Mr. Michael arnold .

Is it true , that ITF-Korea left the international taekwon-do federation for enjoy Wako Korea ?

Nice footage, I fought on this event. I was the guy from about 4:30 onwards (white guy). Couldn't walk properly for about a week after he demolished my leg in the first round.

[michaelarnold13]

your the Bristish guy Jake right ?

Your a good figter and that was a good match

i also recal he was doing a lot of low blows and violations

I heard the referee warning him and I also remeber him actually aplogizing to you during the fight

You were good and that Brazilian was red hot tuff

nice to here from ya Jake

[00JakeR00]

@michaelarnold13 YEah that's me. He threw a couple of spinning backfists but I was walking fowards so I thought his elbow was hitting me instead of the fist. Luckily for me he got tired alot quicker than me or I think he would have kicked my ass :-). I came over from Thailand with the Brazillian guy Thiago and the other foreign fighters (except for that american girl), they're all good guys. Thiago destroyed his opponent though.

Great filming the match felt like I sitting at ring side. I was at an UFC fight in Germany, and that was a bloody show. I think I would rather watch a K-1 fight.

Thumbs up.

Very refreshing to see these kind of events without the artificial fanfare you get when watching it on TV.

If I recall correctly, we had one K1 event in Perth a few years ago, and further events have since been barred.

5 Gigs of footage had to sift,snip and match sound, colour and positions

but fun and thank you :)

[heat4yoass]

this is an awesome video michael! 200 dollar camera? I'd rather watch the kickboxing matches in this perspective.  Looks clean.

[michaelarnold13]

first match i was a bit suprised when i was sprayed with water and or blood

thanks

[TheFrenchiesRock]

woah that's rly close up

[michaelarnold13]

was exiting to be right there to the point of backing up when the figters got close in case one of them went through the ropes

[ABombs1]

I JUST posted a video like this... Muay Thai Boxing. A little more relaxed than this but more grappling and footwork.

[michaelarnold13]

i have lots of footage but reduced it to the kicking and jabbing

there was too much stale mates in locks and holds

just wanted to make a fast short video out of all the footage i had

[missy192]

half naked men? I accept your gift and forgive your absense xD

In all seriousness, GREAT video! Definitely fun to see these types of competitions up close and personal.

[michaelarnold13]

thanks Missy
