TaeKwonDo Basic Blocks

[solistas95]

Taekwondo has blocks ??????????????

[ShinobiMystic]

I ninjustu there are no blocks, tkd has these basic blocks. @solistas95

[23mjwill]

@solistas95 of course

[farleysbro2]

I think that with that extra step that someone quick would get through that block... Blocking has to be far quicker than that.

[TheRealAshland]

was looking for inside blocks and double knife block, good vid but not what i needed

[aimilitsaxD]

olgoun maki isn't right! with the new rules is different

[ShinobiMystic]

New Rules?

[aimilitsaxD]

aha i'm from greece and we are doing that different.... new rules i mean new ways of doing that

[ShinobiMystic]

I see my friend, are you associated with the ITF or WTF?

[Leoboyblackame]

Muy bueno ya me pongo a bajarlo jeje

[LadyEaglestar18]

could someone make a vid of the actual application of these blocks. Cause the blocks used in the form look very different when used it the applactions.

[robocoastie]

you can see application of the blocks in one and 2 step sparring videos but historically I agree with karate historians who say forms including the blocks used in them are for actually using with a weapon such as a staff or sai. Practice of them empty handed will assist you in performing them with a pool cue, pitchfork and other implement generally at hand.

[ShinobiMystic]

Exactly, any unarmed method should naturally lend it self to armed combat methods. Thanks for watching.

[weeman804]

iv been doing tae kwon do for 5 years never lost a fight i challange any one to come to ca and fight at the us open with me look up the dates

[ShinobiMystic]

wow bro, congratulations. Way cool.

[weeman804]

yes this is my first big comp so wish me luck

[GergelyMA]

I'm doing Taekwon-do since 1991 my advise: forget those blocks on the street. Useless!

[ShinobiMystic]

yes for real self defense not that practical, but for training and strengthen it is a good skill.

[GergelyMA]

To train and to strengthen I recommend to do training and strengthen activitys. This kinde of movement is not only useless in wiev of selfe defense. It is waste of time in wiev of strenghten becouse it is not effective, Do u agree?

[ShinobiMystic]

Yeah I will be truthful, I did TaeKwonDo for 15 years and find these blocks helpful as a moving meditation. To develop oness of self and develop indomitable spiritutde. However now training in ninjutsu find this blocking system horrificly bad for self defense, ok for some one doing the same style.

[robocoastie]

@ShinobiMystic exactly. What's sad is that this has to be explained to people today.

[ShinobiMystic]

Why is that sad, it is informative. What are you talking about here?

[robocoastie]

The move to "street fighting" has caused people in general to completely lose focus on the art part. Your explenation is informative, that it has to be explained now due to ultimate fighting fad is what is sad - unfortunate - dismaying - just like it's sad that the internet is making people become too literal to not recognize a metaphore anymore.

[ShinobiMystic]

yes I see, yes street fighters and UFC fighters only really perfect a handful of moves rather than becoming encompassed within an art. I agree with you friend. Thanks for watching.

[Pentagram010]

Plain obvious that basic techniques won't work on the street as they're practised. In real situation you need to improvise. In real situation the need is to survive, not the collect style points. Point of exercises is to get the idea and functionality of blocks. Some of the blocks would work in real situation, but not as they are done at the dojang.

[robocoastie]

@GergelyMA - the "art" part of martial arts is for preserving a method of fighting from more civilized times. Your hosinsool part of korean arts training covers modern self defense applications and they are generally hard basic attacks and moves taken from hapkido. That this has to be explained to people is truely sad and shows the dumbing down of people today thx to mma popularity.

[badkids76]

Thank you for your sharing, Shinobi. Good teaching movie.

[ShinobiMystic]

No problem friend, please let me know if you have any questions.

[vaijones2002]

Shouldn't the blocking arm start from above the reaction arm. May i ask what school of taekwon you train in?

[ShinobiMystic]

I don't know, does it start that way in which block are you talking about? I train WTF.

[ceralboi]

hi, thank for these help vids, i'm a blk belt and need to freshen my moves, me and my friends spar in my yard and they want to see some TWD moves and i showed them, thank you very much! hope u put more on soon!

[ShinobiMystic]

That is always fun, thanks for watching friend.

[gordontian]

there is so much to learn, i cant even get enough, it hurts after each time i train, but the pain, it feels good afterwards :), i dont know why i didnt start TKD earlier.

[ShinobiMystic]

I wish you the best with your training. Please don't do anything that hurts.

[magdaspoet]

Just wanted to say thanks. I dont really have the money to join a dojo even though i have always wanted to and these videos give me drills i can do on my own. so thanks and keep up the vids. i find them to be helpful, informative and easy enough to follow that even i can do them.

[ShinobiMystic]

No problem, I am glad you found this helpful. If you have any questions just personal message me here on youtube. I would be glad to help and answer any questions you have. I know how it is dishing out money every month for classes. And even finding the time to attend classes.

I wish you the best with your training friend.

[thommark123]

i can till that u have be work hard at it

[ShinobiMystic]

yes I do try my best, often I spend lots of time after class training.

[fulastekillen]

it seems like horse stance standing, and its not used in tkd... its for example used in wushu...

[ShinobiMystic]

the hose stance can be used in Tkd, often it is used to practice blocks and throw punches from in a since weight distributed stance. It is also used for leg conditioning.

[Uberflyingninja]

Hey can you tell me how to block/counter this situation: My dad uses some fighting technique when he just like sways his arms to block an attack and he charges toward me when he does this. He uses both of his arms and me and my dad only use fists. If I try to hit him, he sways my arm away and simultaneously attacks me quickly with both of his fists. Is there any way to hit/counter/block him because i'm kind of tired of losing by his attacks.

[ShinobiMystic]

don't try to hit him let him come after you and when he does step out of the way and step out at a 45 degree angle to draw out his energy. Watch my evasions and shifts videos to get some ideas.

[kissrdbc]

yo bro your xblock is the same as isshin ryu and uper foramr im just look at these video get know you better but what is see your good and very sure of you self i like that bro

[GodlyVayne]

So this kid has been starting fights with me at school. I think it's time I bust out some TKD yeah? Haha, you're such a good trainer I'm all excited now.

[ShinobiMystic]

Be careful friend.

[GodlyVayne]

I will. Thanks. And are those blocking moves instinct? Because last year, my friends were into boxing, and i had a fractured finger. So I boxed my friend one handed with our other hand blocking, and I did some of these moves without knowing about them.

[Amitboy1980]

wat do u think of my tkd have look master

[ShinobiDrex]

had a surge of training within me so i went outside at midnightish to practice these 5 stars man!!

[ShinobiMystic]

wow dude.

[DjRodimusPrimeXyZ]

Thankz for this vid, its simple and str8 to the point. They're so basic, and ez to remember, ur a good instructor, keep up the good work.

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks for watching. I am glad this helped you on your martial path.

Peace be with you friend.

[TheDivineSoldier]

Very good explanation, much better than my old instructor. TKD blocks are very hard to apply in real fights, especially against multiple combo strikes. But with practice I'm sure they are in fact very effective and very practical. My favorite is the upward X block, it shields against a lot of strikes and if they strike overhead you can trap them and throw (not TKD related, but useful). Very nice video, I liked it a lot.

[ShinobiMystic]

Yes, in modern fighting it is difficult to use these blocks against someone that is like a boxer who can punch real fast. However they do work you need to work on speed blocking and countering which comes with years of practice and work. I will be posting up speed blocking and advanced blocking soon.

[grass4life]

first off all plz excuse my bad english ..im not speaking english everyday!

to me i think i will never go into a JKD school or any matrial arts school but

ur Videos helps me a lot ..and im not only meaning the help by getting protect myself ..i mean that u help me to get into my life forward ...

[ShinobiMystic]

Thank you, I hope you can understand my English well. Peace be with you brother.

[takeninj]

Excellent Mike I really liked this great job 5 stars.

[tonywpt]

this is almost exactly how all of the instruction videos should be.

Good voiceover, not too many techniques, another person to demonstrate with.

Keep this up this kind of format.

I actually used some of the tradional blocking you demonstrated here while sparring for muay thai, and it works as a surprise against boxing techniques, even with big sparring gloves on.

[NunchakuDan]

great Mike 5 stars you and your patner

[dansta187]

excellent 5/5 Thank you...

the details and explanation are great.

again thank you very much.

[ShinobiStorm]

[9kontaris9]

A very good introduction into blocking techniques! 5 stars!

[kenshin715]

Excellent!5 stars

[usamanta]

Very good video my friend, well explained!

Peace out

[MOUNTAINOUS]

very good and very detailed. i didnt know you were teaching white level. is taekwondo white level in nintaijutsu? and are you teaching it alone or someone helping. i am alone in green but i know some are together like aikido and hapikido? 5 stars

[shadowwarriorwithin]

Tkd is white belt level. There are other instructors that know TKD, I don't know if they are going to post up their curriculum. But I know they will help grade. I noticed many of the assistant instructors are inactive.

[surobakianinpo]

could you tell me something more about these levels,i would be very grateful.

thx in advance

[MOUNTAINOUS]

ask shinobi mystic he has a list of all levels. i teach the green level alone which is ninjutsu and budo taijutsu

[telosnut]

great video, clear explaination, great display of proper placement and technique.

thank you. 5 stars

[headacheinducer]

[orhanc1]
