Olympic Taekwondo Back Kick

[chrisgeorgegray]

And this is why WTF Taekwondo sucks...



[mypeanut1975sc]

@chrisgeorgegray judge the person and not the style.....Chung moo Kwan.....WTF( World Tea Kwon Do Federation) Also it is full contact not touch point

[TerezBadge]

also something to point out, there is no writing on his black belt. I do taekwondo and every black belt that i have come across has writing in gold on their belt with Korean symbols. this guy's belt looks like something you could buy at any dollar store lol

[mGradDarko]

Why does your leg falls down ? U are easy to counter attack...

[apple268268]

'a characteristic of olympic TKD'...

please...just shut up and do the damn kicks properly man... and you're wearing a black belt.

[berrybriana7]

You are awesome, keep training and ignore all this people (: thank u for teaching

[joeyandrews]

@berrybriana7 you must be out of your mind if you think this is awsome but the keep training part is something he really need to do

[LaughingSeraphim]

Is there not a single guy on youtube who knows how to put his hips into a side or back kick. Plus he's leaning back and putting his weight on his heel.

Sigh

[duffymcduff9128]

ummm... i like how you explain the purpose and all of that, but as they say, walk the walk talk the talk... if your gunna explain it... then perform it properly as well... from a fellow 1st Dan, id like to say... very poor.....

[adamchan3044]

bad skill

[MrEran1996]

i came up with my own style to this kind of kick, move the left leg more to the right and then shoot it, and i can also do it much higher than him

[BlueAsianDragon]

Oh my GOSH you haters just SHUT. UP. My GOD WHY won't you SHUT. UP??!?!

You RULE man. And as I am sure you must know, you could kick any of their asses. Rock on.

[joeyandrews]

@BlueAsianDragon hmmm ever thought the haters are right ?? ive been training for 13+ years he really dosent rule anything

[hockeygirl9710]

Sorta thought one of the basics of becoming a black belt would be balance.

[huynhanhtrungtin]

lol :) ... I'll give you props for time and effort ^^ but your technique is not worth it. Thank you. Come again.

[30twilight]

lol you really suck. thats a spinning side kick and try pointing your toes down and umm... do something about that landing X[

[jayseon777]

your toes should be pointing down also. not sideways like a reverse side kick

[LordPhoenix1707]

In fairness, while not overly impressed I know that demonstrating technique while kicking a pad is far more difficult that demonstrating technique shadow sparring or even actual sparring.

[JazzBoyProductions]

wonder how much money he paid to get that black belt

[a6362573]

this kick is too low...

[mjm071068]

You make Taekwondo a joke . . . . stop acting like you know something of Taekwondo and find a real instructor who will teach you the real Taekwondo.

[TheSammyM86]

not fast enough, Even for local tournaments I was taught to eliminate the small jump for a faster execution of the kick.

[Trashboldus]

to be honest, the kick is somewhat ok, but definetly not worth a black belt...

for sure this guy has no dan

[sawymath]

Your fucking crap. Your technique s wrong. You need to be looking over your shoulder when you kick not at the floor. And your not retracting your leg back to your body after you've kicked.

[bhumibhatr]

I think his back kick is the best of all his kick

this is the best of him but it is very low back kick

but I like his turning back kick. ^_^

[anirudhkrishnamani]

WTF?!

this guy sucks!even my 4 year old nephew does this much better!!

[veluwereclame]

Hello, to have a bad balance does not mean he is a bad teacher.

[TheMaTaTa212]

@veluwereclame Yes it does, it shows his lack of experience, i think be bought that black belt online.

[3CroCop3]

My gran has better balance and she has no legs

[riimurogue]

@3CroCop3 my gran has no legs, srsly..

[DeVron001]

Really bad balance and technique. Practice more man, then teach.

[x11r]

His balance is horrible? Why is he demonstrating?

[MrKeumgang]

I'll bet all the dislikes are from ITF guys and you are all lower grade smart arses, if you walked into this kick you wouldn't be so smart, a back kick hurts even if it aint technically right

[TheSammyM86]

@MrKeumgang The problem with his kick is, its too slow. Can easily be evaded and since the title says " Olympic Taekwondo Back Kick " you wont be getting that many points if your kicks don't land. Eliminate the jump and change it to instant turn kick and step forward to avoid quick counters or back step instant turn and kick. (the step forward can be replaced with a Bandal Chagi if the situation allows)

[stevetkdchamp]

even when he demnonstrates the kick he nearly falls over..doesnt lift his knee high enough as he turns..and kicks below the belt..back is all about speed..my nan could get out the way of that!!!

[KillBloodRaven]

I just dont like how he says "OLYMPIC Tkd" as if being the Olympic style made it ANY better than full-fleshed tkd. It actually is the reason why most people just dont respect tkd anymore.

I dont want to criticize as if I had any authority, but it seems TO ME that after the kick his leg is SO damn exposed for SO long. I have been taught that you have to bend your knee again and quickly recover your stance and be ready to attack before they kill you. Maybe its only ITF, maybe Ive been lied to.

[YourLoveLetter]

@MrPublicIndecency this guy isnt teaching taekwondo. Hes teaching which kicks are allowed in olympic taekwondo and what will get you points. Anyone that tries learning martial arts on the internet is a dumbass lol this is a general overview of what makes up OLYMPIC taekwondo.

[KillBloodRaven]

@YourLoveLetter Nonetheless, I see no reason why he would hide his black belt skills. Maybe he doesn't want to be taken seriously; other than that, its meaningless to demonstrate something without really demonstrating it. If it were only about whats allowed or not, a list would do enough. Then again, a demo would come in handy, one which really showed what its all about. This looks like some sort of tutorial to me.

[99999999999999994789]

its good thanks

[tapoutcampion111]

omg even the bag is upside down this video is fucked up

[MRSfedup1]

and while you are turning to do ur little kick the guy attacking can just front kick your spine to the next state

[bullmeatt]

@MRSfedup1 if he had the time to react to a quick spin, and didnt get sent back from the kick to the gut, then maybe he could front kick him in the spine yes, and then he would get a point deduction for an illegal hit.

This is not "MMA" or what you might THINK a "real fight" would be. Im just letting you know

[Blitztanis]

hey, why the guy does the kick without looking at the opponent after doing it?

[shadowsabere]

@Blitztanis Because he's dumb...

[te1apartes]

hi!, im a blue belt but i leave taekwondo like 2 year before, but i want to go back do u know how to star when i left, o i have to doit all again???

[veshkeat]

@te1apartes U start where u left off, you can never have ur belt taken away from you

[DrVoltage1]

@te1apartes If you really wanted to I would suggest just going back with your most recent belt before that to brush everything up, but I know TKD is heavy on discipline so maby thats not the best choice for ya.

[barryMikurac]

i wonder how many cigarettes this poser smokes because every video this guy appears in it seems like he can't breathe. you know what my friend! show me how you bite down on a nicorate gum.

[Nickyx100]

nicorate gum.haha!!! NIce counter dude!!!

[shadowkillz2]

im a black belt and im goin 2 a championship this year haha

[pzpro12]

Thanks to your tutorial coz next week i will study taekwando!!!! yuhuuuu =)

[wena76]

im blue belt...but im cant do like he's do..coz im a girl...i want to do a better kicks at my tournament sparring..~!

[fakinpwned]

jumping turning behind roundhouse kicks do a great job of scaring your opponent. and they are a good way to impress everyone =P but if u really want to stand out, throw some of those.. they may be hard to learn. and you dont always have the time to pull one off, but when u can, they are great

[CharlieTehSamurai]

Hes not that bad come on lol i mean at least he can do the kicks, he did do the first back kick really low though which is illegal in any TKD tournament but hes last two were acceptable. Theres to many people with black belts who cant even do roundhouses correct to hate on this guy.

[Wolfsreign12]

dude sux Ide woop him easily

[blakblakknig]

no u wont u idiot, stop trying to act hard.

[LookitsLolWizard]

He's kinda noob :S even i own him :)

[dummyGamer]

why dont u step back?

[XD4133]

wow he sucks... i kick better than him and im a red belt...

[jopepe7]

Well im yellow and i kick better then him too

[MarloBomfunk]

i'm a half red belt , do we learn the bullet kicks now ??? when do we learn this kick also ?

[MISTofDAN]

@XD4133 So wheres your kick video? He was being constructive with his kick so please gtfo.

[eurotkdkid]

his alrigh lyk..

but ive noticed in the vids ive seen him do he only uses his right leg(abou 5vids) id say his one them black belts whos a week left leg..

hishead is nearly touchin the ground in a sparring match against a good fighter his head would b taken clean off his shoulders..

is he a 1st dan ya?..

keep it up but you need some training man..straighten your back, get your breathing right(mayb shout with the kick) o and your weight distrabution aint the best

every1 has flaws...practise

[RyanSnyder775]

I am currently a 7th dan in ITF and he needs to not arch his back so much plus he is not breathing while he strikes equaling less power you must keep your back straight and twist your head sooner than you twist your foot but he has his back arched too much and he is coming up short and not extending his leg out enough he stops as his foot hits the cushion

[iCommando]

yes ur right! thats why ITF is much better than WTF!

we have more patterns n more moves.

especially u r a 7th dan n the highest dan is 9th n there is only one guy in the world who has it.

[RyanSnyder775]

And ive trained with him Joon Jae Lee i did all of my couloured belt patterns infront of him and he was at every single one of my tournaments lets just say he is a family friend

[Jumpman231345]

my grandmaster was a 9th degree. He has passed away and was granted the prestigious 10th degree from Kukkiwon. (10th only achievable by retirement or death)

[47FeAr74]

how long you been going? out of curiousity?

i almost quit after getting my black..ALMOST

but then i get inspired by people like you haha

[robertgaudlitz]

he can`t even stand properly on one leg. ignore the fact, that the kick is lousy, but he has a balance inferior to most white belts i trained.

[cercopitecoideo]

your tuichagi it´s too low....be more technic and more clean in the excecutions.....come on your a black belt

[dardrex777]

great tutorial

[elborjeljadid]

Thanks so much sensi! i have a learned three different kicks just in a span of almost 4 minutes,great video!

[lahojen]

Don't talk - just kick!

[xavierch311]

thaks for the lesson!! nice instruction video..

[Raidenski]

La primera no tenia distancia buena, no pa' criticar.

[AkatsukiPR0]

You need to stay low.

And a counter-side kick would be more effective combo-wise in the scenario you proposed. Had your opponent thrown a roundhouse kick, it would be different.

And you forgot the fade away variant

[PlantainPlizoxx9]

he's preobly just showing the basic back kick...its still kind of shoddy tho, need to lean back more and strike with the heel rather than the full face of the foot.

[chooseit2]

looks more like a jumping sidekick ur leg goes straight out, it doesnt turn at all

[22Linx22]

haha! he does back kick like a beginner.

[gianniH]

hahaha u back kick like a beginner

[shadow1846]

Your back kick's better than your back hook kick, but again it looks like your like your throwing yourself off balance. And it looks like your hands are flailing when you kick. You should try to keep them close to your chest to help control your kick a little more.

[dardrex777]

hands are supposed to flail in TKD... the keep close in is more other styles... TKD is all about having your arms down a relaxed because there is no punching. Especially in WTF

[shadow1846]

Let me ask you something, who is your master, and what belt are you? Because anyone who teaches his students to keep their hands down in sparring probably gets kicked in the head a little too often. Do you know what happens to people who keep their hands down in serious TKD tournaments? Headshots, alot of them. And not sissy head shots either. Besides what good is a back kick if you miss and your off balance. You're setting yourself up for a viscious roundhouse kick when you kick like that.

[dardrex777]

I'm a brown belt and my master Soon Tai Kim. Do you know how rare head shots happen? Most don't try it because head kicks leave you open and are televised.

[shadow1846]

Well I'm a second dan in WTF tae kwon do, head kicks are the most common form of knock out. and there alot more common than you think. and In a serious TKD tournament your opponent isn't worried about falling down or leaving himself open, his ONLY concern is kicking you so hard in what ever is open that you can't fight anymore. If your face is open that's one more place for him to kick, and it's that last place you want to get kicked.

[dragonianxx]

shadow is right you should always have your guard up im only a first dan but even i know that

[Vlad3456]

@ shadow1846 Actually hands are down to tease your opponent to make the first move then you evade and counter attack or block and counter attack. But hands are down yes, so that your opponent can see an opening at your chest and your head and trick them into attacking .....thats why you also lean forward to tease them and lean backward to evade short range attacks.

[tyebo87]

you can use punches in taekwondo. in ITF there are just as many hand strikes as there are kicks plus you can punch to the head. and in WTF taekwondo you can punch to the body using hook, uppercuts and crosses its just that they are harder to score. there more used to move an opponent. ive seen many WTF taekwondo fights ended in verbal submission due to hard body punches.

[dardrex777]

it's not that common though

[Ammzii]

You can't say it's not common because it really depends on the fighter rather that the style of fighting. Some fighter's use their fists more than other people, whereas others might not want to punch, but to stick to kicking yuou see.

[Thorolf9]

one of my instructors used this on me at a sparring class but without the shield. wasn't very fun. :D

[Alesterno]

Not bad!

[SeV619]

agreed.
