Taekwon-Do One-Step

[ShalomYal]

Well done - I love the techniques - diff. than my school

[theobrambacacao]

You are such an inspiration to everyone out there who keeps cribbing about old age.....Seeing your moves, it actually makes me think are you 66? I wish my granny could do that.. ;)

P.S I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end

[sarahzxx12]

lmfao :)

well done thoO

[Joe9999j]

In a real fight, do a side kick to their shins. Then to finish them off do a knife hand strike to their neck. It's just that simple

[DaChrischia]

Hi first of all you did a good job on counter attacking the one step punch. However what is the purpose of practicing one step sparring? Is it to get yourself ready if you are being attacked in a real fight?

In a real fight no one is gonna come at you with a punch like that (one step punch). Chances are it's gonna be a swing or hook punch aiming for your face. Can this self defense still work for such a punch? Not trying to be sarcastic here. I am asking sincerely.

[TKD906]

@DaChrischia One step sparring is an exercise tht allows the student to practice techniques that cannot be practised in free sparring (eg knees, elbows, fingertip thrusts) aswell as targets to below the belt.

It requires great command over focus, distance and timing aswell as a knowledge of which attacking tool is preferable for which target. EG. a fingertip thrust is preferable for penetrating soft parts of the body better than a palm strike. It also allows us to learn the body mechanics.

You are adorable and indeed very precious to all who follow the way of Taekwon-do. You are a proof, that Taekwon-do is a way of life for everyone, and an example of the indominable spirit, we all look up to. I wish you many more battles won! (plaese excuse my poor english)

[puniho]

@saiosve, I thank you. You do me great honour. And your English is very impressive. I have tried to learn Bulgarian as I have twice been to Plovdiv (invited to art symposiums) and can say little more than Blagodarya.

[LEEAHGEE2770]

GRANNY GOT TALENT !!!

[gorbashuk]

I think this is impressive, but not sure

[NarleyDude07]

I'd tap that

[crewifyable]

I love seeing anygirl fight, if your a girl martial artist, its just EXTRODENARY to see girls do martial art. Just Looks better than when a guy does it sometimes. Cus you dont see to many girls doing this stuff. It pretty cool.

[DKRaFiQ]

way to go!! showed some spirit! ;-)

[TKD344]

See everyone - Your never too old...Well done.

[puniho]

@TKD344 Hey thanks TKD344. I'm 66 now, and training hard, hoping I'll be good enough to go for my 4th Dan when my 3 years is up, in August 2011.

cheers

[crewifyable]

@puniho How long it takes to get to a black belt? I really need to know. Please. thank you.

[puniho]

@crewifyable

Hi. It usually takes about four years from absolute beginner to 1st Dan Black Belt. It's worth every minute of the training.

[djfjgfhgh]

@puniho oshe your third degree? but your unifrom indicates ITF style taekwondo i like it tho, i am 4th degree myself for WTF i hope u get your 4th dan in your 2 more years haha :)

[crewifyable]

@TKD344 Your absolutly correct.^^

[NUNCHUK0]

awesome !

[ntrnate]

GROWSE

[DemonFromTheDark]

About one step. It's really an abrieviation on patterns, which then leads to self defence which is where you put your techniques in real life situations.

One step is more formal, just showing off the skill and control of the performers.

I'm not dissing your opinion but I thought I should say this

[TheCutteMan]

good

[MrGamerschannel]

i never learned one step, after a while my perception got better and i applied what i need into combinations and throws, just by learn the basic blocks and looking at how the body moves etc

[spinkicker43]

It is ONE STEP...

ONE STEP!!!

This is meant to get you used to performing the moves and where to strike, then you evolve into more intense and better.

Tada?

TKD teaches many many many put downs or just plain out kills.

But the first step to become good is to train simple.

[Makubex628]

Great observation! Although TKD is a great art, this person doesn't really do it justice. On some of the techniques I thought the woman was going to fall over cause her balance was off.

[edraith]

Oh, maybe she is just old.

Not every pratictioner is an agonist! This is not boxe in the bronx, nor Thai Boxe in Thailandia or Cambogia: is a Martial Art, mostly practiced for fun, for sport, for phisical and mental shape.

It is common to find amateurs even among black belts. Furthermore, I repeat: maybe she is just old ;)

[djrhythmdave]

Great work guys thanks for uploading this video, very useful stuff. Take care, David from the APTI Tae Kwon Do School Isle Of Wight (UK)

[MileyRayFan790]

speed :)

[zyanide]

Really cool. Got lots of moves I could really use. :)

[GarthanSaal444]

At my school, there are 5 of these for each belt. There are still many more of these to be seen.

[TheSlackOne]

Nice work!. You are a great example for the people!.

Grangratulation and keep on.

[ralitkd]

kudos! :)

[xunknown91x]

This is awesome :) I have my red belt grading soon and am really stuck on ideas of what to do for my one step to really impress the grader.

You've given me some good ideas though thanks :) Have you got anymore tips or anything? They will be more than welcome!

Seeing as everyone else posted their age and stuff :P Female, 16, England

Much Love

[TastyCows]

Woah, Try and demand cookies from this grandma and she will rip you in half.

[1jamesdude1]

this is good thanks i needed some ideas about 1 step as my grading is coming up soon.

[NarleyDude07]

ha ha - i came on here for the same reason ! - great minds think alike hey ;) - good luck for your grading , my black belt is in 2 months , gonna be very demanding !!!

[ahnchangho]

Forget the fact that you are obviously a mature lady, as people keep mentioning. That was purely some very good, powerful one step combinations which should inspire anyone, regardless of thier age or gender. (From a 34 year old male)

[Tavalieri]

Very impressive! I'm 44 and feel old at times with the youngsters in the gym. You inspire me.

[puniho]

Thank you to all you other women taking control, perhaps wishing we'd started years earlier, but still giving it everything.

Cheers to you!

dale

[LinkinFalloutPArk]

i know i remember when i was just a white belt and we did simple 1 steps but i mean...look at these ones

[crewifyable]

[HidenMakimono]

[xclairesloane]

[puniho]

Hey thanks, very much appreciated.

I'm in Canada for a week (I live in New Zealand), for an art exhibition and guess what? I've found a tkd club here and will go for a training session with them tomorrow.

[TKD960]

Wow! How old is this woman? She has good control for someone alot more mature(and i choose my words carefully lol). Wudn't wanna try and mug her lol

[puniho]

Hey thanks. 63 and counting. Ain't life fun?

Hoping to go for 3rd Dan next year ... defence against weapons. Great!

[TKD960]
