The boy in the blue is the World Junior Champion and National Korean Champion in the -58 Men's division.. He trains at Bung A Jin High School in Ulsan, Korea!
to the keyboard warriors in the comments, please quit ranting about street fights and how X martial art is better, shut up because no one cares and crying on the internet won't change your insecurity
THANK YOU!!! I get so sick of hearing that crap! Especially, the ones who keep saying "Put them in a U.F.C. ring and they would get their asses handed to them......" Most people post stuff because they are proud of their work. It takes more work to be an ass than to just say "Good work!"
@@JoeHeine You are comparing a striking based art with a throwing based art. It's not about the martial art you pick. It's about how you train and utilizes it. Every art is strong not one is better than the other.
+jeff fay exactly! Trust me, these backspinning kicks to the head works all the time. Im a small guy 5'7 and i have black belt in taekwondo and i have been to about 20 tournaments, but when i stopped tkd and started practising mma and thai-boxing i had a HUGE advantage because of my fast kicks. I beat up big guys just by using kicks. And I have KO'ed some guys within 20 sek just by using a dwit chagi (horse kick)
thebestpker1000 yup. People only think they are flashy because they don't understand when to use them. Against a bigger opponent like you said, the second they lunge in you can simply spin, and stay protected and at the same time deliver a powerful kick to the gut or face. KO.
FIREWORKS ! This is a proper training session ! Within the UK we have so much "health & safety über alles" ! Youths are not really permitted to do breakings or Kyuck pa and sparring is just for few minutes only ! ... This is an outstanding training session and I like to thank both for their courage ! x
great sparring..for those who know taekwondo, this sparring is of highest calibre..too many skills to be learned for my daughter..damned those fast feet..those skills are for advanced players..hope my daughter could pick 1 or two..a third would be a bonus..damned
stop being a bitch to your daughter you only get good if you're having fun. not with your insecure father yelling at you trying to get you to be better
Some of ya is getting in my nerve going on Taekwondo and their hands being down.. If you don't know anything about the Olympic sparring the stfu and don't watch... Their plating a game of don't give away Points their hands are down to prevent getting scored on the body... If their hands was up like they was about to box or kick box then they'd have a well protected face but then they'd be getting scored all in the body.... Now outside of Olympic sparring and in their regular class practice in sure their instructors have them have their hands up for real life situations... That's why ufc kicking boxing didn't get that far to be an Olympic sport... Because how hard is it to really just basically swing your fist out.... Now kicking is much harder and takes a lot more technique to do... If you don't lie looking at Taekwondo "Olympic sparring" because of the fact they aren't punching to the FACE then go watch itf... Or kick boxing... But again those didn't make it as and Olympic art now have a nice day
Their hands are also down so that they are completely relaxed, and can block a fast kick when needed. I do Taekwondo, and its just uncomfortable to keep your hands up like your in a Muay Thai match or something.
Goddamn dude i train every single day,and i consider my self fast,but after watching this guy it made me remember to be humble and just train more and more ;)
There are punches in Olympic sparring, it's just not as effective in terms of scoring as kicking is, which is why it's not often used, but there are a few matches out there where these guys score with punches. You just gotta find them. :P
Dude, let me tell you. The speed of this players are real. I also do taekwondo and let me tell you, this is how we normally spar. Taekwondo is known for having fast and flashy kicks. If you watch other taekwondo sparring then you will see the similarities of their speed to other advance taekwondo sparring.
No. Hear sounds... of course their movement is awesome and special. I think they are not normal player, maybe on level of Champions. Elites of the sport
no i havent, ill look him up though. Yes but it's all in the motion and the person who is behind the kick. You can have a muay thai kickboxer who has started at the age of 4 easily out power a tae kwon do person who has started at the age of 10. Its just pretty much who is behind the kick and how the style is executed as well as the motion. And as well they only tested one kick, maybe if they tested it out of 5 tries it could have turned out differently as well as using different kicks too,
at 1:18 the guy in the blue hogu rubbed the guys butt (the one that was on the ground) and sniffed his hand afterward :/ am i the only one that caught that?
I've seen this in my muay thai class when the tkd guys come to practice they just fall in love with their kicks and don't use their hands effectively it's pretty easy to just come to their faces and unload combinations on them
Could somebody explain to me why no punches are thrown at close range? They don't keep their guard up even... It's almost as they already know no punches are gonna be thrown....
They keep their guard down to stay relaxed, and there are no punches seen because punches only score 1/2 a point, so there is no reason to punch when they could just go in for another kick
i do taekwondo and find the lack of punching when in close a real issue .The practice of just standing there so close to an opponent with your hands down out on the street will get you knocked out real quick this needs to be changed
You don't do tkd. If you did, you would know that we train to punch, but furring competition, it would just be a boxing match if you were allowed to punch.
+Spooder Man Fail to see why what this guy is saying means he doesn't practice TKD. You are allowed to punch in TKD sparring, just not to the face. You sure you do TKD?
actually all korean taekwondo sparring athletes are like this, thats why its so hard to be the champion in korea, you may win one year but you may not the next, every little detail matters
Vid Luver People die in fights, because there are no rules. Sports have rules about every aspect of the match, fairness is important. In sport you can be a good person and a winner on the same day. In fighting the only value is winning, the cheapest fastest shot is best. A fair fight is not a fight, it is a sporting match. The more unfair a fight is, the better: you attack while your opponent sleeps. In a world with so many actual wars on every day, well fed, energetic people playing combat sports are dignified by referring to themselves as players.
***** I understand that this aspect of TKD is closer to "regular" sports, but why are TKD practitioners the only ones to be referred to as players in combat sports? Why aren't boxers called players? Or Judoka, karatekas, or even MMA fighters? I would actually argue that MMA as a whole is closer to "regular" sports than most other forms of martial arts since its the most regulated. So why dont we refer to them as "MMA players"?
***** Idk, I still think its a case of double standards. I get what you're saying and I agree with some aspects of it but I cant settle for that being the only reason since other combat sports are guilty of the some of same things that you mentioned. I'm ok with calling TKD practitioners "players" but as long as you call other combat sports practitioners "players" as well. It's just a bunch of hypocrisy in my eyes
most of you say that teakwondo kicks are easy to catch and too useless, but these kicks are extremely fast and extremely strong! look at some documentations where they test the strength and speed of a teakwondo kick! try to catch a kick of a professianal teakwondo fighter, these kicks are really fast. But I do teakwondo and a bit of kickboxin and I must say teakwondo has disadvantages. Number One is that you dont have an upper defense and number 2 many kicks are useless in a street because theyre to costly. But pick the right techniques which are heavy to catch and which can be done really easy and quickly! You just have to pick the right techniques of TKD for competing with other fighters.
More importantly, imagine using this kind of kick in an MMA match. by using Taekwondo kicking principles, but directing the kick at the thigh or the knee, you could easily disable your opponent. The biggest disadvantage of Taekwondo is that it kicks too high.
sure, thats why a teakwondo fighter has to practice mma or thaiboxing before getting into the ring with an mma/thai-fighter. you have to develop your techniques and you have to adapt your kicks. But I must say I saw many fights in mma where a fighter won with a high kick, its just about speed and timing
Barrett Nichols look at cung lee those tornado kicks is fast and could easy knock some one out its just you need the guts to use it in a real pro fight but in the streets a taekwondo fighter will easily beat some random gangster on the street
Fast kicks are fine, but more importantly, *smart* kicks are the better option. Fake high, hit low, or fake low, hit high. A smart fighter tricks his opponent into doing what he wants; it's not just about guts. Never put your hand, or your foot, so to say, out farther than you can draw it back.
the reason wtf fight put the hand down, the body swing faster and movement lighter. hand up suppose be well equipped especially on street fight. i used to apply muay thai skills in tkd sparring, normally wtf fighter will "puzzle" i fight in tkd rules but muay thai style.
In my oppinion they should learn more , when they kick or almost when they kick they obly kick 1 time. Im a only a student in taekwondoand our instructor said if your kick hits the armor you follow up a kick. Only my oppinion
True, but i think the reason why they didn't do it is because both of them are good a countering kicks. As what you've observed in their sparring they usually got points from countering each other which is normal to advance players but there are also people who still do a lot of combinations in sparring but that depends on the style of that person. Both of this guys are more used on getting points from countering and also, countering is more efficient in long sparrings since it conserves more stamina than attacking the opponent. This video is 7:28 mins long and normally that is considered a long sparring in taekwondo.
Martial Arts....is doing/repeating moves or techniques over and over to train/teach voluntary muscles to react on stimulus without thinking......so therefore if what you practice or train is kicking most of the times....chances are your first instinct is to kick....no matter what the given situation/confrontation is....now try to practice hands and kicks....and see what happens.
love the negative comments if you dont like say nothing it only makes you look stupid... I do ITF taekwondo in UK, I also used to do Shotokan and Wado Ryu and was a boxer for 13 years. Our ITF allows head punch, in sparring the only illegal moves are below the belt and in the back. But thats just point scoring We are taught all the vunerable points and in the street anything goes. Even though I boxed had 24 fights and lost none I am also much taller than my instructor but his taekwondo skills are such I can hardly get a point off him. Beleive me I come back with a few bruises. WTF is the style used in the Olympics and yes they do not punch but ITF certainly does. We just had a competition in scotland where there was two knockouts and one broken nose ;)
Edward Kenway WTF and ITF have almost same arsenal of kicks but just 2 different world organisations that's all ! Sorry, but your comment is just so much out of order ! You suggest that ITF would have the same 50 50 kicks as for example Tang Soo Do has ! I suggest, you take classes in WTF and ITF and compare ! Even in Tang Soo Do we would use more than 75 % foot work but we do encourage hand techniques as well x Personally, I regard TSD as the sister of big brother TKD but I love both set of martial arts. It is a bit naughty but in a fight I would prefer TKD but tournament which involves pattern I rather would use TSD instead x
depends which ITF and which comp and how they perceive it. if somone walks onto a kick or punch then its not the case. excessive contact is rarely a disqualification usually a warning.
The Olympics turned TKD into foot tag. They banned the punch to the face and punches to the body are legal but so unused. The old school tkd and classical martial arts seems eclipsed by mma now anyway. Fighting is just amped up to a real lethal level now.
Nurhadi Alam Islami I've used jump kicks to the the head. But you're right. It's better to skin kick then beat the shit out of them with ur hands. Being 6"4 94 kgs it's hard to warm up in the middle of a fifht
As I scroll on comments I see at least 90% of people of people who don't know shit about taekwondo,5% who did some kind of martial art for 2 weeks and other 5% who know that both of them are good but blue is just sick fast.If you don't like to watch taekwondo videos,don't.If you think you could do better go to Korea and do a few rounds with blue.Dear guys,you don't need to kick hard to beat your opponent,kick fast and kick like ghost.If he doesn't see it,he can't avoid it.
i think they should only stop the match if they run out of time, get KO'd, or someone gets pined down. AND NO FUCKING GEAR other than a mouth piece and something so you dont get punched or kicked in the balls
In full contact Taekwondo kickboxing, there is no gear, but in WTF taekwondo, the hogu (chestpiece), is not for protection, but the striking of the hogu indicates points.
Why are ya comparing there sparring to street fighting or muay Thai??? Their doing Olympic sparring ... I'm sure they know what to do in practice and what to do in the streets
I wouldn't say he's better than the guy in red. Fast, but not firm on his feet. The other guy may have taken less action, but it was more useful action and he seemed better on his feet.
??? nothing unusual. and very risky at this setting: gave the red guy plenty of time to push him to the back as he turned, he's just squandered this opportunity, but it gives not credit to blue.
