korean? a lot of Russian speech in the background. Also, I'd say their dependence on the front leg is very WTF-ish, but I guess that's a matter of personal preference.
ITF is no better than WTF in that it is NOT realistic fighting. The fighters have their hands down and do a lot of feet switching, something which wouldn't be good in a real right.
dude do you have any understanding of taekwondo at all? and particularly sparring? no need to state the obvious that their techniques are bad for real fighting, sparring is a sport!!! and the competitors have low guard to try and coach the other fighter into an attack that they can easily counter, or so thats the plan. SPARRING side of taekwondo and SELF DEFENCE side of taekwondo, are different okay.
of course sparring isnt the best for fighting, neither is tennis, football, swimming or any other SPORT arent good for fighting scenarios. so many people with so little understanding.
ummmm woot? i understand that competition fighting isn't really practical in this style but your still learning how to read peoples body language and movement which would work in a one on one street confrontation but obviously wouldn't really work in a bar situation. but wat dos tennis football or swimming have to do with it. just because this is sport fighting dosnt mean it shouldn't be able to work bcos boxing UFC K1 max are sports but they i think would do well in a fighting scenario
yes your right. i'm just saying that sparring isnt intended for street fighting, hence its not menta be good for self defence because it doesnt have to be. because the actual self defence side of tkd is for that. but yer your right about ufc etc.
Still, believe it or not I would hypothesize that sparring would be a little bit useful for fighting compared to being able to do tennis, football, and swimming don't you think?
haha ye that'd be so awsum. or at least another style of sparring where u can (as you said) do any taekwondo technique at all, and maybe then show people more of the self defence side. but at the same time, i love (WTF) sparring jus the way it is =) tho options for otha stuff wudnt hurt
yeh yeh look i respect your art and all and its still good, but like i'm not seeing the passion in sparring. and what is control without power? nothing. look at it this way, would you rather fight a fire with a water pistol and be dead acurate, or be a little more off and have a fire truck? know what i'd rather.
well if my art is a "water pistol" and your art is a "fire truck".. Than a water pistol is obviously more effective than a fire truck. every itf v wtf match i have ever seen = wtf guy owned. I'm sorry but at the end of the day control is a lot better than power because to have control you have to have more power than if you just went wild in the first place. Its called conditioning. and it makes itf practitioners more powerful. Wtf has speed not power.
i dont know but, when its itf vs wtf, i bet its itf rules.... and i am going to say they are both equal excpet sparring is alot different. and u claim we are un accurate etc etc when we are just as accurate only we have full contact sparring. and maybe it seems out of control to you but its just faster paced
WTF kicks are somewhat faster (they snap the kicks, after all) but the ITF kicks are considerably more powerful.
Muay Thai kicks have nothing on properly-executed ITF kicks where power is concerned. It does, however, take a great deal of strength and technical training to execute the ITF TK-D kicks, as shown here.
Well in my ITF class we also snap out our kicks, but we also use the rotation of the body in coordination with that snapping, which produces the power from swinging the leg like in muay thai, but also the muscular power from snapping out the leg.
first fight ... misss miss miss tap tap miss got a punch run away miss.... BOOM HEADSHOT

well at least in WTF we dont get point deductions for "hitting them too hard" lol.
i mean its a fight come on.. lame much?
on tha up side i do think its cool in ITF how u can use backfist techniques, so not all bad
rickstar3211 3 years ago
yeah true
it would be soo good if they make new rules on sparring like anything goes except taking down and grabbing

rickstar3211 3 years ago
yeah WTF parring is good
but where i train my master wont let us hit in the head :/ it sux =(
he dosent want us to get hurt but styll its soo boring. He wants us to learn how to K.O without hitting the head.

ITF is all about control and being able to win without going crazy. Something you probably wouldnt understand.
