I do TKD as well and i train for punching,bobbing and weaving on a heavy bag out of class.we do punches..but not as much as i would like.You must know punching as well as kicking..but i love TKD all the same.
For Taekwondo> The kicks are widely accepted and thats why its the most popular martial arts of over 60million people training. We do train arms but the fact we use our kicks most of the time is probably our weakness
Naw naw.... Maybe to other arts Taekwondo is in practical but if some dude is chargng at you, and you kick him in his face.... He won't be charging anymore.
All you people talk about honour and spirit but if you need to defend yourself on the street what do you do? Theres no honour on the street you do what you have to do to survive or what ever the situation calls for. Thats way ive been taught in JKD for 17yrs and is has not let me down yet!
Doing any sort of high kick in a crowded bar or a club isn't practical, any smart Taekwondo practitioner should know that. What you see in this video is the competition side of Taekwondo, not the actual self-defense side.
You should watch who you call dumbshit it might come back on you one day. If you cant take a bit of criticism dont look at the videos. I find taekwondo quite useless as i did it for a while. Like Bruce said "boards dont hit back".
Actually i instruct muay thai and do JKD i believe in a lot of what Sifu Bruce said and his philosiphy on the arts you should read some of his books. Im entitled to my opinion as is everyone!! I respect all martial arts just not a fan of TKD.
tea kwon do is fine an all but the kicks r toooooo high for my taste i myslef is a muay boran fighter i use my elbows an knees mor then i kick high kicks leave u open =\
this ain't the spirit of MA... those guys that fight... this is not an Art. Art is something beautiful. This is for animals! They put them is a cell and expect them to kill each other. Where do you see the spirit in beating someone, who's laying on the ground???
there is an art in UFC, and mma in general.. it is beautiful, but msaybe you dont see it. what you se ein highlights is the most violent aspects of mma.. but if youwere o watch a whole fight, you may learn to appreciate mma for the art for that it is
i agree wit alot of ppl here... martial arts does teach violence.... however.... a true martial artists chooses non violence.... by fighting the enemy that is within himself... he surpasses his limits.... martial arts is a way of life..... it teaches honor, integrity, and respect....
I agree, even muay thai teaches that you have to fight two people in the ring, first you need to defeat yourself through rigorous training and dicipline and only then are you ready to defeat your opponent in the ring. But being buddhist I support the Dalai Lama's view that if you kill an opponent then your only kill a corpse because we are all destined to die, so the only way to be victorious is to gain victory over out negative emtions
I specialyze in Snake and Leopard Form, And i walk my tao as a Snake.. U dont get to know somebody until u fight him.. And im not just talking of punches and kicks..
Here is the order I teach in....To defeat an opponent 10% of your training and usually takes about a yr, literally just basic boxing, kick boxing and Wing Chun, then 90% to defeat your ego and yourself, Animal forms and Shaolin weapons training.
Think of it this way, lets say you fight 10% of your life, what does that leave 90%? Character building is what you'll do with the last 90%. Being a better human being this is where shaolin surpasses MMA. But in a fight they'd beat a lot of martial artist out there, because thats all they do is train to fight, we train to fight ourselves and that my friends is a lot harder. It is said to defeat an enemy only need force to defeat the self you need enlightenment.
"The Man who fight a fight its just the man who is fighting it"
In the fights u talk about, There are martial artist, and also there are not.. U cant call a martial artist by his style or for what u see about him..
Its a way to face life, on my opinion, an attitude..
Srry if i miss spelled something, im from argentina...
Martial arts were made to counter agression in a more efficent manner. Ur right when u explain the spiritual valor, But in the way i undestand the Martial arts, U cant be called a " martial artist " and to not use violence, thats the easy way to do it.. The Martial arts Combine The spiritual way with the use of violence, Thats the difference between for example a Boxer and a Shaolin Master.
i see your point! but don't you see the difference between, for example taekwon do and many of the scenes that you have put in this video. now tell me - what do you understand when you hear the word "violence". explain and we will talk. i don't want to argue, i'm talking with you as a normal person...
violence?? fighting, intentionally causing pain of damage physically. what is in the video is the sport side of taekwondo. yes theres more to it, and yes i do see the diffrence between art and sport sides of tkd.
man... all i see is violence. half of the scenes are no martial arts, but only bumping, jumping and punching. most martial arts are DEFENDING SYSTEMS. every move is in harmony with the other one that fallows and the previous which passed. there is very much violence in that video. martial arts isn't being able to beat somebody, but to be calm in every situation, to achieve perfection, to rise spiritually. to be in harmony with yourself, with the other around you.
youre wrong my friend. martial arts is all about violence. look up the word "MARTIAL" if you dont trust me. sure you can defend yourself by using it, and thats just the modern excuse to leard martial arts. they say that to parents of little kids just to get them started. but in the end, martial arts is violoce.. weather its self defence or not.
Hey, there is no such thing as one MA thats better than another, its about the spirit of the fighter that manifests the martial art. Those bunch of goons are great fighters, they'd kick my butt any day and I'm a Sifu in shaolin Kung fu. Thats from someone who studied for a long time, Simplicity is what works. Great respect for TKD, it can be an amazing art.
all you ppl bitch about tkd an all the other stuff an say i do this an i do that an its alot better than somethin else i do a whole mix of martial arts (trying to be a mma fighter) an i like them all there is no better one there all gd its not about the style its how u use it i like this video all of it
lol its funny that its title spirit of martial arts when for the the last 4 minutes ive watch a video of a bunch of goons kicking the shit out of other beautifully soundtracked by eminem, goes perfect with the true spirit of martial arts huh....
sop yapping and ma bashing, i do kickboxing,kung fu and taekwondo, and i tried karate when i was younger,this video hardly any taekwondo in it so i dont know why thats the topic between yous, its the artist,not the art, any1 who decides how good an ma is by watching forms/patterns/katas is a gimp, a kick in the face is a kick in the face it doesnt matter if its korean,chinese,thai,american,british,japanese etc its still gonna hurt
dont you just like no it all nothings like runfree. what about giving it a go instead of dissing it im sure youd love to take a couple of them kicks to you head.
i did tae kwon do for a while, it was a load of shit. it all relies flexibility and on the opponent being a skinny korean. karate, kung-fu, have INNER power, and when that hits you.. you feel it - inside. If you want to rely on brute force to specific areas.. then muy thai is much better, especially at cutting the opponent. a muy thai fighter is much more balanced all around than a TKD fighter, if you want to call it that. Its more of leg-fencing.
Yo fuck wit. Your saying Taekwon-do is 100% bullshit, but Karate is 100% succesful, thats contradicting your self, Taekwon-do is 50% Karate. And you dont learn the self defense stuff until your more experienced. And Koreans might be skinny, but i have use on 17st fat bastards and won, And General Choi was not exactly skinny, not fat, but not skinny ( hes the founder btw) And i also practice Aikido (only for two weeks tho.) And besides, i like it it dont matter if u do
if tkd is done correctly, then its very effective. what you study doesnt matter. the person matters. the reason of one's success in a fight is because one artist is better. not the art.
all martial arts lead to the same thing. look at the entire lesson of martial arts. theyre not teaching you how to fight. theyre teaching you nonviolence.
try to learn more about the arts before running your mouth off about stuff you pbviously dont know about.
and Tae Kwon Do isn't a martial art, its a piece of shit, just like most Korean people. Boxing is more of a martial art. Flash over substance gets you fans like these morons who posted before me, but so what? And girls can't and shouldn't fight. There are plenty of other sports they could do.
hmm. nah man... tkd is a martial arts and sport. what you see in the vid is just sport. the martial art of tkd is also much more realistic fighting style. thats like saying basketball is fake cuz you can t fight with it
i searched 'itf tae kwon do' on youtube and watched the first video. ya the song is great but its positively the gayest thing i've seen in my life. how is that fighting!? or sport!? there are thousands of sports to choose from.. if you do tae kwon do because you're bored or fat, then fine do it, but don't you dare try fighting with it or anyone will kick your ass. koreans cannot do anything right especially sport.
I don't see what your point is - that judo is better than TKD? In that case I agree. Listen you can spend 10years of your life learning TKD, or you can spend it learning a real martial art. It's your choice. Karate, Jui-jitsu, Muy Thai, Jeet Kun Do, etc. Those have techniques which you can defend yourself with from besides small, frail opponents that will go down with a sidekick to the chest.
And Taekwon-do has inner power, if its real taekwon-do you feel thgrough your body. Why do you think they breathe out while punchg and kicking? its draw power from your inner body. Do your homework you stupid moron
The best is learning as many skills as you can ofcourse but you'd be an idiot if you spent more than 1 year on tkd and didn't move on to more advanced arts. Its like still riding your bike with training wheels when you're already 15 years old. if you want to see real amazing self defense look up aikido
Raymond Dekker.. LOLOLOL.. Is Rammon Deker.. One of the best ever in Muay Thai.. Actually the best is Puramuk.. No doubt.. And Muay Thai is the martial art more coplete of all.. The best! Just for men.. No space for dancers (taekwondo)!
y de echo el taekwondo (wtf,ata) (no itf) no es un deporte de contacto sino de resistencia o de reflejos un taekwondista wtf no va a estar peleando como lo hacen en las olimpiadas si esta en vale todo fijate
para empezar lo que dije yo al principio es que este estilo llamado TAEKWONDO no es el mas efectivo, pero toda la gente piensa que lo es y por eso todos lo practican, el TANG SOO DO, el cual yo practico, te puedo decir que tiene mejor uso en la calle que el TAEKWONDO
pero sirve mas el karate que el taekwondo, a ver, si has ido a torneos te puedes dar cuenta que no los mezclan a los del karate con los del taekwondo, porque los del TKD solo usan las patas, por eso los karatekas los harian mierda, ademas de q usan protector en el cuerpo, eso es de culones, me la pelan
this fucking video is all about the fucking pussy taekwondo, fuck i hate it, they just throw the kids and they end on the floor and then they feel like if they were the big shit, TKD is jut a fucking sport of shit, i doubt they can stand a chance with me in the street
Decent video, but why do all these have such crappy music. It's all a bunch of punk ass whiney bitch rappers with the ass kickin' videos - how about some tough music to go with the beatdowns? Metal would work much better
The arts of Mars, aka Martial Arts are a military art, not a competetive one... therefore this is NOT the spirit of martial arts. This is the USE we gave them, but is by no means the spirit... -.-
its till i collapse by eminem. a REAL good song when i work out at my tkd dojang. o, n speaking of the spirit of martial arts. for every1 who has posted and said that tkd is weak, remember respect. a navy seal could use a pistol and a redneck could have a shotgun. who would win? the dude with the stronger gun? or the dude who has mastered his weapon?
excelent compilation of ppl getting knocked down by kicks. video should be named "if you think kicks aren't useful, watch this and STFU". there is one kick about 3:40 into the video where the kick is so powerful it lifted the mofo off the dam ground.
It's a good video Hayk, but the spirit of martial arts isn't competition. It is bettering your self, physically and mentally. This is the commercial form. I do think that competition is good to know your flaws and strengths, but it's not right to say that aperson has more "spirit" just because they beat someone in sparring. You shouldn't learn martial arts to say you are strong, you should learn it for protection, and to protect others that need it.
the clip og the guy breathing in and out was a " dont do drugs commercia". he gets ready, tries to break a board but the board spins and hits him in the face :P
no martial arts basically means, Martial, means power of defense, and art means style or the finesse of, so martial arts literally means, "art of defense"
its an ok video...except i dont agree that UFC is part of the "spirit of martial arts"...martial arts has philosophy and creed behind it. that's just knocking each other senseless. not to say i dont find it fun as hell to watch.
on top of that, it doesn't matter what people say about tkd kicks or whatever...if you're good at what it is you're doing...you can find a way to put it to use in the right situation. each martial art has its own style and i think its best to be well-rounded
I don't agree that TKD is junk. It is impressive and nothing is the end all, be all. The underlined element in the song is correct, it's about who the student is not the Martial art.
For you dumbasses, Bruce Lee's kick isn't TKD. You think a TKD kick could knock a 300lb bag to the ceiling? That's what Bruce did. And it's not TKD. Just a sidekick. Geez.
As for TKD/Sport shit, it's a martial art. You predjudice jerks say shit about it, when only part of it is true. For schools that only train to compete, I'd call that a sport. But there's original TKD schools that are dedicated to practical self-defense.
You guys might hate TKD, well keep it to yourself. If you think MMA/UFC is the ultimate martial art, hooray for you. In the end, it doesn't matter which martial art is shit, because it's an OPINION. And guess what?
agree with you... UFC is competition anyway, though one, but competition... try to grab someone with a pole, a stick or a knife like that, and you're dead. Try to kick them and you're dead too...
and in a real fight you carry around a pole or knife? But then again - it's always a pretty one sided fight when one person has a weapon (and they know how to use it) and the other doesn't - regardless of if they are MMA, TKD, Aikido, Kendo, Karate, Wrestling, Kung Fu, Sambo, Muay Tai or whatever!
TKD, originally, was bad-ass. XD Now, it's mostly a sport or a flashy kicking art.
Find a good MMA gym. There's nothing like almost knocking someone unconscious, then picking them up and dropping them on a table, and choking 'em halfway to death. =D
yea is has been turnned into a gay sport. its realy impresive though. iv done a few martial arts and i found it very usefull trainning for kicks. wich are usefull in fighting, i dont care wat anyone says.

i searched 'itf tae kwon do' on youtube and watched the first video. ya the song is great but its positively the gayest thing i've seen in my life. how is that fighting!? or sport!? there are thousands of sports to choose from.. if you do tae kwon do because you're bored or fat, then fine do it, but don't you dare try fighting with it or anyone will kick your ass. koreans cannot do anything right especially sport.

ITF Taekwon-do self defense second video down

I don't see what your point is - that judo is better than TKD? In that case I agree. Listen you can spend 10years of your life learning TKD, or you can spend it learning a real martial art. It's your choice. Karate, Jui-jitsu, Muy Thai, Jeet Kun Do, etc. Those have techniques which you can defend yourself with from besides small, frail opponents that will go down with a sidekick to the chest.

And Taekwon-do has inner power, if its real taekwon-do you feel thgrough your body. Why do you think they breathe out while punchg and kicking? its draw power from your inner body. Do your homework you stupid moron
martialartsdestroyer 4 years ago
Yes Judo is better- in specific areas anyway. At throws TKD cant rival it. But they have to getclose enough to throw you in the first place.
martialartsdestroyer 4 years ago
The best is learning as many skills as you can ofcourse but you'd be an idiot if you spent more than 1 year on tkd and didn't move on to more advanced arts. Its like still riding your bike with training wheels when you're already 15 years old. if you want to see real amazing self defense look up aikido

pero sirve mas el karate que el taekwondo, a ver, si has ido a torneos te puedes dar cuenta que no los mezclan a los del karate con los del taekwondo, porque los del TKD solo usan las patas, por eso los karatekas los harian mierda, ademas de q usan protector en el cuerpo, eso es de culones, me la pelan

Why is it called the spirit of martial arts? It's just a bunch of random martial art footage with a really poor song (in my opinion) played over it.

The arts of Mars, aka Martial Arts are a military art, not a competetive one... therefore this is NOT the spirit of martial arts. This is the USE we gave them, but is by no means the spirit... -.-

its till i collapse by eminem. a REAL good song when i work out at my tkd dojang. o, n speaking of the spirit of martial arts. for every1 who has posted and said that tkd is weak, remember respect. a navy seal could use a pistol and a redneck could have a shotgun. who would win? the dude with the stronger gun? or the dude who has mastered his weapon?

It's a good video Hayk, but the spirit of martial arts isn't competition. It is bettering your self, physically and mentally. This is the commercial form. I do think that competition is good to know your flaws and strengths, but it's not right to say that aperson has more "spirit" just because they beat someone in sparring. You shouldn't learn martial arts to say you are strong, you should learn it for protection, and to protect others that need it.

its an ok video...except i dont agree that UFC is part of the "spirit of martial arts"...martial arts has philosophy and creed behind it. that's just knocking each other senseless. not to say i dont find it fun as hell to watch.
on top of that, it doesn't matter what people say about tkd kicks or whatever...if you're good at what it is you're doing...you can find a way to put it to use in the right situation. each martial art has its own style and i think its best to be well-rounded

I don't agree that TKD is junk. It is impressive and nothing is the end all, be all. The underlined element in the song is correct, it's about who the student is not the Martial art.

Why don't all of you just enjoy the damn video?
For you dumbasses, Bruce Lee's kick isn't TKD. You think a TKD kick could knock a 300lb bag to the ceiling? That's what Bruce did. And it's not TKD. Just a sidekick. Geez.
As for TKD/Sport shit, it's a martial art. You predjudice jerks say shit about it, when only part of it is true. For schools that only train to compete, I'd call that a sport. But there's original TKD schools that are dedicated to practical self-defense.
TakutoTurk 5 years ago
You guys might hate TKD, well keep it to yourself. If you think MMA/UFC is the ultimate martial art, hooray for you. In the end, it doesn't matter which martial art is shit, because it's an OPINION. And guess what?
NO ONE CARES.

agree with you... UFC is competition anyway, though one, but competition... try to grab someone with a pole, a stick or a knife like that, and you're dead. Try to kick them and you're dead too...
sagagossard 5 years ago
and in a real fight you carry around a pole or knife? But then again - it's always a pretty one sided fight when one person has a weapon (and they know how to use it) and the other doesn't - regardless of if they are MMA, TKD, Aikido, Kendo, Karate, Wrestling, Kung Fu, Sambo, Muay Tai or whatever!

TKD, originally, was bad-ass. XD Now, it's mostly a sport or a flashy kicking art.
Find a good MMA gym. There's nothing like almost knocking someone unconscious, then picking them up and dropping them on a table, and choking 'em halfway to death. =D
