2004 - 2008 Olympic Tae Kwon Do Highlights

[xNAJAFx]

i thougt points werent given if you hit the vest but fall afterwards.

those were the rules when i competed in my younger years.

i see many examples when they "fall" not to get countered.

correct me if im wrong.

best taekwondo video I have seen... love their doubles and triples, I lean back too much. any tips anyone??

[FlippinAzn249]

@OBrien19 Its ok to lean back a little because it takes a lot of weight off your legs to switch legs to kick but to help with that try to keep your head forward and instead of using your upper body so much to do doubles or triples etc try to switch from the hips faster.

08:06 hope she washed her feet before the match. Otherwise it would have been human right violation.

[FlippinAzn249]

@cys12141 LOL yea it sucks to get a foot in the face especially when your mouth is open

[oliveKos]

I didn't know they did marial arts in Olympics! :O As awesome as that would be, I don't think I would want to be a part of that. Then who could I protects myself from? I'd be protected by body guards and crap all the time :P

[FlippinAzn249]

@oliveKos Hahaha i think as long as you weren't an evil fighter you won't be hunted down

[oliveKos]

@FlippinAzn249 True, true..

[FlippinAzn249]

@oliveKos Haha but girls in this sport are crazy so since you are a girl i don't think you will be off the hook so easily. And also i see you are part of the AUDIENCE!! lol this channel i have is just for martial arts and etc but if you want to check out my other channel its ESFBros249

2010 rules. Black belt and possibly other age groups are allowed to punch and if done correctly and seen by the judges will merit the puncher 1 point.

But it all depends on if the judges want to give you the point. So you really got to make it look good.

[FlippinAzn249]

@Nexgcs oh cool, well maybe now sparring will change a little bit again haha. Every time a new rule is changed or made the sparring changes

[SkyThunder]

@FlippinAzn249 and @Nexgcs

The 1 point punch only applies to the chest. One intended punch to the head will result in a deduction penalty.

But I doubt anyone would actually aim for a punching point ._.

[FlippinAzn249]

@SkyThunder haha well i guess it will be incorporated into combos lol

[Nater245689]

They don't punch....?

[FlippinAzn249]

@Nater245689 There are punches, the only thing is that they dont count as points. So if someone punches it usually follows up with a kick. This is also just competition sparring, but it doesn't mean there aren't punches. Most studios do not teach punching much besides from the horse stance. So to learn punching in tkd you will have to find a studio that teaches that. Also in korea a lot of tkd practitioners do boxing as well because of the lack of punching in tkd
