Tae Kwon Do Strikes and Kicks : Taekwondo Combinations

[jayjayzpepsi]

n offence but im a white belt a can do a better hook kick then that

[aaronharun]

i am sooooo sik of ppl disgracing taekwondo! i swear ever since these tournaments tkd has become almost useless! there is too much focus on point sparring that tkd hand strikes and proper self defence strategy has gone.

Just wondering how are your punches gonna connect after kicking your opponent. I mean once you have successfully kicked your opponent he's gonna be thrown back a little greater distance for your punch to connect. You should do all the punch combo first and then end it for your kick. That would be more realistic. Unless your opponent is a bear

[KyosaNimGe]

None of this looks like practical application he can do this just for fun but it would be useless in a real fight or even in a sparring match.

[genericsavings]

This is an honest statement so no flames please;

These combos come off as very "unnatural" in terms of flow. The rhyme and reason is all off balanced, especially if it's meant for practical application. Better suited for demonstration, imho.

Did you knock down the girl? so thats why shes on the floor... lol

[ratonL]

Nice combos, but you seem a bit too stiff. Try loosing up a bit, let it flow and it would'nt hurt if you used your hips for power too.

Cheers

1:24 what's up w/ the girl on the floor?

[SuperSneakySteve]

@DylanCravens1994 She fell asleep watching this turd do wimpy punches.

[devourerofbabies]

tae kwon do would be better if people would not focus so much on a competition. but use rather on real life situations.

As a MMA fighter and international kickboxer and bare knuckle karate fighter; these techniques can work but the way in which this black belt does them is incorrect. He has displays timing, rhythm, his feet are flat, and his basic boxing is horrible. Once you start training at a kicboxing gym Nate you will be able to pull that off. To prove a point I am willing to do that combo in an MMA fight I have and make it work.

[8455lewis]

this simply does not work, you connot seriously attempt these combinations "front kick followed by elbow strike" either u connect or your opponent evades the kick,either way they wont be there for the elbow strike

[KongPau]

nothing special

[saberslicer1]

o.O the back fist isnt allowed in sparing, but in a street fight go head. a few moves in this video arnt allowed in sparing, but they are good. however they can be counter easily cuz of the delay of some moves during the tranistion from move to move.

[WayOftheHandandFoot]

i wouldn't be jumping at all in that combination. not only will you be telegraphing you intent but it will also make it much more difficult to recover which can lead to a nasty counter attack by your opponent. You might be able to get away with that with a slower individual be against somebody who has some speed on them you have no chance.

[noobown108]

umm isnt taekwondo is more kicking types? hands are more blocking.. a few of kicking combos are back kick then a round house, stepping side kick then with spinnign round house are good too

[dangkoen]

@noobown108 Taekwondo is an art that employs striking and kicking. It is very similar to Karate, only TKD uses the waiste a lot better.

[divinecross222]

wow... i guess he belongs to some random TKD club.. although Taekwondo stands for way of fist and foot, but in the 2nd combo, he uses too much of his hands.. keep in mind that WTF do not allow the use of hands

[WayOftheHandandFoot]

on the contrary it does it's just not the best method of scoring, it's more of a set of technique than really anything else

[JoostPyroPol]

he cant even do a proper hook kick

[Jeice3065]

And his ridge hand lacks speed power angle... A lot

[aldrei9]

lol looks like some1 is ded in the mirror

[RDraGon2179]

That first combination sucks. That combination would never land and your wide open.

[ninjafasho5]

good but he had bad flexibility
