Taekwondo Revolution of Roundhouse

[Milooszekk]

Muay Thai kicks even when kicking with full hips rotation are faster than this.

[LigerDeath546]

@Milooszekk Ok. Thanks for sharing, although no one asked.

[emulare11]

There are more powerful ways to kick. But who said that power is the only thing that matters? Deception, speed, efficiency, and balance are also important.

[Chandejch]

Where I can get this DVD?

[Bladevampirek]

This Taekwondo Guy is my Favorite To Learn from on Youtube! his Kicks are So Sharp And Technique is so good I Love it!

[youneveri]

nice videos

[mne202001]

I just wish people from all martial arts backgrounds just stop judging each others arts. Find the art or arts that teach what you're interested in and enjoy. If beauty and grace is what you want fine. If effectiveness is what you want that's good too, just stop all the comparisons. Do what you love.

[jagemobe]

@mne202001 some people "love" to draw comparisons, however innocuously, vigorously, or even belligerently. In fact, I wager most people like/love to do this. You are, in effect, trying to tell people to do what YOU love and disregard what they wish to do.

[mne202001]

@jagemobe whatever blows your skirt up

[jagemobe]

@mne202001 lol. stop peeking!

[mne202001]

[ivikas123456789]

too technical for me.these are not physiological positions of body.simply,too mathematical.BTW,are there decent punching techniques in TKD?

[bojan90LOL]

is there any martial art without hand technique? don't think so, just translate the name from korean, tae=leg, kwon=hand/fist ,do=art , skill

[topshonuff]

I think capoeira, but i think it's more dance..

[tipsy700]

do is way, path

the do-s are translated as the way of the

not as the art or the skill of the

budokai-do the way of the warrior

judo, the gentle way

taekwondo the way of the foot (not leg!!) and the fist (kwon means "closed hand" so a fist)

it would be a little bit odd to speak of "the gentle skill", now wouldn't it

besides that i completely agree with you

[RedOctagonStudios]

there are lots of punching, forarm, knifehand etc in TKD. Most people focus on the kicks because they look cooler and seem more difficult. Any real TKD school puts just as much focus on the arms as they do on the legs.

[hulkout666]

I guess there aren't any real TKD schools around then. Because whenever I see TKD tournaments, even at the Olympic level, I never see a single punch thrown. All they ever seem to do is kick and bounce around excessively wasting energy. I've heard that in Asian countries, it's different. It's taught in a more practical way.

[RedOctagonStudios]

you're only seeing sparring. You aren't going to see punches to the nose or bone breaking or anything because sparring is a sport. I know at my school the differences between real life self defense and sparring are very obvious. Sparring has rules, it doesn't matter what school you go to.

[topshonuff]

Thanks to UFC, The Olympics, Mix tournament fighting, and Matrix Movies, there is no more Pure Old School Self Defense Class anymore.. It's all about the money..

[nitronixasd]

@topshonuff not all of them are although I know what you mean though. Some of the clubs that I have seen charge loads and you tend to train in a large class. Im a 3rd Dan and when you get to BB you dont really wish to train with colour belts all the time, no disrespect to them, but there comes a time when you have to push your own limits and those at your level, not those at a level 4 or 5 years your junior. Some instructors are not true to the art, and thats what it is, not a fast buck.

[topshonuff]

I agree on learning with more experience people on Martial Arts.. But, you never know what you learned till you train younger belts under you and then you realize what you learned and what you wanna teach.. Even in Martial Arts, there is BS like Politicians. I stop training cause I just got bored with it, but someday I wanna open my own school. If I won the lottery I would still teach and not charge as much, but just to spread the knowledge of making people a better person..

[GingerSkate7]

look at the itf not the wtf

[veshkeat]

agreed, itf beats wtf (in my opinion). but if u want to learn nothing other than kicks, maybe to add to you other martial arts, then WTF works aswell. Just never rely on it alone for self defence :P I'm combining it with my 5.5 years of judo and 7 years of krav maga, just to improve my kicks and my speed/stamina

[bleepboy0]

olympics TKD is sparring its modifies in such a way that its more of a sport. TKD involves punches and blocks is well.

[XxTaexXxKidxX]

Honestly, but it takes more skill to kick than to punch, but I think Taekwondo should be mixed with 'some type' of boxing style. That's why I train Muay Thai with my Taekwondo, trust me it helps.

[onlisan]

how do u use tae kwon do with muay thai? the stance is difference, u kick with your foot in tae kwon do while in muay thai u kick with your lower shin and their round house kicks are difference. like in muay thai u might step to the side and then pivot your foot and in tae kwon do you would bring it up like a front kick and then twist the body around..really weird

[veshkeat]

so learn to kick both ways. TKD style of kicking gives u reach, MT style breaks ppl. both are good

[cooldudepro]

You adapt your body to the different techniques. The more ways you can use your body, the more well rounded fighter you become. tkd is fast and flashy with the legs, but if its the only thing you do, getting in a street fight can be really dangerous for you.

[izzad98]

TKD does have punching...and grappling...onli for ITF and iim a TKD ITF practitioner..but TKD kicks are the most strongest out of punching and grapling

[billysue2]

@izzad98 it has no grappling thats effective.in other words it doesnt spar with grappling.The punching is also weak due to lack of basic boxing instruction.

[Brockz26]

i agree so much with therealdalailama, all while getting my black belt it was called crescent kick not half moon kick, wtf is that?

[djuanbosco]

yup its crescent kick, half moon??

[therealdalailama]

dont take this as a hate comment or anythin but the new rule and names kinda suck im talking bout when the half moon kick was called a cresent kick and a roundhouse was turning i studied tae kwon do for 7 years of my life and it was rly difficult achiveing 2nd dan if half way through your training all the terms are changed

[HopeYouLOL]

OMG

The differnce between my round house kick is deffirent then this one.

THIS HAS MORE POWER

[felirro]

the angle of the standing foot while performing A roundhouse kick will turn to 170 degrees, right..?

will it become smaller once you execute it twice ( i mean, combination of two roundhouse )..?

[serpentphoenix]

70% water, what about the bones??

[lauratheninja]

never mind , found it.

[lauratheninja]

who are these videos by ? whats the website for them ?

[abahawas]

look at thhe upper right of the vid

[HwarangOfFaith]

seriously... if one knows how to use tkd they can really fuck up somebody... Timing and knowing when to use kicks are probably the most required skill to use tkd in a real fight.

Anyways, tkd guys have one of the most powerful legs ever.

[MarkSamurai5]

they have fast legs too.

[Coolandstressing]

True. Too bad they don't protect their chins properly against punches. Other than that, their leg work is precise.

[irritatedpsycho]

70% foot 30% hands

[Jarek1909]

@irritatedpsycho Wasn't that 95% legs 5% hands ?

[ERIKTHECOP]

well some schools teach 90% foot 10% fist some 70% foot 30 %fist.

and some 60%foot 40%fist witch they teach u how to counter with both the fist and the foot . every tkd school/club can teach u diffrent techiniques.

[brooklypark]

thats why if TKD were use agaisnt a good boxer.... boxing wins because all you do is rush the TKD fighter and TKD fighter needs space to do the crazy foot works!

[Squinndesusama]

lol

[VicTricks]

Actually I think muay thai practioners have stronger kicks and are more agressive. I'm a blackbelt in taekwondo myself but I admit think it's used practical for sport now since hand techniques are often neglected in training. I still think you can easily defend with taekwondo though. Just more of a one hit one kill ideology I think.

[elzytacogelona]

I think that you are not a good tae kwon do practioner, If you are bad in TKD you will bad in other martial art.

[VicTricks]

@elzytacogelona Huh? Where did that come from? IDK who you are but you obviosly like to take advantage of the fact that I can't confront you personally. You cowards never know what you're talking and you have no idea what martial arts is about. Just in case:

Chamo eres un cobarde. Solo son usteded Mexicanos o latinos que les gusta mostrar envidia de otros. Mejor manten tu boca callado. ;)

[qubiq3]

@HwarangOfFaith TKD has amazing kicks for competition! it's one thing to throw kicks with a dobog , another with your outside dress like jeans. I know people saying they have no problem with (high-)kicking in jeans.

I personally destroyed about 20 pants by trying again and again...but I NEVER would throw a kick upside the hips in a real danger situation. What if he catch my legs? What if I get out balanche and go to the ground?

if you feel save with kicking, it's good!

I honestly don't...

[dokkiro]

@HwarangOfFaith South Koreans tested pro soccer players vs pro TKD fighters who can kick soccer balls harder. Soccer players won.

[fungoli]

@dokkiro not really the same motion do you think? Who do you think could kick a target or a paddle harder?

[dokkiro]

@fungoli please read the comment above and define powerful legs for me. Because I cannot define powerful legs.

[terminalninja]

Chuck Norris.

[munatours]

Thanks for all the vdos you shared with us. I love your vdos 'coz they give the best lessons. The best vdos for TKD ever!!

[navrtcz]

Goood, all your videos are from best what i seen.

[maizygrace]

The models in these videos are awesome - I love watching how they hold and repeat the kicks in slo-mo. Awesome balance. Great graphics for body alignment, too. My side kicks are pretty so-so right now; I need to fix my alignment and strengthen my hips.

[southbest05]

that is the basic one but when u keep on kicking your kicks go fast and it looks like ur kicks a very smooth

[altroval]

Funny how even simple relatively simple kicks have their variations...

I have always been told to bring the back hip forward before raising the knee/pivoting around on the ball of the front foot.

And I'm pretty sure this is what the instructor is actually doing.

[StL33T]

great explanation but in the demo, the guy always step b4 he kicks - a very very bad habbit

[Daeron15]

omg and the water explanation was just retarded... in the human body there are muscles that can bruise, nerves that can paralyze and bones that can break!! you freakin koreans need some Basic Biology classes... geez

[ogicabp4u]

If you want to pierce through an object which is more effective in your opinion; A Drill (with a turning Force) or a Hammer (No turning force) ? 1.Force Equal Pressure over Area..2.Force Equals Mass times Acceleration. Combine the Two and you have a very effective Weapon.

Talking about water Behind a Plasic Sheet is merely a way of explaining things using Metaphors and Similies to make the 'information' easier to absorb for the non scientifically minded.

[StL33T]

yes but a drill has a smaller surface area than a hammer, therefore supporting your statement. BUT even if u rotate ur fist it will have the same surface area as a fist that has not been rotated

[peonix666]

that is y u will never understand martial arts

[ogicabp4u]

I am a taekwondo instructor in South Korea.

[aakside]

that was a very good explanation

[ogicabp4u]

Thank you.

[perbulouse]

I will say as well that I don't like returning back to the original stance. I like being agressive and stepping foward into another stance. Most of the times people are stepping back anyways or looking to counter with a kick. By stepping in I can take advantage and make it into a boxing match for a few seconds. the only downside is if they decide to trap and throw... hey, nothings full prof. You make the best call I guess. Works for me.

[Nonrad]

I totally agree.

[deguimeraUSA]

Deffinately, a frontal momentum leads to followups and combos; hit and run athletes don't make it to the big time all the time.

[XD4133]

i find i can be aggressive when i go back as well XD dun think going back means you losing power. XD i go using a spinning hook after going back so even thought they might jump forward thinking im weakening myself im generating power by using the same leg XD.

[Dararith]

There's a HUGE difference between what you do during competition and what you do for demonstration/poomse purposes (as seen in this video), both of which has advantages/disadvantages.

[TKDChamp7707]

this is a turning kick! not a round house kick! this is just a waist of time!!!

[snizshizzle]

Whats the difference.... I'm a noob.

[Jeice3065]

Well for one i don't know what a turning kick is 2 this is actually a roundhouse. It's called a rear leg round house cause the rear leg is kicking. You don't really turn you pivet the front foot dude above you is a dumbazz.

[Jeice3065]

Wait i just realized it's like saying a snap punch and a jab there basically is no diff.

[deguimeraUSA]

According to you, so was English class.

[bosikad]

Hey, that was the mountain storm kick of YawYan!

[liviacamposfpa]

ueba!

agora eu vou aprender a ARTE SUPREMA!!!

uehauehuaehuehuae

musica do matrix... vish!

[ronniedeenwho]

All this talk of power and speed. It doesn't matter what art you practice; if you are inefficient you are inefficient. You could be really fast in Muay thai but shite with power, it depends on the student. However, how the tae kwon do practitioner in this vid intends to put any power into that kick I don't know.

[perbulouse]

The power is coming from the ground. Its meant to create as much pain and damage as efficiently as possible. I studied Muai thai for a while and it seems to be about the same to me as the way TK is teaching. Its like a how a golfer swings... he uses his hips. At first it takes practice and its weak, but I really do like this approach to kicking cause after you get use to it you are kicking strong a fast with very little effort.

[yitmehmung]

buakaw could beast all of u

[looneysolidsnake]

doesn't it just look like the side kick?

[yiruinn]

no!!

[tae0mo]

chuck norris??..huh??

[Nemesis0703]

Chuck Norris will be proud

[29622]

Agreed. While power is important, it is useless if you can't hit with it which is one major benifit of TKD kicks -- they have enough power to do damage (maybe not as much as kickboxing), but the speed more than makes up for it.

[somuee]

i agree that muaythai has very powerful roundhouses, but as someone who trained many years in tkd and then muaythai/kickboxing, i can tell you there's a trade-off... very few people could tag me with those powerful kicks since they were slower than i was used to and easy to avoid, rendering them utterly useless.

[typeking]

Taekwondo has the best kicks in martial art. If any Taekwondo practioners land good solid kick. You be knocked out for good solid 5 hours.

[geodesicks]

balls. muay thai has the most powerful kicks, especially round-houses. the power there comes largely from the snapping of the core muscles which are far stronger than the snapping of the quads. its different dynamics and a whole new level of power.

[ogicabp4u]

actually your wrong...but not entirely. The most powerful KICK in Martial arts is the Back Kick in TaeKwondo. However, the most powerful leg attack (by a significant amount) is the Turning Knee Strike to the lower Abdomen in Muay Thai. Howevr this can very easily be countered with a turning Back Kick! ;)~

[Daeron15]

Scientifically, the most powerful kick is the Muay Thai Roundhouse kick and you are right about the knee strike is Muay thai´s most powerful leg attack but i dont see how you can counter a knee strike with a back kick there just too little space to do it the TKD back kick is perfect for countering the Muay thai front kick though i always see it happening to the point i would never use it against a TKD fighter...

[ogicabp4u]

Daeron15 , scientifically , according to discovery channel (where they actually had computers model several different martial artists) TKD Back Kick STRONGEST KICK; MT Knee Strike STRONGEST STRIKE IN ANY FORM. and being a practicioner (although a novice one) at Mauy Thai and a TKD instructor in Korea I would tend to agree with this. You have to use effective footwork to counter at close range with a back kick or similar.

[guiltybystander77]

i agree.

the round house is powerful but a back kick with the whole body behind it is always going to be more powerful

[Yakshinian]

great tutorial!

[Panzerfaust26]

i LOVE that alternative roundhouse, that smashes downwards, but ive never found a tutorial on it. thanx big time.

[Jucaoma]

nice, TY 4 upload this videop

PAZ Y RESPETO !!

[X3cut4]

Download it yourself and put it on youtube with your better sound, DraconvsBlade!

[kai81loong]

[29622]

Find one way that it isn't as it has already been proven that it is much more effective.

[flameonme]

idk if its more effective then just street fighting -_-'

[JeevunGhareeb21]

[kepundengz2003]

If you want the top quality visual then go and get the original DVD set own your own, RETARD!!!

[axeman702]
