  • Amazing!!

  • Awesome Martial Art I had not seen this style before my friend showed me the video on G+

  • the inside kick at 54 seconds is one the i sometimes use in point sparring. difficult to defend

  • I have not heard of this style but i am impressed at the control these guys have. also that they can use technique. their balance is amazing. these guys are very skill. this is sport so some of the techniques are not ideal for combat but it is nice to see these use in sport.

  • I dont think its the art that they are performing but the fact that they are actually performing the techniques in a tournament. Unlike martial arts today which only kick and punch with no technique or resolve, its all about getting the point, throw 20 kicks and 100 punches one will get it. Absolutly no technique, no calculation. Just roosters fighting on a mat!

  • An amazing display of balance, control and power. Taekkyun is such a beautiful martial art, I would love to try it out.

  • Nice, I loved it! reminded me of the good old days here in america when actual martial arts was allowed to be used in tornaments!!!

  • it takes a lot of discipline and physical soundness to perform martial arts...

  • Korea is good!

  • 16 people got sweeper kicked

  • It looks real contacts.

  • So I'm thinking that they must been very good at slipping , weaving , body checking , maybe some knees and elbows. Possibly foot trapping and all. But there is nothing. All i see most is fancy kicking , thats great but damn , where they ever trapped or cornered in. I'm just tired of seeing it , as a child I studied tkd and tsd. very disappointed , I'm trying to understand the foot work to this so maybe i can place my own style to it.

  • i wish they would quit with point sparring. Seriously , I'd like to learn a Korean style martial art that i could teach to my children when they get older. But its always ruined , by some fancy kicking and point sparring. So now I seen they are creating new styles of korean ma. I read the hwarang where so elite that they would not use their hands to fight. That the warriors appreciated writing and felt to fight with them is a waste.

  • son increibles

  • el tkd "moderno" deberia aprender porque la verdad esto si es espectacular el tkd se ha vuelto muy aburrido

  • Impresionante. De pelicula. Es la base del taekwondo y el hapkido modernos, pero se pueden ver muchas técnicas de defensa personal que hoy se practican poco, perfectamente aplicadas en un combate.

  • pres 3 to comentator orgasm.

  • soooper woooooow

  • this stuff looks pretty easy

  • what side won?

  • nice im impresed

  • it looks like kyokushin, but much better.....it look very realistic...what MA is this???? and it can be seen that it is traditional, with no any kind of protection.....OSU from traditional fudokan karate-do.....OSU!

  • Taekkyun has two type of Taekkyun one is Dongyi taekkyun and the other is Guryun taekkyun

    Both two type of taekkyun have it's own forbidden skill

    some taekkyun master practice forbidden taekkyun skill

    Forbidden taekkyun skill is very dangerous

    that skill is very efficiency to kill the people

    so in the match they can't use forbidden skill like that video

    If you see the forbidden skill of taekkyun you are very surprised like me

  • Comment removed

  • I must admit, I was well impressed at 1:21

  • This looks a lot more legit that tkd. Go traditional. Woohoo.

  • Interesting

  • HOLY SHIT!!! THAT SWEEP KICK!! AHAHAHA NEVER REALLY SAW A REAL ONE THAT LOOKS AS GOOD AS THAT 1:22

  • wish stuff like this was in america 

  • is it just me or a lot of the sweeps and throws from the clinch its from judo? it would make sence because japanese did rule korea and ban a lot of korean culture including MA

  • @kenseisato1989

    Taekyeon comes from Three Kingdoms which was around time of 96 BC to 900 AD. Judo was established in 1800s. Taekyeon was used and portrayed before 1800s. ^___^

  • @asadal123 Koreans are pretending to be tough again. For a bunch of cowards who had their country occupied by Japanese for 35 LONG YEARS, Koreans surely tries to act tough. Aren't they really a bunch of cowards? When Japanese Army came to Korea in early 20th century, didn't Koreans get so scared and peed in their pants? 

    Is murdering TEN MILLION fellow Koreans an act to make themselves look tough? After the self-genocide, Koreans look stupid, not tough.

  • @kingmannumberone1

    1. Korea was not moderized, Japan was moderized before 1900s , ok??

    2. Cowards??? Wasn't Korea formed resistance groups around and outside Korea, killing Japs????

    3. March 1st demonstration, about 3 million people died by Japanese hands. That is sad.

    4. Give me data where Koreans killed 10 million, fifthy lier!

  • @asadal123 What ignorance!! This Korean monkey cannot even write proper English! "Liar" is not spelled as

    "lier." asadal surely writes like a grade school boy.

    But those ineffective and cowardly Korean resistance group let Japanese stay in Korea from 1910 to 1945. They must be lazy and cowardly! Hahaha!!!

    And Korean mind is still not modernized. They think no differently from monkeys.

    I still want the names of those Korean officers who were executed for massacres in Vietnam!

  • @kingmannumberone1

    I'm gonna report you troll monkey. ^___^

  • @asadal123 is a crybaby just like all Korean monkeys. My goodness, this asadal monkey claims that Koreans apologized to Vietnamese for the beastly massacres of thousands of helpless Vietnamese by Korean troops during Vietnam war. Then which Korean officers were executed for those beastly crimes? Give me the list of Korean officers who were executed for the massacre!!

    I have been waiting for a long time. Asadal is surely a stupid liar monkey. (Not "lier" as dumb asadal monkey misspelled.)

  • @asadal123

    thanks for clearing that up, makes sence to me now.

    i guess it went from china, korea, then japan

  • @kenseisato1989 No it's not. Japanese actually tried to get rid of Taekkyun, and Taekkyun actually shares a similar root with Ssireum. Because Japanese tried to get rid of Taekkyun, Master Song, the only Taekkyun master left, had to pass down his techniques to his students.

  • @Minsang1st

    thanks for sharing and clearing that up.

    but i guess hapkido and tkd was influenced my japanese MA?

  • @kenseisato1989 Yes, hapkido and Taekwondo was greatly influenced by Japanese M.A. Although many of those practitioners claim that there were some Japanese influence, and most from traditional martial arts, Taekwondo got little or no influence from Taekkyun, the martial art they claim to be what they derived Taekwondo from, and hapkido, I don't even know which traditional martial art they try to connect it to, and both were not just somewhat influenced, but GREATLY influenced by Japanese M.A

  • @Minsang1st Btw.. no offense to any Taekwondo, or hapkido practitioners.

  • @Minsang1st

    Hapkido and Kumdo is based off on Japanese M.A. But TKD is disputed. But Hapkido has mixed Japanese and Korean influences to it.

  • @asadal123 is a stupid monkey. When Japanese radicals assassinated Queen Min in the royal palace, what were the Korean guards doing? There were only a small number of Japanese radicals who invaded the Korean royal palace. Were the guards too cowardly and hiding from Japanese assassins?

    When Japanese killed the queen, why didn't Korean "patriots" go to Tokyo and assassinate Emperor Meiji in retaliation? Were Koreans too stupid, cowardly, and lazy to kill Emperor Meiji?

  • @kingmannumberone1

    Japanese assassins not radicals, dumbass.

  • @asadal123 is a stupid dumbfuck who can't even answer a simple question. What were the Korean palace guards doing while Queen Min was killed?

    Answer the question you Korean monkey!! The Korean monkey is too ashamed to answer the question.

    Some cowardly Korean palace guards were so scared and were hiding. Some of them received bribes from Japanese and looked the other way while their own queen was killed.

    Asadal is surely a dumbfuck who cannot admit to Korean cowardice.

  • @kingmannumberone1 Answer is simple. Palace guards had swords and spears. Japanese assassins not only had swords but also guns and rifles. It doesn't matter how skilled you are in Martial arts. There's no martial art in the world that will allow you to dodge bullets. That's how the West was won. How Europeans conquered the world. And how Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan. Not with Samurai and swords but with Portuguese muskets.

  • @Xentradi97

    Nobody cares about Hideoyoshi or any Japanese event, because it is irrevelant in East Asian history. The samurai stayed in Japan killing other samurai and inncent people. ^____^

  • @asadal123 It's one thing to be proud of your country and it's the other to be absolutely disrespectful to another. There's alot Korea can learn from Japan and vice verse. And more people around the world studies Japanese culture and history than Korean, tho lately Korean subject is becoming popular. It's one thing to debate in logical manner in defense of your country as I have but it's another to simply trash them out of ignorance. In that sense you're not that different than Kingmannumber

  • @kingmannumberone1 Japanese by 19th century surpassed Korea and China in terms of industrialization by opening itself to the West while Korea and China stupidly closed themselves from it. Lesson learned. It's clear that you're very ignorant on history and details to understand make any rational debate. Spewing rumors and hear says that has no fact to support. Another word, you're an imbecile.

  • @Xentradi97

    So what Jap copied Europeans and used European weapons for massacring Koreans and Chinese.

  • @kingmannumberone1

    LOL Japanese assassins killed Queen Min, so is that part of Japanese culture?? Samurai warriors killing innocent people?? hahhahaha XD yes, another of Bullshito tenets.

  • @Minsang1st

    interesting, makes me want to go research more

  • @kenseisato1989

    Hapkido, yes. The same for Kumdo. TKD, maybe, but is still disputed. Taekkyeon is one of the pure Korean MA still alive. For China, there's no documental proof of Shoalin or Kung fu that is older than Taekkyeon.

  • Remember it's not the style, its the person.

  • I hate all this talk about mma if u wana watch mma go on a mma video sick of hearing about it

  • @specialforces69 thanks man, seriously though, living a life hating other people is a shitty one. hopefully, you will meet some cool Koreans in your lifetime, and you can scratch the hate off of every Korean. Anyways, train hard man.

  • @specialforces69 good luck.

  • @specialforces69 your right, but pretty funny how the minute you leave, you don't really have shit. you joined the military to get benefits no? and i highly doubt i will see you in some major MMA organization. funny. whats going to happen when you need a job? you might end up pushing shopping carts or being a bag boy for Korean supermarkets in LA, so keep the hating to a minimum, maybe a Korean will except you then. ;)

  • @specialforces69 pretty sad how the military has people like you, shame.

  • I don't remember what I said, but I think I was dumb because everything can be used in MMA. I use my choice kicks from Taekwondo in my MMA class. I landed a standing ax kick, and a few spinning hook kicks. btw I use wing chun in my MMA class mixed with boxing... So shuuut up >.> lol

  • Very interesting, effective style. It is quite similar to Chinese Shuai Jiao and Sanda. Nice!

  • whoa... this is way cooler than taekwondo. Tkd also seems to be more karate, yet less useful (that is NOT cause&effect). i wish i learned this along with karate.

  • @razman9 Yes, although people from Taekwondo say that Taekkyun was one of the traditional martial arts that Taekwondo was influenced by, when you compare the two martial arts, it's very different, and hard to find similarities between them. Also, Choi, the founder, was influenced largely by shotokan karate, and the early Taekwondo was almost identical to shotokan karate.

  • @Minsang1st

    No the belt system and white clothing was similar, not forms though.

  • @asadal123 Actually, because Taekkyun was continued as village games and it wasn't very systemized, therefore no belt. Belt system was created by Master Shin Han Sueng, who got Taekkyun designated as the 76th important intangible cultural property Also, Koreans wore a lot of white clothing, which is why they were called people of the white back in the days. By the way taekwondo clothiing is from Shotokan, and Taekkyun clothing is just traditional clothes that Korean people used to wear a lot.

  • @Minsang1st

    Yea, you are right. Shotokan was developed by ethnic Okinawan, not Japanese though. Karate was really Chinese martial arts that gradually developed in Okinawa and transmitted to the Japanese.

  • @Minsang1st Aah, yes. That might be why. In my opinion, shotokan is best as for sport fighting because of the philosophy and use of tactics. Now that I look back on my TKD training, it DID resemble shotokan except with more kicks. Taekkyun looks like the full deal, all around great martial art.

  • thou shall kick a foo in the face ........POW!! right in the kisser

  • gay

  • Hwa rang do is not a traditional korean art it was developed in the twentieth century based on several other arts and the founders simply took the name from the ancient hwa rang order's philosophical traditions. If the hwa rang order did have some kind of codified martial tradition it died out long ago with the silla civilization.

  • taekkyon seems to be more useful in a real one-on-one combat situation.

  • as do most if not all martial arts even if you were ganged up on by a group you only have 8 weapons that can be used effectively only two at a time....

  • @nate295 perhaps 9 including the head? well, but I guess it's not very profitable since you are doing damage to yourself when you use it.

  • @myintbs ya it does seem better than tkd 1v1 doesnt it

  • @myintbs ya it does seem better than tkd 1v1 doesnt it especially the takedowns

  • These guys are not going soft like the other Taekkyun fights I've seen... Wow, these guys kicks look like they hurt, alot. I use to think these guys had no power when they kick, but dang, and I don't even think they are going hard as they can right now... For anyone that says it won't work in MMA... I did some research on these guys, and these guys also trained in Archery, so I think they would kill any MMA fighter quite easy... haha

  • @GuamKomudo

    An MMA fighter probably knows how to operate a firearm... Just sayin'. ;)

  • Korea has nukes, sucka.  =D

  • @icanfeelitinmybones who doesnt...:P

  • Very practical. 

  • taekkyun was a art which was able to survive the japanese ocupation because it was hidden with in tal dance movements (the reason why there was that segment of a guy in a mask and swaying with a fan)

  • 1:04 OWNAGE!

  • amazing

  • けっこうおもろいやん

  • beautiful

  • Looks like this can be used in the cage effectively. seriously

  • well this martial art was used to fight off the japanese in the invasion it was so effective that it killed.

  • Taekkyon is the only martial art that's officially recognized as a national heritage as it retains the original form that has been practiced since ancient times. There are other lesser known arts such as Hanpul. TKD is a modern creation conceived during 50's. It draws its influence heavily from this art but also Japanese Karate and a bit of Chinese Kungfu.

  • So this is Tae Kyon!

    I have read about this art in my history of Tae Kwon do and it was great to finally see it. I can see how Tae kwon Do went from this type of fighting. Yeah TKD is a combo of chineese soft techniques and Japaneese hard techniques. Its evident in the punching and kicking. Loved it!

  • 3:10 aw that sucks he went to high XD! if it was down like 3 inches it woulda been ko XD!

  • I definitely respect Korean martial arts and their uniqueness but I really wish practitioners of said arts would study their history from *objective* sources. There is much fictional history being promoted within the Korean MA world, most of it due to the still ongoing resentment against the Japanese after the occupation. If anything the Japanese injected a huge amount of MA knowledge into Korea. The US though definitely tried to subdue Japanese MA during their occupation of said country.

  • Actually Japan destroyed Korea's MA culture by prohibiting traditional MA and forced Koreans to learn Japanese MA. The Korean MAs like taekkyon, hwarangdo, and etc. are said to have been revived after the occupation. Some like TKD are modern and supposed to be based off of ancient MAs of Korea, but has some Japanese influence as a result of them destroying their culture.

  • Very awesome and it is originated from thousand years in Korean peninsular. It is real fight and strengthen the people and soldiers. So that the Japanese wanted to stop it and not allowed this during 1910-1945. But Mr.Song who was the master of Taekkyon reminded it and could popularized in Korea now. Come to Korea to study it and you will really like it. It is totally different from Judo,Taekwondo and any others.

  • i heard taekwondo was developed by this and a mix of japanese influence, but who knows, this is still very awesome

  • A really like this form. As I practice MMA Im very critical, but this form is quite advanced.

  • With that last kick you can see why they're told not to kick hard

  • 택견의 대부분의 발차기는 타격기가 아니라 밀어내기이기때문입니다. 기본적으로 많은 한국인들이 이미 태권도를 배운 경험이 있기 때문에 본능적으로 많은 부분에서 타격동작이 나오는데 택견은 끊어차는 기술이 비교적 적습니다.

  • because of practice a person TKD

  • So is this the original Korean martial art even before Tang Soo Do and Tae Kwon Do ?

  • Yes it is.

  • 1:23 owned

  • wow!!!!!

  • taek kyon was made by koreans but then the founder of tae kwon do made a new tae kwon do and now no one uses taek kyon. i think taek kyon is tough

  • itf taekwondo was craeted from the hwa rang do that use techniques from the tae kyon and the jujitsu arts and made a new fighting art.

    general Choi Hong Hi made the tuls from the techniques of the hwa rang do and wrote the rulls of tkd itf and called it an ART the korean goverment didnt like the general ideas and forced him to leave the county. he moved to Canada with all the organization and the korean goverment made a shit sport the wtf tkd to compite the original tkd (itf).

  • Don't say bull shit!!!!

    ITF is not the original tkd!!!

    Original tkd is what was tought in the original five kwan of korean karate (kong soo do & tang soo do)...

  • technicaly ITF was the original TKD because it was general choi the founder of ITF TKD who was in charge of unifying the orgininal kwans under then name of taekwondo.

  • in charge of unifying the kwans, but that doesn't mean he picked and chose techniques. not to mention unifying the kwans totally screwed the arts that predated tkd

  • awesome!

  • magnificent art. i can see where taekwon-do gets its kicking techniques from now. i didnt realise the techniques were so similar, and most are the same. awesome :)

  • tae kwon do is the sport version of this ancient art.

  • i disagree. original taekwon-do was developed for the korean armed forces, but yes, there is a form of taekwon-do which can be considered to be sport.

  • what I was trying to say was that most martial arts of today (i.e. martial sports)come from a traditional martial art,but since the invention of fire-arms there has been little use for them in the exception of teaching agressivity & physical fitness development:in were military training is concern.The other application for them is in the modify sports arena much like boxing at one time (before the Duke of Wellintong rules)used to employ all kinds of defense

  • I see from your site that you're a practitioner of ITF TKD,I myself practice WTF TKDO beside jyoshinmon karate-do.Maybe that's why you don't consider tkd a sport art.I agree that TKD was created to unify all the korean martial arts under one banner,but obviously today it has grown into a sport competition.Taekyun obviously employs techniques which would be banned in modern sports for its lethality much like modern sport karate or WKF rules do not allowed for excessive contact in olympic matches

  • sorry. misinterpreted what you said :)

  • great vid. thanks
