Taekwondo Martial Arts Basics : How to Punch in Taekwondo Martial Arts

[ccslax6]

lol punching in taekwondo

[MasterNinja1990]

This is my favorite martial art exercise!

[neutrino78x]

ok, basically if you saw an ITF TKD punch in a fight and/or sparring it would look just like a boxer's punch. what you see here is for forms, spiritual practice etc. a punch is a punch, be it Jeet Kune Do, Taekwondo, Karate or Muay Thai. No one suggests that to punch in ITF TKD you would go into horse stance. ((roll eyes)) @ people who have never studied TKD

[katukomal]

ninjitsu my ass!

[callofduty4rocks132]

i thought that was the sitting stance

[de0509]

@callofduty4rocks132 that is probably used for training. instead of just training the arms, you get to toughen up your hips and legs. kill 2 birds with 1 stone

[jayjay8018]

man i'd kick that dude right in the balls EYYY...HII YA!!!!

[dima093432]

Hhahahahahahahahaha....what a useless way to punch!

[EnemyRCA]

if oyu were in martial arts you wouldnt say that..its a simple way to explain a god stance you numb nuts

[dima093432]

Hi EnemyRCA,

i assume you are taking TaekWonDo. In my opinion a practical aspect of this martial art lies solely in having a physical workout. As a tool to fighting TaekWonDo is greatly lacking when compared to Mauy Thai, Boxing, Kickboxing, MMA, ect... Power in ur punches comes from pivoting your hips and transferring energy along the kinetic chain of your body into your first as you extend your arm. As you see in this video, this technique is absent. It is a poor way to train for a fight!

[EnemyRCA]

IF im not mistaking MMA is a compition between mixes of martial arts its not a martial art itself on top of it i take Ninjitsu And TKD. Im 2nd degree black belt in both of the arts

[darkarm3rocks]

kool im a green belt in ninjitsu

[EnemyRCA]

cool isnt it, hard to learn for newbies lol

[privateer456]

@dima093432 I'm not defending tkd but the stances this guy shows are only used in tkd forms and exercises, not in actually sparring.

[neutrino78x]

@dima093432 you are incorrect, ITF TKD very much teaches "full hip rotation", as they called it at our studio.

[davic14]

lol now you know why Taekwando uses mostly kicks

[jpisfresh]

bad technique .. nobody will punch like that in a real street fight

[Lookpastthelie]

TKD was made to kick samurais off horses, not to fight in a ring.

[tyebo87]

no it wasnt if you look up TKD history you wont find anything about kicking people off of horses.

[bdu00245]

Poor punching technique. Most definitly has not mastered it!!!!!!

[JCSAP123]

tkd is useless in punching. in tkd, you cant punch your opponent on head. thats why you often see tkd fighter with guard down. they emphasize so much on kicking. so in actual fight, useless unless your one of those hard out tkd fighter

[HwarangOfFaith]

you're talking about sports tae kwon do then... there are many styles of tkd where you can punch them in the head. and that's not why you see tkd fighter with guard down, it's because kick and punches can come from all direction. but i agree with u in that tkd punching as seen in this video = highly impractical. And i agree to u in an extent that they should keep their guard up when they're in range. But u'll see most of them trying to evade attack by using their feet than to block.

[viciousKev]

im sure you have a strong punch, but you dont have any leverage cause i thought you have to have your foot behind you for power

[ahobbit0011]

good thing he's a master instructor *pause* in martial arts...

and he can teach us how to move our arms simuNtaneously....

[zinkadesh]

lol thank you for pointing that out! HAHAHAHA

[ironsheik7]

karate master is leaving himself open for a kick to the balls ! lmao

[kegdowg66]

karatie is for faggits

[The1stJesusMachine]

God I remember this from when I used to do TKD... Most impractical martial art ever... Ive just started Muay Thai and BJJ... SOOO much better and so much more usefull

[NeoShadow617]

good for you dude

[HwarangOfFaith]

ehhh tkd can be practical and impractical depending on the fighter. i gotta say, if u're not smart, like more than half the technique in tae kwon do = uber useless, but there are few, yet HIGHLY effective kicks in tae kwon do that can really be used in a fight. I took boxing and tae kwon do and mixing the two together strenghtens each other's weaknesses and it's pretty solid. but i agree, OVERALL muay thai is probably one of the BEST martial art out there. I'm planning to study muay t and JJ

[HwarangOfFaith]

and the reason why tae kwon do seems so impractical is because how it was created, TKD was a martial art where there were no room confinements aka, rings. I mean there WERE but they were MUCH bigger. Muay thai fighter fighting a TKD fighter on a LARGE ring = he wont have many chances to throw elbows and knees. TKD is a pretty defensive and evasive form of martial art, i have confidence using tkd in a big room for fights.

[Qjayer]

HAHAHAHAHAHA "dont forget to yell on impact"

lmfao

[mfcshrimp]

Holy Crap its a ghost

[Xerox20077]

this sucks

you cant do this in a fight

[fearlessjt]

u can do it in a fight but just remember fighting isnt neat it random unlike fighting in movies n all that

[Xerox20077]

i know thats what i mean

your cant squat and start punching like that in a real fight

[fearlessjt]

oh? my bad

[MartialArtsMeta]

the purpose is to teach a basic technique, not to show you how to punch in a fight.

[Xerox20077]

well then what is the point of training to do martial arts if your not going to be in combat.

[MartialArtsMeta]

clearly you are not a Martial Artist.....

once you learn more then you learn how to fight and incorporate the lessons. it would be like saying, what is the point of learning the alphabet if it doesn't teach you how to read. you need to know what the individual words are before you can put together a word.

[MartialArtsMeta]

*individual letters.... not words.... you get the point though

[Xerox20077]

yes i know why. but i didnt see the point in teaching a punch that would be useless in combat. because martial arts where first invented as a form of self defense (karate for example)

[MartialArtsMeta]

yes, but to learn how to make a good punch in a fighting situation, you first have to learn the basic mechanics. then as all the noobs can manage that they are shown more complex techniques that make it effective for a fight.

[Cegoninho]

Pankration is awesome ^^

read about it at wikipedia :D
