This is VERY VERY similar to how we trained. We were taught TKD as our foundation and for tournaments. However, we also trained with Judo and Hapkido for more advantages for self defense. My Grand Master was really into Hapkido and Judo just as much as TKD. It seems like now it has been combined. Each part of the different Martial Art has an advantage, TKD for Kicking and Punch, Hapkido for hand to hand self-defense and Judo for throws. I really like it.
Kang Jun (Gongkwon Yusul) - WYF (Korean) Synthesized Art
An individual founds an art, proliferates it to popularity, then the Korean Government nationalizes it, claims it is a billion years old, and takes all the credit!
And what the heck, this is just a watered down form of chinese martial arts. I see Judo in there and lots of other stuff. Did the koreans just call it a new name and incorporate random stuff from all over? Seriously, TKD really isn't that effective. You would be better off doing Judo or Jiu Jitsu in its pure form. I guess they just want something in submissions that is "korean" hahahahah
@WalkLIkeACholo as I understand it, ymd is an offshoot of what hapkido used to be. it split off into hankido in the late 90s, and then hankido turning into ymd in the early 2000s.
I dont think Yongmudo was created due to popularity of grappling and jujitsu today. That trend came to korea after yongmudo was created. It is true that Yongmudo takes influences from Judo and wrestling, but i see nothing wrong with that. After all other styles like japanese shooto takes wrestling's influence, sambo took that of judo, etc. This style seem to combine all arts studied at Yongin University.
I hope this is just a demonstration because this is not very useful for self defense. All I see is a bunch of techniques that can be used on people who are just like them or are willing to be demonstrated upon. I hate to say it but I dont think these guys have ever done a throw in real life. A throw on the street would be very effective, ie the concrete can cause instant neutralization but it is hard to do a throw against a thug in general
@Syrian1019 having done a real throw on a real life attacker, i can honestly say that if you've practiced for a long time, a throw against a random thug is quite easy. obviously, it depends on the throw. you wouldn't want to do one of those spinning around the neck via the legs throws in the real world.
Agreed. I've never had a problem getting throws on people who had no idea what was coming. Your average person just does not have the appreciation for grappling without training.
This is cool. It looks like a mutant hybrid of Judo and Hapkido, which of course has all the cool TKD stuff included. It reminds me of Kyukido, but flashier.
You don't get concussions training for mixed martial arts. No one goes all out full contact in mixed martial arts training, because you don't want to break yourself before your actual competition...and even then, mixed martial arts has about as many concussions as Olympic TKD.
Of course training should not result in head trauma but mma competitions do result in concussions. In (some of) these YMD competions head contact is not allowed so I think they are safer especially for the younger competitors.
Olympic TKD competitions result in concussions. Taekyeon results in concussions, Kyokushin results in concussions. MMA results in less concussions than any of them because of it's inclusion of submissionsa and chokes. YMD's rules are no more restrictive of head contact than Olympic TKD.
Your point is meaningless, because each of these combat sports restricts striking to the head at youth levels.
Seriously, stop posting BS opinions about things you don't know about.
@MadMonk108 actually, in most ymd tournaments, kicking to the head is not allowed. a lot of the times, competitors won't even wear head gear because they know they won't get hit in the head. i'm thinking some research on this is in order.
@MadMonk108 i recall hearing of certain schools that do go all out. and i would doubt that there are as many concussions. kicking to the head in tkd isn't done as frequently as punching to the head is done in mma.
great video, awesome place... Yong-In Univ. is just a must for any martial arts enthusiast... their Judo is excellent, their taekwondo is great, just simply great...
So lame...I`ve been doing Olympic TKD for 17 years and just started training Judo too. This is silly. Essentially watered down TKD and Judo. Like they are trying to make a Hanmadang "style".

Let me get this right...
Judo...Japanese art
Kendo or "kumdo".. Japanese Art
Taekwondo..Korean take on Japanese Karate
YongMooDo... Combines these three and it's considered a art based in Korean tradition.
The Japanese really did take Korean peoples identification back in the occupation of Korea. They don't even know what is there own anymore, how sad!

This is a great way to train MMA without maximum contact. Not everyone wants to get concussions all the time.
