Taekwondo Breaking & Self-defense Demo

[shangss]

looks like the boards are pre-split :/

[q1kyle25]

@shangss Have you ever broken a board before?

[tkdnwwis]

just a really dumb commercial is all I can say

[TommyBui72698]

boards dont hit back ..

[Mommasbigboy1]

@TommyBui72698 If you hit a person like that then they would not hit back either.

[monkeyfreek321]

at my ATA school there are about 13 kids that could do that tere all black belts like me im 1st degree black belt if anyone cares its an epic school people should go there

[SKTanz]

honestly, you see, for most of the breaking there were 2 people holding 1 board because all you need to do is to push the board with a lot of strength then it'll break. that is why he was able to break it easily without having to start his punch from a far distance

[TheG1NGAN1NJA]

WTF stands for what the fuck!

[xXxmajchexXx]

ovaj gari je loš :/

[blackbelt807]

[peca5255]

[domsok]

[lcw1980]

sucks ass. ITF ftw

[dbray1]

OMG ITS JACKIE CHAN!!

[coloanelatino]

mmmmmmjjjjjaaaaaaaaaaooooo



[DemstarAus]

Shoes? Lol for instep kicks I can imagine without would hurt. I've Never had to break a board doing an axe kick, and I don't think adults do flying breaks for grading purposes in my school, not sure though. I thought he was going to break that board with a spear hand (naww, a punch, not that I've done that either!). Not dissing, just noticing the differences.

[khairuleven]

the boards are gay,shoulve break a harder object master kim

[425narutofan]

i want to fight the best fighting sport for me.i cant fight but im ok with my legs because i did running before.so taekwondo might be the right fighting sport for me. specially because i cant punch hard.

[alidus15]

Lol, notice he takes shoes on when he is going to kick the tree :P

[ROCKL33FAN]

@alidus15 Lol. I can understand why. It would hurt like hell if you didn't have shoes on if you're breaking boards with your instep!

[epicureo25]

pretty lame! I can do better! and I'm not even a black belt!

[SuperSneakySteve]

Fill the void? That's what she said!!!!!! LMAO!

[flerky007]

its the power rangers without masks!

[dreinicko47]

i wish turtlepress has kumbatan arnis too

[tvrulesnation]

Too much time spent breaking boards, whats that going to do for you?

& the self defence demo is laughable, whilst i applaud the guy for being at the level he is at surely he doesn't think that self-defence is like what was shown there?

[wesleythefat]

i'm in green two right now.

[97rico]

at 3:19 he looked like law from tekkan

[norskbud]

TAEKWANDO

[khairuleven]

he got good low centre of gravity.it will be hard to take him down.and he also preserved the original taekwondo techniques.

[MasterWiking]

Omg those boards are air for him xD

[nathanrr16]

its way better tha WTF

[raiden237]

this is WTF you noob xD

[nathanrr16]

i do ITF :)

[BangOwnd]

+sbgh did u train TKD?

no? are 2 TKD ITF its not full contact and WTF

WTF its for street fights and etc

[litowec]

Wot ??? Wtf is not for street, ITF is more for street, coz in ITF u use both, hands and legs.

[ZEN824]

@litowec- what a u saying? WTF taekwondo don't strike with hands?!!!!!!!! than,u'r wrong..so fucking wrong.. the one that u see which is the olympic sparring just not using hands to strike is just the rules... and some of the competition allow to strike with arms but mostly do... We use our arms to strike.. not just the feet.. ok? not just the feet... maybe WTF is not a street... than it is because we don't do brawl.. we kick and have stances.. have technique.. not like ITF...

[BangOwnd]

sbhg ur idiot its for real life 2 u can k0 with one kick i train tkd and its powerfull sport, self defence is mega good

[LcoolJfiveoh]

i have heard that TKD has turned into more of a sport than a self defence art...

what do you think?

[TaeIeon]

WTF olympic sport, ITF technical and more for "street combat" if you whant to say that

[MarkSamurai5]

@TaeIeon ITF has a sport side as well, heck, ITF taekwondo also wanted to be in the Olympic Games.

[ZEN824]

@TaeIeon- here, your mind set about WTF taekwondo is still can't be aggree. what you see is just olymppic sparring. the real art is just unharmed. but, of course some art is practical in the olympic sparring but not all. in olympic sparring the technique is limited to just kicks. no throws, no choke and no punch. the rules state that. but in combat there are no rules which will make the WTF Taekwondo fighter deadly because they learn so much deadly techniques.

[ZEN824]

@LcoolJfiveoh- it is just in competition. it is called taekwondo competition that's what you call sport taekwondo. WTF Taekwondo real art is still unharmed. it is only the competition making you called taekwondo is a sport which is not. the art itself is still unharmed in any association.

[diegoverzola]

very nice

[sbhg]

nice for a demonstration but not for real life!

[Jason9887]

please.......

[ATBandSK8]

wat is that thing he does at the beginning were he like hops off his back and on to his feet what is that called or were can i learn this

[gonlion91]

1:56

YES!!

[TheLibertard]

WTF!

[xytar12]

Note that he uses a lot of speed in his techniques. Speed is very important ,trough speed you can generate much energy. That's what i love about TaeKwonDo the way you can use speed in all techniques (Well you can use speed in all martial arts, but anyway you probably get my point)

[miataguy94]

2:21 AFRO NINJA!!!!!!

[TheLibertard]

Good for demo. Unrealistic in real life defense

[TaekwondoBoyz94]

master sang h kim is in WTFor ITF????

[turtlepress]

WTF

[huggydog24]

what do you mean by WTF? hehehehe

[600013818]

@huggydog24

world taekwondo fed.

[DTIESTO16]

hes very skilled but... breaking in a demo with hes tkd trainers on??

[loleuse483]

WOW I LIKE IT

[Hansoloburger]

NICE. I liked the one where the guy held the board on the back of his head and he used spinning hook kick ( i think ) to break it almost exactly in half

[roma696]

that was the only impressive thing he did, those boards are so thin, if he was trying to show power he really failed

[MrSKliquid]

@roma696 are u kidding those boards are atleast an inch thick id like to see u do that

[genecyten]

He is obviously very skilled. However, 1 inch board breaking is easy as hell.

At my TKD school we have an extremely gifted young boy around 10 and he could actually do almost all of those breaks.

And I could do all but the flying ones. Because Im white.

[zixsalcedo]

@genecyten it's not cause you are white, it's cause you are stupid. "easy as hell" yeah, everyone believes you, I would like you to come here and face the national team you idiot

[CHRISmartialARTIST]

@genecyten lolz im like u us whities cnt fly

[wesleythefat]

@genecyten what belt are you in now???

[BunnyAllMighty]

@genecyten so i'm South Korean and I can do thoughs your point? lol I wana hear it thats why I said this :D

[MrDokajan]

@genecyten If you're white who am i then? you just got a lot of shit in your body, which make you only dirtier but still "white"

[NateyboyJohnson]

@genecyten because im white :/ wtf is that supposed to mean

[MilitantBlackGuy1]

@genecyten LMAO, I think you mean white belt not white :L otherwise this becomes a racist comment ;)

[ebocortex]

@genecyten I would like to see you breaking 1 inch boards make a video of it :)

[dragonking700]

@genecyten

it does depend what kind of board you're using of course

[punkrocka27]

@genecyten i agree that most of the breaks are not particularly impressive, however i was quite impressed by the speed of the sequences

[stoppy247]

Looks like one of the Davies brothers holding up the wood for master kim

[MikeyAndNinny4ever]

from 2:50 to 3:00, thats the kick i need to do for my next grading..that was very impressive i dont think i'd trust myself with somebodies head lol.

[poorwynn]

my intrustor said too.but he nvr said the reason=.=

[ksp58]

good kicks! but breaking that thin board whit your fist isn't that hard.

[poorwynn]

sometime time is harder den u tot.

[roma696]

not really lol

[vampireloveme]

loved the axe kicks

[Myderion]

what's the point of yelling?

[ukatam]

exhaling increases power

[clman]

it sounds good

hahaha

[xx1yuna1xx]

acualy i go to TKD and i dont yell like that he use breath control to increase the power so realy when i look at this i dont realy know why he is yelling but never mind he has good self defence

[endleofan]

its called a kia it releases inner power

[MickyChicky33]

also when you yell, if you get kicked in the gut you wont get the wind knocked out of you, if you perform it correctly, and most people can do that too. I sometimes think it also strengthens your muscles, builds, confidence, makes your enemy think twice, and gives your body a burst of oxygen while it gets rid of carbon dioxide. but then again, I'm not a master or physician.

[roma696]

about the getting thing in the stomach, ucan just breathe out, same effect

[NightimeShadow]

Think of it as a centering device amongst other things. It helps you concentrate all of your physical energy into one point.

[xx1yuna1xx]

but i gess different people have different ways of mentaining the increase of power

[heffer14]

the 3 axe kicks were the best
