Taekwondo 🥋 Mens +80kg Gold Medal bout | Tokyo 2020 Replays 

4:11 nahhhhh

Tap the opponent with your foot, hug, repeat

As someone who does taekwondo this is very very true.

Throw a kick? More like feet shaking 🦶🦶🤝

And then SCREAM!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Once u get to Blue belt or higher, you'll definitely be better than that already

no real dights arent like this if you pass blue belt you can beat them

Oh they aren't trust me. This is bullshit

​@@aarambhagaming996you actually believe that. 😂 These athletes compete within the rules of their sport. Doesn't mean they can't end you when there aren't judges taking off points. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

​@@lillyess385true, these people know their thing but the rulesets are so stupid that the best way to go about it is this

Fr fr

Yep🥲

He deserved a medal.

Poor lad

but he knows taekwondo so how he got deep injuries (No Offense)

@@glomiticnightmare6287 I guess he doesn't. Seeing how these "Gold Medal bout" foot-fencers are fighting.

@@glomiticnightmare6287 taekwondo doesn't do anything in an actual fight, at least not the way it's done in the video. and even if it did getting attacked when not expecting it or by multiple people would still be hard to deal with.

We want to see people go BAM BAM BAM not just kicks for score, i am learning taekwondo, and i will show no mercy to any oppenent i get ;}

It's embarrassing, lol

@@chie970 basically, yes

Honestly it's embarrassing this martial art is do played with

@@glomiticnightmare6287 Yep... Just amusing. Even compared to the School Level Taekwondo I took here in India 😐

How far can you stretch your balls?

This is a bad representation of TKW. I feel ashamed knowing my martial art looks like this in the Olympics

@@Thepylonzmbie Yes, what these guys here are doing is a travesty and shameful. Olympics are terrible for martial arts.

@@Thepylonzmbie agreed, I feel like only representing the sparring aspect is not truthful to how taekwondo actually is.

I feel like the olympic fights honestly feel worse than the regular fights

How did you felt this sport is funny?

@@wilhelmusruperno1296 Watch the video again cuz taekwondo is for babies

@@sgt.sweat_frog7039 yes...not just taekwondo, but all olympic's self-defences martial art

taekwondo has gotten worse it was way better back then

They watered it down around 13 years ago itf tkd used to only have small amount of padding on the foot and pad for hand then they made it lame

Eu tbm estava esperando a mesma coisa, cadê a emoção dessas lutas? 😣

Siiim, mano, sou atleta de taekwondo tbm, e essa é a pior luta que eu já vi, na minha academia a gente se quebra a pal, isso aí parceiro pega pega, os cara só se agarram

not olympic taekwondo

@@marvel.vavtar7877 why

I like Olympics taekwondo too 🏅🥋

​@@littleboy8344yeah i like all martial arts and their competitions, Olympic Taekwondo is probably one of my least favorite ones tho

​@@randysafeen are you seriously entertained watching this? This is not true taekwondo

This is a white/yellow belt fight. Speaking from a fellow white belt

@@bruhbro1181 i was green belt but quit tae kwon do, i agree in how this is average sparring but not white/yellow at all

@@cristianjuarez1086 fair point, someone else said that its a green belt fight

There are two distinct styles of taekwondo. Chang Hon style, which is the older military style taekwondo, and Kukkiwon style, which is the new sporting style. There are other styles too that are derived from these two, but they're the main ones. The style used in the Olympics is the latter. It is less about defending yourself against an attacker, and more about scoring points, as you say.

@@bruhbro1181 i did tae kwon doe up to red belt, honestly i enjoyed sparring but i dont like how its basically a pogo stick hopping contest and that punching is nearly "banned" from the sport. Its almost like using punches are wrong, it just doesnt make sense to limit yourself so much. I just love doing forms, other than that, tae kwon doe is lowkey lame. I did chinese kung fu up until purple belt but had to move as a child, its much better in several ways, from the belt system to the weapon system and forms associated with it, its absolutely insane the amount of techniques you learn from there, its amazing, would go back in a heartbeat if i could!

why?

dont watch olympic taekwondo its bad

Watch full contact taekwondo instead of the Olympics foot fencing

@@epicmetal7462 I don't like it. You can watch whatever genre you want 😉

@@hohoangloctkd ok

Already

Its a kicking sport

@@IndepenisDay you still use hands for clinching, blocking/protection, and can easily get kicked in the arm. low IQ comment

@@IndepenisDayso?

@@IndepenisDaycan you block with a broken arm?

Their flashy and unnecessary

Yeah. Even fights at my club are more intense than this. Fight like these 2 people shown against people from my club and you'll most likely get demolished.

??? Liên quan

Lmao, me too

True

Yeah this is not the Teakwondo which I know, I know "traditional"Taekeondo is without body contact and you only learning the techniques but I don't see many of those techniqued in here just looks stupid af and I can understand all the haters who just saw this vid of Taekwondo haha

no punch to the head that is why

@@SeanZ1L yes, I'm understanding that more and more. ...but it's something that the powers that be should start changing if they don't want it to be seen as a joke and to have that rub off on TKD as a whole. Either that or just call it "competitive kicking" and not Tae Kwon Do.

@@lloyddobbler3512 It's called foot-fencing, Yoodanja-nim. I'm both a black belt holder, and a hater of this stupid foot fencing Olympics invented. They don't put their guard up and don't throw feints because doing so is a waste of their non-existent stamina. The "kwon" doesn't exist in this stupid sport, so this is not tae kwon do

they are blocking.....the low hands is to block body kicks(for head shots they simply sway out the way) they fight that way because it is the most effective for the RULES in which they fight. obviously. using your logic I could say the same about why boxers leave there legs squared up and weight on their front foot makes them weak against leg kicks and take downs. Or why Jiujitsu guys pull guard when in a street fight they can get slammed. etc etc....its just a game/sport and depending on the rules dictates how they fight. lol

Red? Hah. Green at best. I have a newbie that hasn't fought thrice in our dojang and he's doing more stuff than them...

@@randomstuff4762 hahaha yea fax bro.

Because those leave you open. Same reason you don’t see fancy stuff in fencing, once you get to a high enough level in a point combat sport, quick and simple is what works best.

taekwondo at Olympics is more a touch game as aim is to get the points not to attack ..

@@randomstuff4762 im a yellow belt lmao

Probably is. I started taekwondo 8 months ago and i can see that their kicks are just lifting your leg at the opponent. No technique.

@@randomstuff4762 you really saying that with only eight months of taekwondo on you? What a shame

@@randomstuff4762 what do you know then

This is why no one likes taekwondo anymore

Yep just taekwondo it’s only kicki mg

implementation of sensors

Real taekwondo sparring will incorporate more advanced kicks, more amazing jump kicks

They're not strong front kicks. They're mid at best front kicks. And let's not talk about their technique on that roundhouse 🗿

thats tchaikovsky

this is not a new Russian anthem. this is what replaces it for the next 1.5 years

@@genbyvtldtltd5476 sadly...They choose a better anthem to replace of their own, albeit for temporary.

Because REAL Karate and Taekwondo has different focus. Karate focuses more on punches and body strength & durability, while Tae Kwon Do focuses more on kicks, stamina, and endurance. Of course you can't see it here because this here and that there on the Olympics are not Tae Kwon Do and Karate. They're but a fcking joke.

@@chie970 Correct

So there's some serious skills you can get in TKD, but it's the difference between scoring points and actually getting into a fight, if you're going to actually fight the first thing to remember is to take out the legs

One of those weird science shows did a test of power from kicks from several martial arts. The martial arts they tested were taekwondo, shotokan karate, muay Thai and capoeira. Taekwondo obliterated the other three. Don be fooled by the fact that Olympic Taekwondo is about scoring points.

Please do not look at this and say that this is Taekwondo. This in the Olympics. Taewkondo in reality is so much better than this, and this is the poor side of WT TKW which is already a bad TKW style

​@@Thepylonzmbiethe thing is that most schools are teaching their students to prepare them for competition rather than for actual fights

He is the goat for this entire event when he beat rank no. 1 of Korea, and gave them a lesson, they can't always on the top, coz now taekwondo become popular among russians and in some central asian countries.

Pensei que ia ser aquelas lutas de emoção, foi nada

As a yellow belt, i find this the worst type of interesting.

I agree

Tul or poomsae would be way more interesting than this "sparring".

They are the best at what they do, what they do just isn't a typical martial arts match. It is fencing with feet.

I am a TKD champion and I gotta say only cry if they want to join the Olympics. If they want to do normal tournaments that's fine because it's not as bad as this
