Artistic Tae Kwon Do Kata

[JoshuaXiong]

funny good balance

[cataloniandevil]

She's well known for her "scorpion kick". Her name is Chloe Bruce

[bigj41004]

bitches like this are the reason i hate karate today...they've pussified it...this is pussy boy karate...realman karate is gojo ryu.

[aidan3000000]

nikki has new baby girl i woundering will she be stunt performer will her mother

[xgoblinkingx]

wtf that didnt make a bit of sense

[Muppsson94]

haha.. cool.!

[WristlockUK]

Great demonstration of what can be achieved by way of balance and muscle control.

This is however not Tae Kwon Do: Poor choice of technique for the range and no power in the hand strikes.

This type of thing is what is killing the reputation of Tae Kwon Do and its practitioners.

[facturaremito]

El Video genial y ella una diosa , ( La amo )

[freelonelyguy]

beautiful performance

[4thDan]

Yes, she has flexibility and good balance, but there's no decent fighting application, just showing off kicking combinations with a few splits thrown in for good measure. Very boring, little to no intensity. I would have given this a low score as a judge.

[cheater456]

"I would have given this a low score as a judge."

then we're lucky that you AREN'T a judge. "low score", pfff.

[keslerkaiyu]

agreed. Plus she uses mostly her right leg. Not very well rounded. She should practice so that her left leg is just as good.

[4thDan]

Good call, Keslerkaiyu, I hadn't quite picked up on that. Though that's hardly surprising, in my years of competing and watching competitions, a lot of competitors favor one leg over the other. You are definitely correct about training each leg equally. I drill my students in sparring once in a while by picking which leg or type of kick they can use during their match. Helps wean them off of using the same leg/kick every time they spar.:)

[fisherkarate]

I am normally not a fan of ceative kata but she did a beautiful job!!

[wildbhoy]

i like the song go's well with the vid

[muxi2222]

respect!

[00101011011011]

[PaTriK655]

[juniorpiscis]

[PaTriK655]

[midnightfirestarter]

hold on she is my girlfriend also

[juniorpiscis]

[shotojojo2005]

No, she my wife....lol

[rudeEMOboi]

this is some freestyle thing with some tkd kicks. and the song is ultra shitty too

[hellohello223]

Shes Hot.... she should be my wife!

[popolineytor]

she,could,be,your,gramma

[MAKEDONIENA]

boooring

[T3RINDE]

so slowly perfect performefd technichs

[Soopatone]

amazing flexibility.

[mrXfingers]

now i dont relly think that this is a good show of the art of tae kown do

[djovial]

superior control, flexibilty and balance... She did what was asked.. to perform .. I think she did it well.

[blackmedallion99g]

i think shes a natralist and a very powerful performer in her forms and makes look awesome in her perfromance...i myself is a showdow kick boxer and ,ove performing my own forms also gregory christhopher koostachin

[kickerz11]

u know its tae kwon do becuase she has bad stances oooooooo chopped but nice kicks

[MAdRackhemUp]

she'd kick my ass :)) & yours >:)

[andrewlaw22]

Nicky Berwick looking good.

[tc300791]

awesome , she is really good great balance!!

[nexislex]

Why is this labelled as kata and not poomsae?

[IllaScriptor]

Dude, she's amazing... but why did she flex her foot for all her roundhouse kicks? That's a very fast way to break your toes if you're actually kicking someone.

[caladazar]

definetly not WTF. actually, she got a good tollyo-chagi.... and seriusly, before you give her critics try to do that yourself.

[tkdfrisiantkd]

who cares its impressive she doesnt need to speed things up or it wouldnt be so good it takes more skill to do it slower its harder give her a break

[CloneYourLover]

Sitting on a front split for a minute is not impressive these days...

[kratosmurphy]

very artistic and creative way to use taekwondo or whatever martial art she specializes in. Not real practical for anything but that tho...

[analworrior]

She is flexible and the balangse is there to but the kicks need more speed and power and she need to be working whit her jump kicks.

[ars1983]

there is no katas in tdk, it calls poomse or tul just like MrTylerDurden said

[MrL666]

She flexible and has good balance, thats about it. Speed, jumps and everything else is poor. She only showed basic techniques, so I rate this video 2 stars.

Kata is japanese for poomse or form.

[Tobenman]

I'm in a Traditional Taekwondo School,

There the forms are called Hyeong.

[UrbanNiteWalka]

Her name is Nikki Berwick

Its Tang Soo Do

[Taekwondoka92]

Is this WTF or ITF??

[MrTylerDurden]

I can't say if that is WTF but I can say for sure that it isn't ITF. Wanna see some ITF patterns? Just search for "Jaroslaw Suska".

[MrTylerDurden]

Annoying music.

[jojurse]

tkd is tego not kata

[kan10892]

No, Tae Kwon Do's forms are called Poomse (poom- say). Quit talking about things you don't know

[MrTylerDurden]

WTF Taekwondo --> Poomse

ITF Taekwon-do --> Tul

[TKDbeast94]

her uniform looks kinda weird cuz it has half red and half white on bottom and half red and half white on top. Normally uniforms would be one color or the top one color and bottome another color

[soudapop]

ez iearned that when i was 13

[westsidecwalk101]

speed balance flexibility endurance technique. she got it all :|amazing :D

[gaarapunk12]

no maches la chaven chido y aparte la rola esta chida ¿como se llama la cancion? contestame si

[HoldTheWorld]

I'm in loveeee =)

[windefredrik]

I have trained TKD from the age of 6, im 32 now and still training, I have black belt(se my video"van damme tribute by Fredrik winde. I can comfirme that this is TKD and it is called poomse. It is true that there is no poomse that looks like that, but in a performance it is ok to put tougher the techniques and do it in your way. And she may not be so powerful in her kicks, but who cares..she is really god, its not a real fight, its a performance and is supposed to look god, not be practical.

[charlysyked]

LOL

[MrTylerDurden]

When I was younger I used to think just like you guys think. I strongly encourage to open your eyes and try some other martial arts too. Try muay thai, BJJ, krav maga or something. You could be surprised that maybe TKD isn't the best martial art out there.

[axispowerheavy]

Nice leg control but really . . . she's just another gymnast doing dumbed-down martial arts. She doesn't even know how to make a fist. Let's see some video of her fighting.

[MrTylerDurden]

I agree.

[MrTylerDurden]

As a matter of fact taekwon-do is so shitty fighting system that I decided to "unlearn" it and started training muay thai and kickboxing.

[GoldenJoker]

Kickboxing is a pussy version of Taekwondo and Muay Thai fighters are so fucking slow, any decent Taekwondo fighter would floor them before they could even begin to lift their clumsy legs off the floor. Now do us all a favour, put down that jug of horse semen, get the fuck up and go as far away from your computer as possible. The internet has enough crap on it without you coming and adding your worthless, retarded comments too. Thank you, good night.

I said put down the horse semen.

[MrTylerDurden]

Goldenjoker, you're speaking out of experience? Have you trained kickboxing or muay thai? I have and I obviously know things that you don't know. If you haven't seen any fast kickboxers or thaiboxers then you don't have any idea what you're talking about. It's not the SPORT that makes people fast. It's not my fault if you guys are living in a TKD fantasy world. You're the one who is talking about horse semen. What are you? Some kind of pervert?

[GoldenJoker]

I'm speaking out of your mum's batty crease and yes I've trained in Kickboxing and Muay Thai and they're both WANKTACULAR martial arts. Kickboxing is cack and so is Muay Thai.

[MrTylerDurden]

Let's leave our mothers out of this "conversation". Go practice some fucking tornado kicks.

[MitchellTNam]

her feet were dirty

[alchemic99]

you can slap me with those kicks anyday lol

[0362angel]

creo que sinceramente eres genial y me gustaria conocer el nombre de esta chica, es muy buena, y la musica es contagiosa al maximo, felicidades.

[theirishcook1]

and FFS it's not kata! it's called taegeuk or poomse/poomsae

[theirishcook1]

i think she's from my country, denmark. it looks like the one from teh olympics

[mjufpn]

This must be made up kata. Cause I havent seen such a demanding kata in taekwondo. And in TkD is not called kata, but taeg ug or something like that.

[lnep]

hyong or poomse

[MrTylerDurden]

Kata, hyong, poomse, tul or whatever. I call that "waste of time".

[lnep]

Why, because you're just sitting in your couch, being a gigantic potato and just gaining more and more weight ?

[MrTylerDurden]

Screw you. You don't know me. Oh, during my career I fought twice against norwegian taekwon-do fighters. I really humiliated them.

[lnep]

Your reaction here just proves my point about you...

[MrTylerDurden]

My reaction proved "your point"? Funny as hell mr. sabunim. You know what "sabunim" is, right? I just watched you wedding video. It looks like that you're the one who is so called "gigantic potato". I suggest that you train taekwon-do harder.

[lnep]

It doesn't take much to provoce you, I see... Just that you start making comment about the way I look, shows the lack of your self-confidence :-D You didn't have any other arguments left, so you start playing dirty. No wonder you had to quit tae kwon do, you don't have an ounce of martial arts in you. You poor, poor Finnish.

[MrTylerDurden]

I quess one should never underestimate the human stupidity. My self-confidence is just fine. It's YOU mister that started talking smack and playing dirty from the beginning. Do you remember this: "because you're just sitting in your couch, being a gigantic potato and just gaining more and more weight?". Did you forget already? I didn't have to quit TKD. I DECIDED to quit TKD because it is a martial art for pussies. YOU poor, poor "Norwegian".

[lnep]

If you look at what you've written, I didn't claim that you where being a gigantic potato gaining more and more weight. I was asking. See the question mark at the end of the sentence ? As you said, should never underestimate the human stupidity....

[MrTylerDurden]

I know what I have written and I also know what you wrote. So you think that question mark justifies being a smartass. Fine with me. I won't change my mind about this "kata aerobics". Patterns are waste of time. If someone likes silly stances and making traditional strikes that's fine with me. Patterns have nothing absolutely nothing to do with reality. That's just my opinion and hell yeah I'm speaking out of experience. I passed my ITF TKD black belt test in 1997. Believe it or not.

[Paragon160881]

Actually patterns have everything to do with reality, if you understand their proper application, which sadly most TKD schools don't. TKD is not what is commonly portrayed by the WTF sports side, its a very effective and efficient martial art, you just have to get past the sport side and whats written in the encyclopedia, and understand the true application of the moves and patterns.

[4thDan]

Precisely! The heart of any martial art: Karate, Gung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, lie in their kata/forms/poomse, tul, hyong, whatever the Chinese designation is.. It's up to the practitioner to study and apply where those techniques are to be used and how effectively to utilize them. Each technique and sequence has what I call "obvious" and "hidden" applications to them. The obvious are learned as a beginner, and the hidden are learned at advanced/black belt/master levels.

[aerokicker]

hmm...."hidden" applications of forms? The fact that you are relating forms and application, tells me you're not a 4th Dan. I have no idea why but all the "Western" martial artists are obsessed with application and practicality of martial arts. Martial ARTS! It's a form of art. I'm a Korean born, raised , partially trained in Korea and continued my training in the US. So I understand and know both sides.

[4thDan]

Aero, you are too presumptive. No, I'm not a 4th Dan anymore, just got promoted to 5th Dan. I've had over 20 yrs. experience in Martial Arts. "Hidden" application means that there is more to a move than a simple block, it can be used as a strike, throw, or targeting a specific target not normally considered. Application is vital, otherwise how are you going to know how to effectively use what you've been taught if/when you need to? Just performing a move isn't enough, you need to know how it

[4thDan]

...works and why you are doing it. If you are missing that, you're missing a LOT of your training. The traditional forms of TKD, Karate, Gung Fu, etc. were designed to have the student practice as well as study the application. Forms are beautiful if done in the right way. But you need to know what's under the surface, which will benefit your training and make it more worthwhile. Take care and train hard!

[xgoblinkingx]

what do you mean western martial artists? fucking douchebag

[potank7]

this is ballet

[1961e]

gwan your sharp gal respect

[893SHIRO]

dude me love this girl whats her name ? i wanna date her .

[619Alucard619]

Idiot, in TKD it's not Kata, it's poomsae

[rikorko]

HOOOT

[CtrlAltDaLEET]

very smooth and calm, 5 stars

[Insaniac1985]

Nikki Berwick, truly the gr8est girl in the martial art world

[lnep]

This is not Nicki Berwick, but Chloe Bruce. She's French.

[Insaniac1985]

hmm for sure? cloe is younger, and uses kiai.. also this is nikki because= uses nikkis standard moves and not the crescent moon kick that cloe ALWAYS use

[tomatito1981]

No soz chap - as ive written earlier on this thread this is categorically Nicki Berwick. Chloe Bruce is like Insaniac said, younger and by the way both of them are English.

[clubb69]

Nikki, I see you again and again with very big pleasure ! I want to say I LOVE YOU NIKKI BERWICK ! Kiss from Kyosuke in Paris

[joeyandrews]

just imagen what you could do in bed with her XD

[NAHUY11GTF]

Quisiera conocerla..

Su Habilidad Artistica es impresionante...

Es algo q nos muestra la parte Artistica de las Artes Marciales..

Y esta muy bueno..

Saludos

NAHU

[FlameDesire]

Wow, that was pretty sweet.

[polarsnake]

Her pose at 2:20 looks like a Kung fu pose.

[Phergan]

Poomsase and kata origin from two different languages.

Poomsae is Korean, and Kata is Japanese.

Since Taekwondo is indeed Korean, it would be more right to call this a Poomsae.

[Joiboyy]

Pfff! i can do that with my eyes closed ;D

[benny8teen]

FAG!

[ndmmaa]

This is Nikki Berwick

[Chodamezina]

she have exellent bodycontroll, but she move slowly..but musik ist good :D

[Taekwondoka92]

[ShinobiMystic]

Now thats what I'm talking about 10 perfect kicks in a row without putting her leg down. This is a wonderful demonstration and explains why I love TKD so much for it's dynamic kicks and chicks.

Peace.

[argg]

[celebratingfantasy]

wow, thats really wonderful.

[shinigami546]

[joe900016]

[Berey23]

Hmm, i would love to get beat 1000xtimes by her.

[ERIKTHECOP]

i know she has good balance and all but her kicks look funny :) lol

[thefly94]

[leekez1]

[ZorroTomas94]

[sabomnim40]

respectez le travail de cette fille qui n'est absolument pas Kitsch,son nom est Chloé Bruce et elle a même tournée dans double 00 avec eric et ramzy

she is from taekwondo UK and her name is Chloé Bruce ,there is nothing to do with kata,its a poomsee

[mchattan]

you are right, its an improvised poomsee, not a karate kata

[Stuuktrix]

Thats Nikki Berwick

[noonesaz]

Yea she's good but not the best I've seen.

[sjokolade147]

Pour nous autres ceintues noires de TKD une prestation tout a fait exceptionnlle! Sans aucun doute! Quelle magnifique travail! Une belle fille en plus, veritablment moulee par son zele et sa discipline dans notre art! Formidable! Je pense du reste que le droit a la critique passe par les propres prestations en comparaison des siennes! Aucun doute 5/5 et un coeur rouge! A-t-elle d'autres films de ce qu'elle fait, NarutoNinja6?

[tonedali]

on est vraiment loin du combat et du tae kwon do traditionnel ....

c'est trés kitch en plus ....

par contre c'est vrai qu'elle est souple

[zoocrewsk8er]

id tap dat

[untouchabletkd]

but.. if you look close, doesn't her uniform bottoms say 'kwon'?

yeah..

lol, tkd goes with poomse

not karate.

[aidan3000000]

sooy my post wriiten wrong nikki does tang soo do not itf tae know do

[aidan3000000]

nikki in tang soo do not tae kwon do

[Iwinallfights]

Um Taekwondo is Poomse, Kata is Karate

[MrEinstein]

got damn...that´s fantastic....

[ubunker]

artistic pumsae

[Iwinallfights]

i would agree that is should say poomse, but this lady is clearly not doing Taekwondo. she is wearing a karate Gui, and not a taekwondo Dobok. plus her kicks come up the same as someone who practices karate

[raul799]

she is doing ITF , ITF wears similar gi to karate , wtf wears dobok one piece

[memolee1905]

oooo myyy goddddddddddd

[sodoku50]

She has the sexiest eyes!! She can kick my ass any day! Rrrrrarrrr!!

[deviodevio]

i love her

[delmarlover]

that was very good . i did teakwondo 6 years and i will go to start with that again.

[Vanzandweghe]

Taekwondo Is the best I did it seven years ;)

[xxbaz]

I agree whit what your saying but its a Kata,If it were for real im sure they'd know how to kick in the right places!!

U have a gd day muppet!!

[Lezlo28]

It is labeled "artistic" so maybe it should be Tae kwon do, but maybe she made her own kata and so it looks funny.

[kelalo16]

Eso es gimnasia.

[chingywanny]

shoalin is better

[ntn20081010]

u r right! korean's suck!!

[remylebeau89]

Calvin01041980, She is doing a series of extremely well-balanced and flexible kicks and stances. How can it not be TKD?

[kallevon]

all u stupid mo fos who doesent think this is tae kwon do , jeez get a brain firts of all look at her pants its says kwon on it, and this is very much tae kwon do indeed, its a kata wich also preforms in tkd.

[zyanide]

Dude, Kwon is a brand name of a German marital arts uniform company.

It says nothing about Taekwondo (although my Taekwondo uniform is also from Kwon).

[bhrty14]

what is the song´s name

????

[3George5]

the name of this song is: Emotion by Dr Ross

if you don't believe in me see the information of this song, are next to the windows of the video... see you

[HONDACRX111]

Song is DJ ROSS emotion

[Prueloving]

Tae Kwon Do is very diffrent!!!!

[supermegakirsche]

this dobok is very nice

[HONDACRX111]

Yeah were did she get that dobock from. My club has a good one but this is better,.

[Calvin01041980]

She has excellent acrobatic ability, agility, balance and flexibility but this has NOTHING to do with Taekwon-Do.

[Sevdam36]

nicht schlecht:)))))

[lukey15243]

wow. amazing flexibility

lacking in power though... especially in her hand techniques.

very impressed otherwise though

[justin811j]

If you look away when you kick or punch, it does take away from the power and accuracy of that technique. It doesn't matter what level you are. As an instructor, I feel that to be true. I personally don't care for these XMA type forms because they look like dance ,not martial arts.

[terrencemcg]

you're right about the accuracy but power? in kyokushin we are told to look in the eye of your enemy to somehow read and intimidate the fighter. you dont need to look at where you will strike coz it would just telegraph your intentions. just a glimpse of his/her stance and would be enough. a more experienced fighter would easily predict the possible reactions of the other without directly looking at him/her. so as long as you execute well, you will achieve maximum power for your techniques.

[eulero75]

She is the great Chloe Bruce! E' la mitica Chloe Bruce! @hcpupito: ma chi è Miriam?? La voglio conoscere! :-D

[r123h]

Its not Chloe Bruce, its Nikki Berwick.

[lucasn82]

It actually is Nikki Berwick...

[hcpupito]

ahahahah....lo sa fare anke miriam questo.....è anke più brava

[gouldsdragon]

... she doesn't even look where shes kicking half of the time...

[blablablaImtogood]

Nice chicka but shes not good for real.. I'd run and slam her down, you all know women, they cant fist-fight.

[MeaCulpa91]

Easy to say that behind a computer on youtube. ^^
