First time Sparring | Beginner Taekwondo 

How was it?

how did it went?

Hi

Good luck

@@danicaorevic817 i lost but i will do better next time☺

Good job Ethereal. Just keep at it. Martial arts usually are not great for weight loss but you will become a better fighter. Sparring twice a month you can really improve. For most people if they've been training for 6-12 months their fighting will begin to be better than what they had before starting martial arts. Two key principles to being a better fighter are: 1) Try to always be unpredictable; not always easy but try not to get into patterns 2) Combinations; start off so that you always throw at least 2 techniques at a time, then increase to 3, then 4 if possible. It's said that a blackbelt is a white belt that never quit. Good luck.

I’m a yellow belt too but I spar 2 days a week

@@shevetlevi2821 Because of Covid I have been away from training. Yes you are correct. I did not lose weight from the training but it did make me watch my food intake a little more because I hated feeling like a “fat guy in a little coat” - Tommy Boy. What is great is I just received my 2nd covid vaccine (essential worker) and my 15 year old daughter who I had been doing taekwondo with is bothering me to get back! This made me so happy. We were about to test for high green when the pandemic started. Sparring is great. It trains to keep you calm, slow your brain down so you can anticipate and react. There is no substitute for sparring.

@@mattie2373 before Covid my dojang had said it was now going to be a requirement that some sparring will happen almost ever class with the class time extended about 15 or 30 min. I don’t know if that was a directive from Korea but I think most of the rules for class content were determined by Korea.

@@shevetlevi2821martial arts are the most evective exerxise and very good for weight lose unless you do like akido or kung fu

Cookie Jasmin dont u get the joke😑

Cookie Jasmin you cannot take a joke noob

@Jasmin the cookie it was a joke -_- and dont ask me why i'm watching this because i'm not a beginner (:

Haha

@jasmin the cookie ever heard of quoting?

When you become a black belt, know it can happen to you as well. A white belt could knock you out

YESSSSSS

Those tkd combos kicks will be useless in the UFC.

My names Dana...

Yasss

Samuel Mahmud I am in the same boat! Just started sparring and it’s hard not to stand there in front of my opponent with all this ufc stuff going through my mind🤣.

Ethereal I am feeling you on that thank you for making me feel good I've been working on the drills moving forward and backwards side to side and stepping forward and stepping backwards and throwing kicks along with them but it feels a little awkward but it's something that we are just going to have to work on

How it's going?

There is no such thing as purple belt

JabbaFett you

Same

simply drop kick and midle kick on face level

Matthew Ghirardi taekwondoins dont really use their shin for kicking. You’re better off asking a muay thai practioner since they use their shins a lot

Neo Gray so you throw a kick when you jump to the back or what

King Jihoon ya if you can’t throw a round kick fast enough then throw a round kick as your jumping backwards

Neo Gray ok thx bc tomorrow I’m maybe sparring with someone :)

King Jihoon nice good luck

Neo Gray thx

Is your pic YOU.like you really good in my seeing v (maybe good )fighter GO

Dont be nervous you've been training for this me too I'm going to my first tournament I'm a red stripe ok right just dont be nervous

Are u still a white belt or?

This make me so cringe right now

Ohhhh male😒

Gabsters z No it is not your fault, you are a white belt you are still learning how to do basic kicks. The black belt you were sparring should have been more patient with you and helping you instead of getting annoyed.

Next class, You should remind him that it's not ballet ;)

For me belt doesnt mean anything because four years ago when i was white belt i beat red belt in sparring. all we need to do is hard work and never give up

Zaha Yahaya not at my dojo all the black belts area grand master level they’ll wreck you

DR. death Its practice dummy they’re showing us

Avelino Tuason he was complying he actually has a lot of skills

Fire and Ice ITF TAEKWONDO

I like your profile pic🤣

My coach always says wr must guard the head especially. At all times because the opponent may kick from any side. U cant just kick all over without staying protected

I look straight into their eyes, and im being totally honest

I'm 6 months late but I guess I'll throw my opinion in as well. I look straight into their eyes and glance at their feet, I usually trick them so they won't be able to hit me.

Look at their chest protector, if you look into the eyes you won’t be able to react fast enough to their kicks. Also by looking at theis chest you can figure out where they protect themselves and where they don’t.
