i have trained with Kim before and he is an amazing guy. He really does have clean tricks. This form was just focusing on high energy, speed and power. p.s. I love how KJN Tony just walks right in front of the camera ;)
This guy is in my association and I know him!! His form is amazing and just because he does pedestrian tricking doesn't mean he is bad!! He is amazing :)
Hahah and the guy who walked in from of the camera is Tony Thompson, one of my association's founders :)
I actually tricked with Kim Do like a week or so after LoopKicks. And yeah, he's still sick without the music. I never saw him perform a form, but he's got some tricks that still make me so "Wha?"
i noticed that on every open form he does, it's always the same. So i don't like him very much because he is so predictable, and he's always using those cool sound effects to make his form look all good. Music is a tool, i would like to see him do an open form without music, then see how good he looks, i guarentee, he would look worse without the music.
Kim Do does that because no one else ever does it. That's the real reason why he never changes. I wouldn't be quick to put down those whom are on teams especially those on team loopkicks and straight up. He's on both.
Irregardless of of your statement, the fact remains, the form is sloppy. It is not clean. How can you say it is not sloppy? He does not cock his leg back on the kicks, he does not keep his hands up on the kicks and his stances are not low. Sorry for judging him, but let's face it we all have seen him done better.
I know he has a kick named after him. I am only referring to this performance vs. his better performance. I'm just being a judge. I have not criticized his skills in any way cause we know he has tricks, however, this form is sloppy. All you have to do is tell me why this form is not sloppy.
@CuriousGeorge53142 u can kinda get awaay with sloppiness when it comes to extreme open forms they just care about the kicks in these kinds of open forms.
@CuriousGeorge53142 ALRIGHT ALRIGHT MISTER! I AM TESTING FOR MY 3RD DEGREE IN 5 MONTHS! this is the final grade...he must have been nervous or something! I was nervous when i did my 2nd degree...AND THOSE flips take out alot of energy....CAN U DO BETTER? if u can prove it :) thank you and have a nice day
But don't knock patterns because you deem them ineffective, they are a useful teaching tool, for muscle memory, and you have to at least respect those who have good technique, because it takes a lot of practice to pull of what they do, just like it does to do a flying armbar, however Kim Do Nguyen has no technique, he is just a good gymnast, and he can get respect for that if he wants. And this character count thing is RIDICULOUS.
Forms are just for show. Unfortunately, Martial Arts studioes put forms as a main emphasis compared to actual sparring that is best used to create on the street scenarios. Thus they are doing their students a disservice by glorifying forms, and discouraging real competition.
Yeah, let's forget everything the actual art is about and just make it about sport, and show-boating, that will teach the students about integrity, and respect. AWESOME IDEA. Let's demoralize the martial arts even more than what they are already, forms are a part of traditional martial arts used to show the grace and beauty of the art, as well teaching certain techniques, however these forms, are just for show, they are just flips, they have nothing to do with martial art, it's cheerleading
Forms are useless, and divert attention away from actual self defense. Real life is not about a set of coordinated movements. Real life is unpredictable. Just because something is of 'tradition' does not mean it is right.
Forms create muscle memory, retard, which is needed in martial arts, but you can't BASE your martial arts on just forms alone, and NO martial art does that. They mix it in with self-defense strategies, as well as sparring and whatnot, HOWEVER, muscle memory needs to be created to create AUTOMATIC REFLEX, SO YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO THINK, in case a self-defense situation comes up. You will just DO. "Don't think, feeeel." How ignorant are you? Seriously?
And apparently the 'honor' you learned from your forms taught you to call people 'retards' because you disagree with them.
Your classic front stance is completely detrimental in a real life fight. A lot of it is more art than actual practicality.
You create an 'automatic reflex' by recreating the situations which occurs during pad training, and sparring, where you are actually striking something.
I think the retarded one is you who buys into that crookery.
Honor doesn't exist on the internet, I can do whatever I please. Stances are detrimental to teaching good foundation though, you don't just learn front stance, you learn balance and foundation, something you would need in a fight. Yes that is also what martial arts do! You must have not been at the right school, pattern's as well as pad-training, full-contact sparring, grappling strategies, and joint-locking techniques are all repeated to create automatic relfex and muscle memory.
LOL, honor doesn't exist on the internet? That means you are a coward who calls people names on the internet that you would never do on the street.
Pattern's in pad training, full-contact sparring, grappling, etc. are PRACTICAL. Doing horse stance double inward knifehand chops in forms is NOT practical and gives you something useless to remember.
It doesn't mean I am a coward, it means I play with people's emotions, look how butthurt you get and the way you attack me, and all I am doing is typing on a keyboard. Linguistics have more power than you think, trust me.
I don't know what else to say, you agreed with me, and no one does horse stance double knifehand chops, backstand double knifehand blocks maybe, but again pattern's set a foundation,and reinforces stances, which are needed, a bad stance=bad balance, bad balance not practical.
Nobody got butthurt. I just exposed you for the supposed 'martial arts spirit' that you've learned from forms. Don't think you're so clever. I can easily throw back an insult towards you, but you're flawed argument is enough to expose you as a fraud.
The pattern analogy is useless. Does learning patterns while cooking help you become a good fighter?
You model patterns off of practical techniques. Not garbage like horse stance.
Yeah, but your insult doesn't do anything for me, because I don't take the internet seriously. The internet is just a big game, and when people like you actually DECIDE to defend yourselves to me, there is so much fail it's astronomical. Nice analogy there, do you cook and practice mitt drills? How practical is that? Patterns off a chance to show good technique, something you probably don't have, realize the fact not everyone wants to be a professional fighter.
As well you can't define what "practical" is, you can only have a good base, you realize going over set self-defense techniques is the same as doing patterns right? Doing mitt-drills is the same as doing patterns. Do you expect some street thug to say "here hit this mitt!" To teach self-defense is only to teach basics and vital points, patterns actually give someone a sense of accomplishment and reinforce the said marital art's technique.
There's no self defense techniques in palgues or tagues. They're completely useless forms for the 'art' aspect of Tae Kwon Do.
Hitting a mitt stimulates hitting a target. Doing a horse stance stimulates your opponent laughing at you.
Patterns in mitt training train you to avoid targets, hit moving targets, and foot work. TKD forms are moving in a I shape which does not occur in real life.
Face it, you're realizing TKD is garbage and doesn't work in real life.
You are missing the point entirely. Stop getting so butthurt. The pattern's re-enforce the techniques. However hitting a mitt, which is good practice for hand technique, how do you know how effective it will be in a practical situation? You know what pattern's also include in them? eye-gouges and groin-shot's, two things you can rely on in a practical situation, if you do MMA you have to go with what rules there are for the sport.
Nobody is 'butthurt'. I'm just making my point that you don't have a 'martial artist's' spirit. You're just like anybody on the internet.
A thai clinch, and knee to the croch is very replicable to a real life situation. Many MMA places teach Krav Maga which is the Israeli military self defense system that teaches you those techniques. They don't learn forms either btw.
If you took TRADTIONAL TKD, you'd realize the amount of time that is spent NOT on set self-defense demo's, but practical knowledge of vital points and things that could be useful "practically" you think your armbar is going to work in a street-fight? Really? The average athlete just has to train. train long and hard. the art is not what beats an opponent, it's the person using it. individual skill and experience comes into play in ANY fight. You assume all TKD is patterns and nothing else.
You're severely underestimating the average guy on the street who is going to fight you. A lot of those guys get into fights regularly. A TKD swing kick is not going to be enough to take that person down.
TKD doesn't teach enough boxing tecniques in regards to ducking and weaving to avoid a hit. A lot of those people can easily punch through the basic tae kwon do blocks.
Now you are depending on the studio! Average taekwondo does work on hand techniques, but not exclusively. There are many studio's that aren't Mcdojo's that incorporate Hapikido and boxing into the curriculum! When taekwondo is combined with these, you become a fairly decent striker, but in basic TRAD TKD there is almost some grappling utilized but not as much as something like BJJ. However, in a street fight who is going to kick someone in the head? You go by instinct.
AND ANY MARTIAL ART can help you defend yourself, especially by repetition which does create automatic reflex, so you know if some guy does try to throw a punch you have enough sense to get out of the way or to duck, and then counter with something effective,i.e.a groin kick, and eye-gouge, biting in a street fight anything goes, and the BASIS for Traditional martial arts is self-defense, and patterns are just another way of teaching your muscles to react! Time to agree to disagree.
AS WELL. It seems you have been studying too much of Kim Do's style, and not looked into more traditional martial arts schools, who don't give away the BB, who know that martial arts is about humility, and the art itself, but also that a martial art is based around SELF-DEFENSE. The patterns are taught as a form of automatic reflex, but as well teaching students about their art's history and philosophy and it gets them in a focused mindset. cheerleading patterns like this don't do that!
WOW totally agree with Deilgyre, he knwos wat he is saying, and he seems like the tyep of person that knows a lot mor then half the people here that comment
seirously, but this guy's stands were way off, all i saw was acrobats.....thats not art
for all i know, a white belt can do first level kata with no acrobats, but perfect stands and can beat him in scores...its not the moves he does, its how he does it
I am a martial artist as well and some of the shit some of you people are saying are quite bogus. Like classicwhiteboy said, extreme forms are jusr used for show. I also do sport karate and focus on traditionalism as well, but if you just restrict yo self with just one thing then you are just going to be stuck in the mind frame that you have.. there is more to martial arts besides mma, tricking, and fighting. its a way of life and being martial artist yall be able to understand that.
all you people who hate extreme martial arts, just go away...nobody loves you. besides, extreme forms aren't supposed to be practical, its to show the ART in martial arts. guys in the ufc can kick serious ass, but i doubt they could do half the stuff some of these extreme ma guys can do, though the ufc guys could probably kick their asses.
His "intro" itself, even before he introduces himself to the judges, is embarrassing.
Technically, I see alot of gymnastics, but much of the core martial art body mechanics are slop. I mean, the first thing he does is assume a horse stance which is terrible.
If this is what youth sees as "great martial arts" - flashy useless kicks, gymnastics, vogue poses, pop music, egocentric introductions...over real martial arts concepts and principles, then I feel sad.
dude its a free form competition. if u dont like contemporary thats ur pref but ur basing ur criticism as if it were a traditional competition which in this case is not.
also if ur one of those 'it wont work in a fight' type of person please take ur UFC comments elsewhere. this is NOT meant for fighting. Aeshetics only.
given his form was sloppy and i dont like Kim DO that much ( i prefer emig,sterlig or terada) he's still part of team straight up for a reason
"dude", you're missing the point. Its clear that "free form competition" is not for real combat.The point is that "free form competition" should be banned as it is gaying up our youth.
I completely agree.Our whole generation faces this problem:all is commercialized and "styled" and no real meaning is conveyed.If this prancing egotist had an inkling of what he and the rest of these showboats were destroying he would hide his face in shame.
hahaha you guys are a bunch of douche bags, but anyways what about just doing it for fun? ever thought about that? im sure as hell he had fun doing it and everyone thought it was entertaining, isn't that good already? it doesn't matter whether you think its gay or not thats just an opinion. personally i thought that was cool. open forms are hella fun to do
@ :59 it looked liek the equivalent to a 540 kick, but a knee instead. and i agree with Tony, his aerial tricks are a little loose, but he can polish that
he has good coreography, but his technique is unfocused and the demo is a bit on the short end. it would have been nice if it were longer. don't misunderstand my critiques though; I speak from experience and areial moves are not his strength. I'm sure he can polish them though.
i have trained with Kim before and he is an amazing guy. He really does have clean tricks. This form was just focusing on high energy, speed and power. p.s. I love how KJN Tony just walks right in front of the camera ;)
