@Gojnic that's on of genki sudo's trade mark, he all ways does some crazy shit before a fight cause is into theater, acting and that kind of shit! he's an awesome fighter!
Another very interesting thing about Genki Sudo is that he often voluntarily challenged his opponents in their fighting style - even if it may be disadvantageous to him. He specifically studied and trained TKD prior to this fight.
This ended up working against his favor in several occasions, such as when he wanted to challenge Yamamoto in a stand-up game, despite that match being a MMA rule. But it just shows that Sudo was always willing to experiment and challenge himself.
He's just 2-4 in kickboxing. He's 16-4-1 in MMA, where most of his wins are by submission. Really, his stand-up is just enough to deal with guys he can't submit, otherwise, he's really all about the grappling.
I love Genki Sudo... but if you look, his kickboxing record is mediocre. His stand-up is just dangerous enough so that it can't be ignored, but his strength is in submissions.

Karl Marx, 1867
The American Bulletin, Rabbi S. Wise, May 5, 1935:
How shit did Tae Kwon-do look? Knocked out by a submission artist. On a brighter note: Genki got his black belt in bjj a few months ago and hinted about a return to mma! How cool would that be?
@superbumting You actually watched the match, right? The TKD did pretty well with strikes, especially in Round 1. It's not his fault that Genki Sudo is tough as nails.
ahahah man I remember the first time I saw Sudo at our gym he was mad dogging me! I thought to my self I ll fk him up. Then he went through half the class and got everyone in a flying triangle. There is video of it on here
TKD isn't a bad martial art, the problem is the way its taught, regardless I'm not defending TKD, I believe its a better self-defense art, than it is a competitive MA.
Then again most TKD guys I've seen love their flashy kicks, that wouldn't help them in a street-fight.
that TKD dude is a beast dont doubt him, ive seen some of his fights and he has some incredible power in his legs. the reason he wasnt kickin much is because it isnt a video game. Kicking over and over again is A. Predictable and B. Tiring. he learned to box decently to be able to mix it up in MMA, so dont diss. Genkis backhands are wicked, i doubt many people in his weight class could take that shot to the face and remain standing.
taekwondo is crap when put up against other martial arts. but that doesnt necessarily count out a tkd practitioner because he can be really good, but my opinion wing chun muay thai shaolin kung fu would rock a tkd of equal experience
im not saying that the guy is bad, i do tkd myself, but he didnt stick to wat he was good at, that is kicks. u can argue this all u want, but tkd is 90 percent kicking.
There's only so many of those flying, spinning kicks you can throw in a match before you get tired. Unless you get a fluke ko early on, you have to start mixing in some hand strikes.
The Tkd guy did very good but then he tried to use hands cause he got cocky. When Genki went for the spinning fist he should of clinched in and use what he does better....kicking.
Why are you trying to cause arguments, I mean seriously, no martial art is inherently weak, but at the same time no martial art is inherently strong either, it all comes down to the people practising it.
it also comes down to the way it was taught. most martial systems derive from the same base movements for one purpose - to hurt something. if one guy teaches more for wartime for example its going to be most effective in that situation and if someone else teaches purely for show fighting etc its going to be most strong in that area. to put it simply its not the art its the people and their way of using it.
Yeah, if the Teakwondo guy can first hit me in the face. I am a white belt in Shito Ryu, Brazilian Juijitsu, and Kungfu Sansoo. I fought FOUR Teakwondo Black belts before and they all lost. they could not get to my face. Yeah if you just let them hit you in the face I guess but, that is not how it happends in real life. Are you going to politely ask a mugger to let you hit him in the face. LoL. TWD IS WEAK
The way tkd is being taught today is it mainly being a sport, most red - 1st dan blacks dont have the mindset to fight in a confrontal fight environment which is why they would fail against a more scrappy style like boxing as its completely in your face which tkd is not. if you are telling the truth though u didnt fight a good black belt.
I've come to realize that many belt systems are for marketing. Honestly, original martial arts didn't have significant belt systems, it was invented to sell the art. It depends on each individual's ability as well. TKD nowadays is taught like you said as a sport, and for performances. Not saying that some of what TKD teaches wouldn't work, because EVERY style has a purpose behind their moves right? But as of now, their moves are more flash than actual combat purpose.
Duno what kind of "blackbelts" you were fighting but I've knocked out so many cocky people like you, it's not even funny. TKD teaches you to use your legs because they're longer and way strobger than your arms. My first time sparring I push kicked a guy in the face and almost took his head off . So the real question is: Are you going to ask a muger to gay-hug you with his Brazilian jujitsu or are you going to keep your distance and kick the shit out of him.
Well, given the mechanics of most of TKD's kicks, the weight of two men on your neck as you crash to the ground from a takedown is going to be a lot more effective than any 2-3 kicks you would throw in the same time period.
And this is an argument for grappling in general, not just for BJJ.
Yeah. That is if you can pull off a good takedown without getting a knee to the face and get knocked the F*** out. I searched long and hard for a good TKD master (after training with team quest fight club for 2 yrs) and finnaly found a teacher who teaches how to apply TKD in street fighting. Believe me I'm much more satisfied in learning how to K.O. someone with a kick. Rather than trying to grab someone and bring them on the ground and maybe get them in an arm bar and tap out :/
It's easy, because in several proper takedowns my face comes nowhere near your knee, and in one takedown you have to knee directly to your side to get me at all. And did I mention that throws are takedowns too?
dont go to the floor on the fucking street coz wen the guys just about to feint from the choke, his meat head freinds will stomp on you. simple as fuck.
Takedowns are weak. Especially if you're the type to "shoot" at your opponent. Those are very dangerous because you create an opening at moment of attack (and we are tought to strike when your oponent strikes or after he "lands" a strike) Needless to say I've had many people try and take me down to the ground and end up with jammed fingers, broken wrists if not knocked out cold before they can even get a hold of me.
In a proper shoot you have maybe a quarter of a second to counter the attack before my head's in your armpit and out of the way. A setup for a shoot is also to attack once or several times to goad a counterattack which will then be ducked with the shoot.
I see what you're saying. But having your head in your opponents armpit isn't always the best thing either. All I'd have to do is wrap my arm around your neck and put you in a guilotine. From there on I can use my knees to knock the wind out of ones chest or knee them in the hips and disable them or even worse Just fall backwards with your head sticking out past my back and land on your head. That could do alot of damage to ones neck, spine, head etc...
Well, the defense against the guillotine is to just shove it in further and turn with the takedown. In a proper shoot, there are little to no weaknesses without a sprawl or underhooks. And as for knees to the body, the shoot's going to knock as much wind out of you as the knee
I've seen someone be choked out in the street, have their arm broken on the street, and I've seen people leave a street fight not knowing what happened the past two hours because they got dropped on their neck.
And biting and eye gouging can be done by the grappler just as easily as it can be the striker. Easier, in fact, since the grappler knows how to position himself. And you can throw one guy into another and make a break for it. Self defense is survival.
The move your refering to where yout get a person's head under the armpit and fall back with their head sticking past you is called a DDT. Simple wrestling move.
I practice tkd, dont get me wrong. but just because of that, im not going to say that kicking is always better..in a perfect world id KO someone with a kick, but its not always like that...
why are you even discusing this things? takedowns and kicks are really different, apples and oranges here!...they are both strong and useful in different situations..you can, for instance, throw kicks and if needed perform a takedown...
This is fun to watch, but you cannot judge an entire style "weak" on a single fight
consider this
TKD practitioners follow the only martial art to use scientific method to focus their power on vital areas, they are taught how to break holds of much stronger and physically fit people, and they are acclaimed the world over for their talent with kicks as well as hand attacks
I apologise, my wording was poor, TKD is not the only martial art to use scientific method because naturally every martial art uses science to a degree, however it is the only martial art which is based primarily on scientific principle. This is mainly because it is one of the youngest martial arts around,granted.
And I think a big part of the reason people in organised fighting don't use TKD as their primary is because TKD users for the most part don't do that scene,no big deal,just a fact tbh
TKD uses the principle of sine wave (named for the trigonometric function sine) as a base of it's movement, a down-up-down motion, it also uses the concept that every forward action must have a backwards - with a few exceptions of course.
It divides the body into "lines" as well, pinpointing the key vital spots of the human body. Also it scientific equations of power which we are required to know.
If you want any more info just gimme a PM and we can chat :)
i couldn't agree more. Good fight but if you watch closely Genki is almost about to throw a few elbows and work on a take down in a few exchanges. His spinning backfist is the greatest to watch in this or MMA.
well if he is a TKD practitioner (which if he's not, he purposely made it look like he really is), he still did really good compared to all the other TKD guys that get their asses kicked in MMA don't u think? I mean he did land a lot of decent shots using TKD kicks.
Yeah I agree. Still...that could be because it is so widely practiced, that there are more mediocre people on video. Look up Serkan Yilmaz. He is good to watch.

Gengki Sudo is not muay thai. He's jujitsu and Mixed martial arts. K1 just wanted to see what kind of craziness he could come up with if he fought under their rules and not Pride's.
No, you are right. He only fought K1 and Pancrase with a few UFC's here and there. I was mistaken in posting that he fought in Pride. Thanks for the correction.
It is always Thiland fighters of Muai Tai agains Thiland unqualified Taekwondo players. If it is a "THai against Korea" ,let us invite a korean takewondo fighter and see..
There's a lot of irrelevant debate going on here. I could point to the pros n cons of each argument, but to be honest I'd rather cut the argument right at the stem. Said "Tae Kwon Do guy," is Kim Jing Woo, Practitioner of Kickboxing. Even his dobok pants are lined in black in the manner of Korean kickboxers... "tekondo no champion" he is NOT. He has, to my knowledge never competed in Taekwondo. Again, this is just K-1 and their promotion of "Japan is a superior country" policy.
tkd guys are soft nowadays. i mean we have guys like the korean tigers who cant fight in the street for crap. pussys.this guy is soft too. guys like this should just quit.
you are retarded, have u ever even seen the korean tigers fight? they are a demo team, its true that wat they show in the demo doesnt actually work in real life but it doesnt mean that ppl on demo teams cant fight, they just fight different
I think its funny how they don't care at all about balance, cause they know the referee will save them as soon as they hit the ground. No disrespect intended to the fighters, they're just playing the game by the rules they have.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this has prooved that genkki sudo's SUCK ASSS they throwing their arms like a screamin' lil girl and luckily hit right on the tkd guy's eye...Tae kwon do Rulez!
That guy is fighting in a completing different sport. An amateur boxer (the TKD guy you called a phony) is fighting a pro who's been fighting in that condition all his career.
I doubt that "TKD guy" is a phony. Don't compare apples with oranges
im 2nd degree, but ive been away from it for about 2 years. i think he got rusty and you could tell by 2 mins in the video. by 3, he stopped hopping around, as opposed to the genki sudo guy who was still relatively fresh.
I just started training TKD in my local club, I mean WTF is NO TKD , I train at ITF [style] and I got a kick from a blue belt, on a pallet [soft thing], so hard that it shocked me. I think if someone would get a kick like on his body he wouldn't be able to move, and it's just a regluar kick no spins or other things...
KingKrio i dont know where the hell who's ass ur head came out of but if tae kwon do sucks why is it renown through out the world? come and see me and i'll show if taekwondo sucks
if this is k-1, elbows are legal but only in the 3rd round since it ends fights so easy. but if u watch all the way, genki actually knocks the guy out with more of his fore arm then elbow, so technically it's a back fist. tkd is not bad taken it myself just most tkd fighters don't train to knock somone out in a situation with less strict rules like k-1
I'm guessing he's a fan of Buckethead.

TKD would not necessarily make for a bad basis for a K-1 fighter(good leg skills).
But the absence of hand techniques is a very bad thing(atleast with gloves on, as some of the few techniques are strikes to the windpipe).
However, TKD as a base, mixed with some other fighting sport, which emphasizes on hand techniques would be very interesting to see.

From there on I can use my knees to knock the wind out of ones chest or knee them in the hips and disable them or even worse Just fall backwards with your head sticking out past my back and land on your head. That could do alot of damage to ones neck, spine, head etc...

Well, the defense against the guillotine is to just shove it in further and turn with the takedown. In a proper shoot, there are little to no weaknesses without a sprawl or underhooks. And as for knees to the body, the shoot's going to knock as much wind out of you as the knee

Dude...concrete = KO or splitting headache. Biting? Eye gouging? Homies? You've seriously seen someone tap out in the street?

I've seen someone be choked out in the street, have their arm broken on the street, and I've seen people leave a street fight not knowing what happened the past two hours because they got dropped on their neck.
And biting and eye gouging can be done by the grappler just as easily as it can be the striker. Easier, in fact, since the grappler knows how to position himself. And you can throw one guy into another and make a break for it. Self defense is survival.

The move your refering to where yout get a person's head under the armpit and fall back with their head sticking past you is called a DDT. Simple wrestling move.

Using takedowns in defense is okay, but in my opinion when people try and shoot or tackle as their attack just doesn't seem too bright to me.
Dimour1 2 years ago
why are you even discusing this things? takedowns and kicks are really different, apples and oranges here!...they are both strong and useful in different situations..you can, for instance, throw kicks and if needed perform a takedown...

This is fun to watch, but you cannot judge an entire style "weak" on a single fight
consider this
TKD practitioners follow the only martial art to use scientific method to focus their power on vital areas, they are taught how to break holds of much stronger and physically fit people, and they are acclaimed the world over for their talent with kicks as well as hand attacks
vegitossj 3 years ago
Only martial art to use science? Are you high?
How about boxing? Or wrestling? Or Muay Thai? How about Judo or Sambo or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
How about the fact that almost no fighter in organized fighting (that garnishes any success) uses TKD as their primary style?
Yojimbo1717 3 years ago
I apologise, my wording was poor, TKD is not the only martial art to use scientific method because naturally every martial art uses science to a degree, however it is the only martial art which is based primarily on scientific principle. This is mainly because it is one of the youngest martial arts around,granted.
And I think a big part of the reason people in organised fighting don't use TKD as their primary is because TKD users for the most part don't do that scene,no big deal,just a fact tbh
vegitossj 3 years ago
Hey Vegitossj,
you wrote: "however it is the only martial art which is based primarily on scientific principle."
Can you explain that a bit further? Thanks!:)
mikelindqvist 3 years ago
Sure thing.
TKD uses the principle of sine wave (named for the trigonometric function sine) as a base of it's movement, a down-up-down motion, it also uses the concept that every forward action must have a backwards - with a few exceptions of course.
It divides the body into "lines" as well, pinpointing the key vital spots of the human body. Also it scientific equations of power which we are required to know.
If you want any more info just gimme a PM and we can chat :)

jacf210792 3 years ago 2
i couldn't agree more. Good fight but if you watch closely Genki is almost about to throw a few elbows and work on a take down in a few exchanges. His spinning backfist is the greatest to watch in this or MMA.

eddie84964 3 years ago
well if he is a TKD practitioner (which if he's not, he purposely made it look like he really is), he still did really good compared to all the other TKD guys that get their asses kicked in MMA don't u think? I mean he did land a lot of decent shots using TKD kicks.

Gengki Sudo is not muay thai. He's jujitsu and Mixed martial arts. K1 just wanted to see what kind of craziness he could come up with if he fought under their rules and not Pride's.
macaddict1980 3 years ago
correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think genki ever fought in pride.
he spent nearly his entire MMA career in pancrase and k-1 hero's. few fights in UFC, rings, and other orgs, but never pride.

No, you are right. He only fought K1 and Pancrase with a few UFC's here and there. I was mistaken in posting that he fought in Pride. Thanks for the correction.

There's a lot of irrelevant debate going on here. I could point to the pros n cons of each argument, but to be honest I'd rather cut the argument right at the stem. Said "Tae Kwon Do guy," is Kim Jing Woo, Practitioner of Kickboxing. Even his dobok pants are lined in black in the manner of Korean kickboxers... "tekondo no champion" he is NOT. He has, to my knowledge never competed in Taekwondo. Again, this is just K-1 and their promotion of "Japan is a superior country" policy.

I just started training TKD in my local club, I mean WTF is NO TKD , I train at ITF [style] and I got a kick from a blue belt, on a pallet [soft thing], so hard that it shocked me. I think if someone would get a kick like on his body he wouldn't be able to move, and it's just a regluar kick no spins or other things...

you know you saying that, makes me reply,
you say it itf is a style and wtf is another style of taekwondo, you know styles ARE diferent thats what makes a style different than the other

if this is k-1, elbows are legal but only in the 3rd round since it ends fights so easy. but if u watch all the way, genki actually knocks the guy out with more of his fore arm then elbow, so technically it's a back fist. tkd is not bad taken it myself just most tkd fighters don't train to knock somone out in a situation with less strict rules like k-1
