up there with WWE on the reality scale . . . I also trained with Bill "Superfoot" Wallace . . . THERE is a person who can kick!
Brett Bar u sound real stupid a kick to your knee and your done for. Wtf are u talking about. Nobody does head kicks in a real fight that’s how stupid u sound. Can they beat up a 200 pound well trained man no but could they defend themselves vs the average man walking the street absolutely. Fuck me u people are special af.
I have to say, I'm impressed with the Bruce's athletic ability; it shows what hard work and determination can accomplish. I am less than impressed with their martial art ability. They teach and demonstrate kicking techniques that are designed for demonstration and show, very similar to the Kukkiwon demonstration team (somewhat more impressive than these girls) I'm just worried that these young black belts will get into a situation where they think that flicking a bunch of fake dollyo chagis, balanced on one leg, is going to save them in a real fight, or even in a open tournament setting. If they're just doing it to further their career plans to get into the stunt person industry, then, good for them!
There's a reason why high-kicks are seldom used in Muay Thai -- it's because it is a high risk move. Often times when not landed it leaves you off-balanced or wide open to counter-attack. There is a reason why human beings have hands and arms you know. If you need to go to your opponent's head or body, "punching" guarantees the highest reward with the lowest possible risk. And if you need to go low, use low-kicks.
+Linda Mvungi Come to Canada. It's peaceful, and no one minds if you carry a knife. We do have special rules for guns though. Some pretty great martial arts schools here too.
Lg Legion its TKD although impressive, its not realistic!!!! U don't see MMA fighters or special forces studying TKD that is because they are all kicks. No boxing no grappling.
@@LionRVC1987 Apparently you can't fight or you wouldn't say stupid things like that. That's like saying the Chicago Bulls can always in six rings without Michael Jordan. People make styles not the other way around. I'm Taekwondo and I beat any style including Taekwondo.
Taekwondo is 80% feet, 20% hands. This is true but my Grand Master has a background in Kenpo and Akido. We win. I have street fighting and amateur boxing in my background. I can't be faded. The toughest styles out there are TKD, Shotokan, and Tang Soo Do. Also any of the Japanese Ryu styles. They'll beat anybody. I came in in my 20s thinking I was Bruce Lee because I saw all his movies and read all his books as a kid. Then I found out how hard TKD was. I moved up in the ranks quick after getting humbled by the TKD bullies. I was a blue belt taking out high ranking black belts at the blink of an eye. My instructors didn't put me out there because I didn't have insane skills. My instructors were the reigning champions in professional kickboxing (light heavyweight), also amateur heavyweight, welterweight and lightweight. They all had belts. Oh, they were brothers, white boys and Mexicans. My instructor was undefeated in full contact kickboxing, then, 26 and 0. Oh, I was their punching bag getting them reading for their fights. Master Cedric Robinson stressed that I use my boxing skills. Mind you me, kickboxing was way harder than boxing. The other top dogs at that time were Stan "The Man" Longinidis and Dennis Alexio. They were the last dragons of 100% hands and 100% feet. No one fights like that anymore...
