[turtlepress]

@butcherscott no, he taught mainly on the east coast, although he did do seminars all over the country

[1dworden]

coolness

[iBoss99]

don't fuck with the Koreans

[masterblastertkd]

this is so old-school.

[ballsauce666]

This is sport wtf tkd. The emphasis is on kicks and kick counters.

If they punched to the face then the emphasis would be to not get punched in the face and not kicking. It wouldn't be wtf tkd anymore.

Imagine if in boxing they suddenly allowed takedowns and leglocks. You couldn't really call it boxing anymore because the emphasis would not be on punching, it would be on not getting taken down.

capice?

[ShoryukenThatHadoken]

While I will state there is some good TKD out there that teaches guard up/less emphasis on point sparring, the majority caters to the opposite of such. All I can say is seeing a "praised" instructor hit a -full body protected student- with less than half/quarter power, guard down, and saying "This is the correct way to score!" makes me sad, as it directly implies "this is the correct way to hurt someone and keep yourself safe!"

Not the best way to learn how to fight.

[hwoarangtaekwondo]

let me remind everyone, that every martial arts advantages and disadvantages......

[markpearson89]

I think blocking that way is just asking to eat a left hook to the side of the face. I'm a novice to martial arts, so I could be wrong, but that is what I see.

[GuamKomudo]

No its true, but in competition, Taekwondo cannot punch the face. Im from street Karate tought to me by my cousins and my grandpa, I wanted to play Taekwondo and it was very annoying because I always got in truble for punching the face, but Taekwondo fights with their hands down all the time... Its very easy and comming from Karate I just couldent help get angry and felt they were teaching me bad habbits. When you can easily punch a "blackbelt" in the face, something isent right... lol

[hwoarangtaekwondo]

lol what? ur allowed to punch? in olympics, ur allowed to punch, and u earn points but not much as kicks

[rabz777]

those kis probably wont need to defend themselves becasue their focus, if taught right is not to learn tkd for firghtig but for sport and compition, there fore most fo them wont even get into fights. Those that do will realise this and will have done extra to be that litle bit better. Its hard to train your legs, but if they are tamed, and you can kick, its not hard to learn a bot of real boxing, then you have a good fighter.

[ZEN824]

yes it is easy to hit a black belt in the face but only in under a rule fight. but if you say it's a free spar and no rule if they still do the same thing you know what it means...

[ZEN824]

how would you do a left hook when you're kicking whit left foot? this block is only for blocking kicks not for any other things. if you want to do a left hook make sure you have a good base if you not, this taekwondo guys will dodge this kind of strike whit ease and you will off balance.

[ZEN824]

effective. but need to train that to make it effective. master Sang H. Kim has mastered it. because he the one who made it.

[blindniggasamura1]

this is great defense if your in a TKD competition, but circling your arms down by your body is very dangerous. If your opponent feints a body blow and you attempt to block it but they instead strike high, its lights out. Gabriel Gonzaga crushed Mirko Cro Cop this way. That's why in Muay Thai, they keep their hands up to block high kicks and raise the shin to block anything below that, but even this leaves you open for straight punches such as when fighting a boxer, so its give and take I guess.

[ZEN824]

@blindniggasamura1- that's so not true. some taekwondo fighter does that, that's because they more on to offends and speed which resulting lack of blocks and defends. Some taekwondo fighter doesn't. this part you're wrong. you said all taekwondo fighter don't raise their guard. they often too(not all). they keep their lead hand down to get the stance light and the rear hand tightly onto the body which to block. more oftenly like that. the point is some tkd fighter don't raise guard and some do

[Seio45]

this is some wtf style with itf taekwondo u do use ur fists and keep ur guard up and not down

[ZEN824]

hahaha what a tight movement. i prefer to take my hands down when it is not really close and trap my opponent when they strike. don't do too much brawl. do soft taekwondo. but to wtf taekwondo fighter, don't do too much soft taekwondo. lolZ...

[ximenesbr]

It´s a very safe block. You just have to block with your forearm on the oponent´s shin and avoid the direct impact of his foot. I just wonder if it works good muai thai kicks because this kicks has a much bigger area of impact combining foot and shin.

By the way, I´m a taekwondo fighter.

[chadnhender]

Ur arm will not likely break. Ur not stopping the force of the kick ur just deflecting it while u pivot ur body in.

But still I dont like this, my hands rarely leave my head. To many people with quick ass feet and will eventually catch u with a lowhigh

[bassplyinfool]

well if that kick can break your arm then you may as well put it in the way of your ribs

[khairuleven]

yep..what my instructor told me is dont block directly,instead when the legs is fully extended,block the leg,hold the foot (only for a while) and pull it towards you,and counter with kick/punch.

[Spywalkerz]

this is why Youtube sucks, people/nerds comment about everything that others dont read anyway.... wall of text

[tiban7007]

u need to block because the judges might give the kick a score.. show it a bit away from the body so that its clear that its only the arm that's hit..

[madass888]

You don't need to block, just keep your right arm and elbow tuck to your body and step forward to punch him.

[jambi99]

You gonna have your arm broken using that technic...

[brokenscarfist]

I almost got my wrist broken with a poor block against a sparring partner's roundhouse. But that type of defensive technique is effective if the right distance is between you an your opponent and if you block right.

[AkhilleusWeeps]

Explain how that will cause your arm to break? I used this about a week into sparring with out anyone teaching me, it should second nature to anyone who sparrs like this. You take the fight inside and explode on their ribs/solar plexus/liver/kidneys.

If this would break your arm I'm thinking you would have an underlying health problem.

[Sinbad683]

Well considering that the legs are about 5 to 7 times stronger than the arms, a round house kick can break an arm. You'll only get your arm broken if you're not using footwork with the block. meaning you'd snap your arm if you're blocking it with feet grounded. Case in point Cung Le versus Frank Shamrock. Frank got his arm broken cuz he blocked Cung Le's round houses with one arm and while standing in one spot. I personally prefer blocking the area above the knee with this technique

[ZEN824]

@Sinbad683 - actually it's not about that. if you block with your arm completely 180 degree. yes your arm maybe broke. but if your arm is 135 to 145, it is safe. that's what my master told me. not to get your arm straight when doing lower block. at least not straight at all. it is not about your bone. it is about technique.

[DamienZshadow]

Not necessarily. Do you see what else he was doing? He was advancing in, jamming the kick. When you jam a kick like a round house, front kick, or other long range attack, you stunt its force and cause it to be ineffective.

[storyacoustic]

@jambi99 On the contrary, I use that block in sparring all the time.

[kamikazie0282]

@jambi99 yes and no. it would break your arm if you just blocked w/out moving. i block a kick like he is doing when i spar, and by forwards and to the side you cut off the power of the kick. doesn't hurt you at all

[devourerofbabies]

@jambi99 No he won't. Those are Tae Kwon Do kicks he's blocking.

[MrJDylka]

@jambi99

How do you figure, I use it all the time and have never suffered an arm injury.

[adilsafir]

i want to see the techniques for different types of kicks especially back kick, and i want to see a counter for a low kick

[kamikazie0282]

if you have somebody back kick at you right off the bat, they maybe are inexperienced. Leading with a back kick is usually a very bad idea. If they DO do it though, you can step out of the way of the kick (if he does a back kick with his right foot, slide to your right. If he does it w/ left foot, slide left) and then when he starts putting his foot down he is wide open for you to do a roundhouse, double roundhouse, or axe kick even (if you are have head shots)

[teamAmerica07]

low kicks arent allowed in tkd sparring

[JRJunAzn]

@teamAmerica07 yea thats true but despite the name i doubt its sparring.. more like self-defense on how to avoid and counter-att the kick

[tkdkadir]

@teamAmerica07 moron that isnt a low kick

[lagroad]

master kim??????????????????????????

[lagroad]

master's name?

[turtlepress]

Sang H. Kim

[balletman]

It's a counter that sets you up to attack. I use a similar technique in kickboxing to counter a low kick, except instead of a body shot, it's an overhand straight to the face. Very effective if your opponent drops or swings his hands when he kicks.

[CASteel1]

It is one counter with multiple kicks. Since the kicks strike different points it really is two counters.

[MoTheUltimateFighter]

i think it's one counter
