Korean high school athletes (years 7 to 12) train on average 2 hour sessions four times a day, everyday. However, the intensity of the sessions differ according to the schedule of competitions. They will do more fitness training during the winter due to the cold weather, and more sparring in the summer.
@@Kakyyoin I'm afraid its NOT BS. The Koreans actually train 8 hours a day 5 days a week. As a servicemember stationed in Korea I trained alongside them at this intensity.
@@Kakyyoin Professional Taekwondo athletes in Korea train for a ridiculous amount of time compared to contemporary Taekwondo competitors from other countries. They also have supposed systems for recovery in place to allow for such things. Please educate yourself more on the topic before making such statements.
their back kicks are amazing!, ive been doing tkd for about 2 years now, my back kicks are okay but compared to theirs, i need a lot of practice i wish i could have gone to their high school
Thanks for the clarification. The reason why the taekwondo team doesn't exist at Sung Kyun Kwan University anymore is because their funding went to a different sports team within the school. It's a shame, considering the university only accepted 1 person per weight category for entry every year. Athletes would have more chance of getting into Yong-In or Kyung-Hee uni, but entry into Sung Kyun Kwan was close to a miracle.
Doing a full split takes much conditioning, and being quick on your feet is simply a matter of muscle memory. Apart from that everything will take time and experience. The best advice I can give is: Don't rush to attain something. Enjoy the experience of learning Taekwondo, rather than see it as a means to achieve superficial goals.
i think that wtf tkd is one of the best martial arts for being a better street fighter because of the footwork it makes you light on your feet and able to make quick changes and notice how they seem to move so effortlessly.
Dwight Walls not really. WTF taekwondo is all about kicking and that's no good im street fighting. Even very good fighters fall down a lot in their fights. No head movement,no boxing,no realistic strike blocking,no takedown defense,weak kicks after adding electronic gear. Very very bad art for street fighting IMO
iv never had to kick anyone more than once and my leg is longer than your arm so with understood distance, and timing you don't need to punch unless you do something stupid like let someone get in your face
@@dwightwalls1544 I guess as long as you only fight at distance and in an area with good footing and with loose clothing and you are able to avoid clinches and you can get your kick in on your assailant then this might work for you.
No. Essentially a Poom belt is the same as a Black belt, just with an age restriction. Poom belts turning 18 will receive a black belt automatically without re-testing for it.
This is pretty cool stuff, makes me inspired to start my own thing at my school with there being 2 members in SKKU and them still being super motivated and skilled, unless that was just for training camp
Had that problem too, then I started too practice them every day and now I am totally fine with them - just do them as often as you can and I'm sure you will remember them perfectly ;-)
just to clarify... korean high school and university athletes are training 4 times a day every day... how many sets of doboks do you think they would need if they had to wear a dobok for every training session? not only that, most of them are training to lose weight for competition so you'll notice that they're all in long pants (taekwondo pants) and long jackets, even in the summer.
taekwondo was created for war before turned into sport "this is a little of my knowledge about taewondo.." and taekwondo has the most powerful kick out of other martial arts. "not including kung-fu" thats why taekwondo fighters always wear those protection armors because they dont want to get organ damages or brain damages when get kick on the head or stomach, or the sides... ^.^ this is what i know so..please dont hate.
@@spidermoon3574 Agree, TKD kicks are like rapid slash, but still really powerful, when Muay Thai kicks are like go through the target and destroy it. Anyway, I love both styles, and have trained long time both of them. Combining Taekwondo and Muay Thai is goat for standup fighting.
@@spidermoon3574 Fight Science already proved that TKD outclasses Muay Thai in the kick department. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gnu94B6Edrs.html
@@disruptor109 No. Fight Science only showed that one TKD practitioner generated more force than one Muay Thai practitioner. Fight Science ironically misses a crucial aspect of science, which is testing a large group of participants while accounting for other variables like age, weight, duration of training, etc.
Great video mate, hopefully on your next trip to Korea,you can go to my old uni for TKD - Yong-In or Kyung-Hee and Korea National Sport universities as they are the top for TKD. Sungkyunkwang is renowned more for academic studies like Seoul National rather than the quality of their sports teams - hence the TKD team of 2 people! Take it easy and all the best with your training!
He's not an athlete, he was part of the normal taekwondo group for children. All kids under 18 get their black belt within a year. But you'll see that it's not really a black belt, it's a Poom belt. From the time they get their Poom belt, they'll remain that way until they automatically get their black belt when they turn 18, so it doesn't matter how early they get their Poom belts. By the the time they get their black belts they're already at the right standard.
and a black belt only means you can perform the katas and you understand the mechanics of strikes and blocks against an opponent so u will probably survive sparing in a sports setting but a black belt doesn't mean that you can fight
You dont have to know something is Taekwondo by watching it. All you have to do is hear "Bowwww owwwww baaaaaahoooowwww baaa poooww pa paaaa paaa bachooo bachooo paaawwwwwooooo owwww baaaa baawwww aaaaaaaa."
As a practiconer of TKD, I must strongly object with you. Traditionally, in all forms of martial arts, hands were emphasized in practice and application. Legs are important, but if one doesn't develop the hands, one can easily be defeated. I have experience since I practice with my hands leaps and bounds more than most people in WTF and I will tell you, if we do a kickboxing/karate style match, I can easily dominate. A martial artist is to perfect everything: grappling, punching, and kicking
well, im sure such specialist as Mike tyson, can beat most average "martial artists". Bruce Lee said im not afraid of fighter that knows lots of techniques well, but the one that knows one perfectly (something like this)
Hey there, You should tag the singers and titles of the songs you used in your description then it will not get removed. It will help!!! Awesome video by the way, the one with music was also good^^
With all due respect to the wide variety of martial artists out there who are interested in this video, I thank you for your input. However I would just like to point out one thing. There is a reason why Taekwondo, and not Karate for example, is a part of the Olympic Games. Taekwondo originates as a martial arts, YES, however modern day Taekwondo is more focused on "Sport" Taekwondo. In this respect, asking why Taekwondo players don't use hand techniques as much as other
I met the daughter of the master at Joon No's while I was competing in Japan at the Kumamoto Open in 2006 (I was on the Stanford University team). Hope their school and team is doing well!
Damn. That cut kick fake with Right spinning hook kick was awesome at 6:23. That kid is probably 11 or 12. (The one in the black jacket) He had sick foot work before, good checking, then front leg shuffle and spinning hook kick. Very nice. Very smooth.
Dat redhead kicks hard ;) Well done mate!. I used to lift 140 kg to train my hamstrings when i was practicing taekwondo. Now i cant even lift 50 kg. God damn university!
Hey, does anyone have any contacts for these high schools/university's? I used to train at Kyung Hee but the head coach left. I would be most grateful please!!
한국인들 '대부분'은 7살을 전후로 태권도를 처음 접합니다. 이중에서 많은 수가 그만두지만 꾸준히 하는 친구들은 성인이 되기전에 이미 최소 10년의 배테랑이 됩니다. 영상 속 선수급의 발차기는 오랜시간 쌓인 결과물이므로 외국인이 성인이 된 후 단기간에 저렇게 하기는 어렵습니다. 기초부터 탄탄하게 배워나가는 것이 중요합니다. 화려함과 강력함은 자연스럽게 생길겁니다.
Korean athletes train all year round. Although the intensity of their training varies with the competition schedule throughout the year. This video was taken in the Korean spring time.
martial arts would be the same thing as asking why a soccer player doesn't just throw the ball when it is obviously easier. Sport Taekwondo has rules, and the players merely follow them. If you are personally more interested in the martial arts aspect of Taekwondo, I hope you find an instructor who can satisfy your needs. I will, henceforth, be deleting any comments that are posted in regards to this issue. Thank you for your support.
But grat video, I wish i had a universiti in Denmark, where I could train 4 times each day, I love taekwondo, and my dream is to be the world champ one day! I train 7 times at week, and other wise I train at home and I run every day.
Super! Kicks with spagat are amazing! I trained MMA and Muay Thai and now i want go to taekwondo. But i need spagat. I know that i can trained without spagat but i want with spagat, is most better. And it's cool! :)
+Магазин подгузников choose ur master wisely the kukkiwon certified masters they will teach the best,thats the reason why many people complain taekwondo is weak its just very different from other fighting styles so u need a proper master to master it,thats the reason why many people say taekwondo is weak coz they dint get a proper master
+Fügraw Asoki It's been scientifically proven that you strike with more power when you Ki-hop (scream). I forgot how much percent more power, It's a considerable amount though. And more reasons...
A kiai is used to emphasize power behind kick and strikes. However some people take the screaming to far or not far enough and you end up with this. Im not talking down on their way of traing but its a personal opinion.
to explain to people why tae kwon do doesn't use hands here's the answer, martial arts were created as a technique so that even weak people can defend themselves somewhat including arm strength, becuz ur leg is 2-4 times stronger than ur arms without training martial arts was created to use leg more than the arm, Ofc there are some that found ways to around it
i used to be in taekwondo until i hit the blue 2 belt , cus i was forced to do the splits buuuut instead they pushed until i teared my muscle lol why they do dis ?? can anyone explain .. i can do the kicks though .. but why the split??
U need alot of exercise if you are not good at splits....U can splits as much as u can but don't force too hurt because ur tendon need time to grow when u do split...
hi i am 29 from india and i just started tkd 3 weeks a ago , i practice everyday 1 hour, how much time it will take me to do splits and be quick on feet? :) looking at these camps i feel like i am missing a lot :)) thanks
