Taekwondo Highlights Olympics 2008

[Rondo765]

I joined WTTU Taewondo when I was 4. I am a 3rd degree and I really want to join WTF cause of there sparring and better matchmaking! Should I join or stay?

[tma12360]

@Rondo765 you should join. i started wtf when i was 4 or 5 and its amazing it gives you confidence and you improve so much more.

[mafoota]

Very impressive display, props. TKD is a real fun sport to watch, all the haters need to step off.

[PROUD2beGReeKWaRRiOR]

Tekken music hahaha ;)

[FlagOfInfiniteKarate]

lol fags

[killoman1000]

the blue man is good^^

[tkdfighterify]

nice olynpic games ;)

[mrreeper98tv]

o snap nice axe kick

[izanagi9]

That axe kick at 1:27 was freakin Nasty!

[helpera100]

:):):):)

oooo

[Feylamios]

I can just recommend it to everybody how might be interested in TKD.

I might looks hard and dangerous but it isnt, so much =) there are many rules for fairness.

Your movement ability will be faster by time to time =) and you will have a lot of fun.

[dankaren95]

That's why MMA is more realistic than this CRAP. Only kicks are thrown and landed, but none of them are effective. Those kind of kinds are good for movies, not for real combat.

[PrinceAliification]

@dankaren95 in all due respect, taekwondo is not about just the points. i have a black belt and those kicks really do hurt. Although a taekwondo kick is not useful all the time its is useful at many times. therefore, a pnch or two will do good but a good taekwondo kick will finish it off.

[KTAJosephD]

@dankaren95 this is sport this is not how they fight.. even mma is a sport LOL so why compare basketball to soccer are you a dumb kid.. or really stupid to understand shit.. this is not this guy fight.. im sure they are faster stroger and smarter that you dumb ass opinion lol.. they practice trowing too.. so stop being stupid and just watch the video.. fckin' dumb kid

[dankaren95]

@KTAJosephD Based on you writing ability and grammar, the viewers will decide who's dumb and who's not. 

[KTAJosephD]

[TheCkop]

@Binochy77 why are you so fucking gay?

[JDL8807207]

@Binochy77 why is your life is useless and gay?

[shotojojo1986]

That Howrang music is awesome.

[sharkman170]

omg they are kicking hard! :D

[juma221110]

What is the title of the music?

[Bluerocka145]

@juma221110 i think its hwarang's theme for ttekken 3

[Rapedo978]

That axe kick to the guys face was beast!

[deathclown786]

1 point for punch 2 for spining kick 3 for head correct me if i'm wrong

[KJEWLE]

nice vid man i too have posted a vid of myself come and check it out leave a comment of what you thought and pass it on to other people every one is welcome cheers

[jamie123gers]

tkd seems too fancy and is less focussed on the fighting side of it. it lacks power and punches. id like to see a tkd black belt fight an mma fighter or maui thai fighter

[EggWroll]

@jamie123gers If you knew anything about taekwondo, you would know that it revolves around scoring points on your opponent, not murdering them..

[JDL8807207]

@jamie123gers this is tkd sport.. please educate your self.. this is not how this athletes fight.. this is how we play our sport... for example this is our basketball safe and fun... we have rules here.. just look at Cung Lee,Anderson Silva, Mirko Cro Cop, Stephan Bonner, David Louisseau they all have background on tkd... or watch this video /watch?v=vU4chavGso0

if you still stupid to understand that "its not about the art its about the fighter".. just kill your self lol

[jamie123gers]

@JDL8807207 here theres no need to get violent about it. i love tkd , im a red belt and have been training for a while it just proves not very effective against muay thai whick i also train in and get my hole kicked in for trying fancy tkd kicks. so in the end fighting is a big aspect of self defence and and tkd is all about self defence, its just not the best im afraid

[KTAJosephD]

@jamie123gers not effective against MT >>? the best is the fightier the art is just an art lol... if you still dont get it then too bad...

[KTAJosephD]

@jamie123gers you see im just a green stripe but i can see more clearly than u.

[jamie123gers]

@KTAJosephD its your performance that matters not how clearly you can see.

[KTAJosephD]

@jamie123gers not to sounds cocky or what even.. i have been doing good on my sport.. i have alot of achievement and im only low belt.. ill be posting video about boxing tkd and bjj soon.. and some of my tkd highlights.. i have good record on my career and im just starting my dream is to play in Olympics.. just keep in touch on my Chanel.. you might wake up sir.. just to satisfy you.. here is some video sir.. tkd beating up MT etc etc watch?v=vU4chavGso0&feature=fv­wrel

[Nicknamelikeyours]

@JDL8807207 You queer only cung lee has a real teakwondo background...Mirko Cro Cop? Fuck your self what are you going to say next? Fedor has a Wing Chung background?

[Nicknamelikeyours]

i would takedown these gay assfuckers and break their fucking useless legs

[JDL8807207]

@Nicknamelikeyours another crazy guy wanna be fighter wahahha

[tjtkd1]

for anyone that does taekwondo, soccer and taekwondo are a matching pair, my soccer compliments my TKD and my TKD does a lot for my soccer.

[CeSTeRiToS]

Very nice video, Thanks !!!!!

[TheAndrekks]

Now taekwondo is a fucking sport, come on go back to the martial arts!

[TheUgurThe]

@TheAndrekks haha you dont know we are fighting every 2 days you nab and its very cool we are learning all what they are learned before 5 years

[KimsCrazyLife]

LOL just kick him in the friggin balls n he'll be down no time.

[chkkercool]

1:30 best *-*

[BlockAnything]

The Reason they don't punch is because you score points when you knock them back or on the floor. The Simple fact is that its much easier to kick someone down then punch

[MrBullseyeProduction]

@BlockAnything

Actually you dont gain any extra points for knocking them to the ground. A frontal kick to body is 1 point. Any kick where the attacker has his back to the opponent gets 2 points. And you gain 3 point for head kicks. TKO is also a win.

[Demolasha]

NICE VID!!! :D

[Flo1222able]

das mach ich

[Johannes123456788]

Protect your eggs my little boy

[colomanya2010]

Hola a todos muy buen video

[Paprikapeiniger]

haha, who needs guard up while the counter? :)

[mielord21]

they more on dodging attacks than guarding it... its more useful defense

[indubioproreo23]

ger best

[branmaster54]

Is this like tag with your feet...?

[ikcjjtt]

@branmaster54 yea, thats all it is. :/

[punkyprincessful]

i am just wondering why dont they ever have their guard up when someone does like a tornado or a back kick ... :) ...

[KTigersMelb]

good one!!!

[TKDFlap]

It is very tough to get a point with a clean punch, the main reason why punches are not used often in Olympic style TKD.

[Muaytaekwondokiller]

WTF is the Best!!!!

[samorano89]

definitivamente el taekwodno fue mejor en Atenas...

[shotojojo1986]

tekken sound track nice. lol go howrang!!

[kookahjoon]

how he did that 0:24 ???

[TJP06]

That was fun. :)

[axderaq]

Awesome indeed; I unfortunately stopped at blue belt second; but I'm still kickin !

[fieJ]

why dont they use their hands to cover ? good video :)

[TJP06]

@fieJ its said if you have time to cover you have time to counter and get a point instead of just standing there.

[fieJ]

@TJP06 oh. :) So why don't they cover and encounter at the same time.. I mean just hold your hands higher and encounter :p It's called multitasking :D

[TJP06]

@fieJ @TJP06 lol good point, i have seen some players do that, but then they get yelled at by thier coach. when i first started taekwondo in the 90s it was transitioning from blocks and strikes to speed kicking and no blocking.

[k1llerace]

man athens was such more entertaining than beijing

[TJP06]

@k1llerace i strongly agree. and the 2000 olympics in sydny was good too.

[Jesus00000000000]

Honestly, I see some of these points and I ask myself why in the fuck is this a point?

I do TSD and maybe it's because it's more stiff, but you can see the point more clearly.

Every hit REALLY hits.

And we don't move around like a rag doll.

[Walshman117]

Jesus00000000000 I do Tang Soo Do too! What rank are you?

[Jesus00000000000]

In a month I will do my exam for green belt :)

What TSD school are you from?

WTSDA, ITSDF, AKTSDF, etc??

[BrudnyZdzichu]

1:28 ;o cooooool!

[fullonsk8]

look this good tkd video!!!! :)

[SuperMagicRocks]

@Fuice1 thz so much for answering my question. btw that's really cool that the woman who thaught u tae kwon do won silver:)

[daehanl]

[Fuice1]

[SuperMagicRocks]

[ozzieruss01]

@Fuice1

[Ehvvy]

1 :32 LMI???

[ChocolateSword]

WTF Tkd is like boxing - Boxing uses only hands, the arms, We WTF TKD uses our legs.

[ichigo9178]

@ChocolateSword and somewhat of our arms lol

[ChocolateSword]

Lol yeah

[xToxicamaNx]

zaebuxa <3

[opium1977]

nice fight !!!! lonv live general choi hong hi

[killerdaycamp]

at 1.28 is that guy ok

[deVall3y]

do you not get points for punches in TKD? they -only- kick

[68TE68TE]

they get points with her punches but they doesn`t apply it

[Tx66]

@68TE68TE well they do apply it, but only if the punch is so hard that there is a visible effect on the opponent. punches to the face are not allowed, though!

[WeI1994]

@68TE68TE or you can say how's the punch is, if its really clearly and nice, it worth a point

[scratchedscreen]

you get points when you knock someone off their rhythm, which is sort of hard to do with a punch unless it's very well timed. Generally, it's not worth bothering unless it's a counter-attack. Also, in WTF, you're only allowed to punch to the body (not the head) whereas you ARE allowed to kick to the head, and you get more points for it.

[Tinkeruk2010]

@68TE68TE

More points for kicks and longer reach.

[netjap23]

sometimes maybe

[MegaMaxCorp]

you normally do, if the punch is direct and hard :D

[khairuleven]

@deVall3y points for punches only if to the body and if its strong it makes the person pushed back.because kicks are better to do the job so most dont use it.as for me,i use it but seldomly get points.

[randomnator]

@deVall3y In WTF they barely use their hands and can only punch to the torso, and if im correct, they only get points if their punch knocks their opponent to the ground.

ITF whichi is the traditional Taekwon-Do uses punches to the face and torso.

[Thatguyfox]

@deVall3y punches to the body count if it causes body displacement

[Icelandicishnese]

@deVall3y In sparring in TKD it's very difficult to score points with punches.... TAe Kwon Do is more focused towards kicking than hand techniques.

[scratchedscreen]

@deVall3y you get points when you knock someone off their rhythm, which is sort of hard to do with a punch unless it's very well timed. Generally, it's not worth bothering unless it's a counter-attack. Also, in WTF, you're only allowed to punch to the body (not the head) whereas you ARE allowed to kick to the head, and you get more points for it.

[Don123q]

@deVall3y In the ITF there is a lot of punching therefore your statement is false

[deVall3y]

@Don123q in this video there is no punching at all therefore you are an asshole

[Don123q]

@deVall3y 1. I'm not an asshole

2. This is WTF taekwondo and this sparring is WTF rules which is punching doesnt score you that much points.

[KTAJosephD]

@deVall3y C'mon dont be ignorant now.. study 1st.. i dare you to spar with the proffesional taekwondoist you wont last.. this is battle of stamina and kicking skill.. this is the sport part of tkd.. this is not how we fight.. this is how we play our sport.. if your still to dumb to understand that watch porn instead.. LOL

[epicrandomnessXD]

@deVall3y

no u dont get points for that

and you dont for side kicks or push kicks either...unless u knock them down, then i think it counts.. well... im not a pro, but i think thats how it goes.

[cakesnifer167]

@epicrandomnessXD you do get a point for a side kick if you displace them or if you make a head shot with it, but im pretty sure you dont get a point for a push kick

[dollarboy94]

@deVall3y the opponent has to fall down after the punch

[killerdaycamp]

this is alot tougher then training, belive me i'm a black belt

[MarionCullen13]

awesome

im green.soo not that good

,,,coool!

[guitarman2738]

go korea!!!!

[AllstarHunE]

1:32 is brutall

[MasterMacLeod]

This BGM sounds like some Tekken music.

[Fdelphinus]

Casting for can-can dancers or what?

[BevWild]

i do not understand why people watch this video if they know that they will not like it then comment and say something rude and disrespectful towards something they know nothering about, why watch the video then say something rude if you already know you do not like it? to me thats just a waste of time.

[daridp]

@BevWild Because this martial art is a complete waste of time and effort. It has gotten enough kids hurt because they thought their flashy kick actually has power.

[madmap0]

@daridp Its not a waste of time.It teaches kids to persevere through any obstacle to achieve there goal.Even if you get hurt,you just get back up and try again.

[daridp]

@madmap0 No it gets kids hurt and it is just a shitty martial art to begin with. The kicks lack power and leave you off balance. Alot of TKD schools never stress to keep their hands up outside of a TKD tournament. I am glad that it might inspire kids and at least get them active outside of school sports. However long term it would be better for someone to learn a grappling art or San Shou, Muay Thai/Kick boxing or boxing.

[KTAJosephD]

@daridp it doesnt matter what martial art you take lol.. if your stupid then your whole life is stupid..

just like you ignorant.. different martial art works with different ppl.. i do mma but.. i dont disrespect tkd because it is my 1st martial art.. and ive use it plenty of time.. if you still dont have enough experience please get some... tkd is one deadly and beautiful martial art..

[daridp]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[daridp]

@KTAJosephD Your right that some aspects of TKD work.However those strikes are the same ones Muay Thai,San Shou,Kickboxing etc. have.The other TKD moves often times lack power and leave you off balance.Let me put it to you like this,there are a bag of moves,punches and kicks that have proven time and time again work.Each striking art has some of the moves in that bag,some have them all.However TKD's other moves are the ones that DO NOT WORK except in very rare occassions and often times by luck.

[KTAJosephD]

@daridp LOL you dont even know what is tkd,.. why dont you tell me what doesnt work on tkd? ill make you sure.. you eat every single words that you said... i have a questiong btw!? does martial art make you good ? what is the best martial art? what are the some aspects of tkd that deosnt work? enlightened me sir... im practicng boxing tkd and bjj combat not the sport bjj.. I wanna know your point of view about tkd.. every thing you think its not effective

[daridp]

@KTAJosephD How many top level UFC fighters are solid TKD black belts?GSP is a solid karate black belt.Lyoto Machida is a solid karate black belt.Anderson Silva has world class Muay Thai.Cain Velasquez has solid kick boxing.Shane Carwin has solid kickboxing.Randy Couture has solid boxing.BJ Penn has solid boxing.NO ONE ATTRIBUTES THERE SUCCESS TO TKD OR HAPKIDO OR ANYTHING KOREAN. EVEN CHUCK NORRIS THE HIGHEST RANKED AMERICAN MADE HIS OWN MARTIAL ART with elements of it what works -what doesn't.

[jeronviray]

@daridp  no try to read about UFC again u will see those succesful man who have trained TKD . try to respect dude

[kowy88]

@KTAJosephD Imagine taekwondo and wing chun mixed in one style :D Godlike :D

[KTAJosephD]

@kowy88 i kinda practice wing chun too : P

[kowy88]

@KTAJosephD Dude, the wing chun techniques combined with the fast leg movements and kicks from tkd. One of my WC instructors have black belt in tkd, and says, In the street, when you combine them, even in the ring, no one can defeat you. For me, it is just perfect combination, especially when you are over with the iron fist 100 day training in WC. All I can say is flawless victory :D

[BeLikeWater1000]

@BevWild itz cuz theres fucking trolls lurking....

[pkabu09]

TKD is a great sports and help many, overcome self confidence. Depending on the students and a really good Master....students excel beyond imagination. more power to all, I've done it long time ago and I loveeee it.

[008jordy]

I LOVE TAEKWONDO !!!!!!!!

[Watsand]

This sucks

[MasterMacLeod]

Not the way you do.

[kfg01]

what a shit martial art. what is the point of having arms if they are just going to flap around like idiots. not one attempt is made to block a kick either. fucking pointless.

[BevWild]

in tkd we learn how to kick, punch, and block. the tkd fighter always has the advantange because we know how to kick and we know several deadly kicks, where as your adverage joe on the street will come into a fight using his arms like a boxer or wanna be MMA, to me he is pointless, because any one who knows tkd could end the fight quickly with their knowlege of kicks, blocks and open handed attacks

[g12man12]

this aspect of the martial art, is the "sport side" of it, it is completely different from the real martial art aspect of it, idiot.

[CrunchyNut1000]

this is sport taekwondo, it has body and head guard and is energetic, fun etc. if it where a self defence or whatever in the streets there would be no body guard and head guard so a few or even one kick to the body or head would be enough to finish the fight.

[savvasithaka]

it sometimes looks cool, but this is such a silly martial art

[tekkenplayer0923]

se nn mi sbaglia la canzone è una theme di TEKKEN

[sexyboa25]

AWSOME * i feel bad i quite fighting to dance*

[AupaPeps]

wow the crowd goes so crazzy^^

[JeErgsteNachtmerrie6]

dosn't that hurt if they shot you in the dick?... :p

(sorry for my bad english ;)

[BinhDinh9afterburner]

depends. you wuld wear a protective dick cub outside your underwear. sumetime i see people wear it outside their white ma pants. black belts a su good they dunt even know the wurd hurt meant. black belts Korean train very hard. they wuld punch their fist onto the hardwood floor. u would see their knuckles like hardened steel.

[Faithz2345]

it kinda looks like their dancing

but i like the taekwondo tricks

[BinhDinh9afterburner]

yes befure they enter taekwondo school, they need couple of clasess in dancing.

[Futura8097]

I totally agree flokilla ;S

[BaekHoGoeku]

i know^^ but i also know that i wasnt allowed to grap his feet because of these unreal olympic restrictions in the rules that ruin tkd.

[flokilla]

there are many tricks how to grab someones feet...but personally,i dont like doing it...you can only hurt the other guy that way...thats how i got my knee dislocated..

[BaekHoGoeku]

at your age of fifteen years you should shut up and recognize that belts are just there to keep your pants up high. dont be arrogant and keep on learning other styles to eradicate the openings in your own style. and taekwondo IS with hands too. i think you're just some kind of WTF boy, fighting all day long and shouting strange ki-haps so you could not know, that there are enough other techniques in taekwondo used with the hands. so it's not your fault.a lot of effective hand techniques extinct.

[olympictkd85]

a good taekwondo fighter would be picking a boxers teeth out of his foot...on the "street" or not.

[BinhDinh9afterburner]

man out in the real wurld, i wuld picking my sandles and run a so many kilometers away, u wuldnt see me running.

[snowboardingsquirrel]

the comment below me is completely pathetic as a third degree black belt at fifteen years old, our ART is with feet and not hands u idiot. and trust me if someone were to run into us on the street, things would not be good. considering that i can cruise a back kick thru three inches of wood, i think breaking a rib or a round house to the head would have em moaning. oh ya and the few of us that choose to work on punching such as me throw a punch as hard as boxers my age.

[BaekHoGoeku]

do that on the street and a good boxer will punch the shit out of you.. your head's just exposed all the time.. all this stuff about scoring and points... that's why taekwondo becomes a pathetic sport like soccer instead of being what it is supposed to be: an ART.

[itExotik]

the leg is, and always will be, more powerful than the arm. not to mention the much longer reach.

only way a boxer can win is if you tie up his legs.

[badrine22]

waw super salama mn had lmsakhit

[TKDZULIA]

suban mas videos de estos porfa se ven estupendos good!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CrazyAnimeStudios]

Can you even punch in the Olympics i mean seriously kick kick kick.

Were are the punches

[blizzta1]

keep on complaining.

[BeWaReoFCLaRe]

why would you bother punching? you'd need to be in closer, and kicks are way harder. Punches rarely score anyways

[68TE68TE]

I think you're a German because of the wrong sentence TO: BeWaReoFCLaRe

[RenegadeRoller]

why would u throw a punch when your kicks are more efficient?

and punching doesnt score you a point, you can do it though, theres just no reason

[flokilla]

have you ever let somebody from tkd to kick you in the stomach,with your chest protector on???...it doesnt feel good,believe me...

[mioomio1]

viva taekwondo

[crusnix]

hey whats the combo kick calles when u continuously kick them in the ribs so like when u hit with ur right leg ur left leg comes up straight away and hits and u keep swapping i forgot :(

[MetinValentine]

roundhouse :)

[iRay99]

not as great as 04' but nice

[teamAmerica07]
