Tae Kwon Do Sparring at 2008 World Championships Chattanooga

I'm liking the jump front to round - 3 pointer. Cool.

I appreciate your constructive criticism. I can see a lot of what many of you had said. The rest of you are being ignored. I need to learn how to delete comments with offensive language.

did you see a guy over there named mr william cothren if so he is my instructor

[Immovableobject91]

@airsoftboi1104 He's mine too.

[airsoftboi1104]

@Immovableobject91 realy what skewl u go to

[Immovableobject91]

@airsoftboi1104 well, I was in TKD when he had the La Place school. I was in it for 7 years. I plan on going back. When I go back, I'll be "Mr. Tim Sibley's" student, but Mr. Cothren will always be my real instructor.

@Immovableobject91 ya i qas in it until my second month of having my 1st degree leval 2 black belt but im glad he gave the la place skewl to mr sibley mr s is my frend on facebook

[Immovableobject91]

@airsoftboi1104 He's my friend on facebook too. I run into Mr. Sibley and his family from time to time. I can't wait till I go back....I'll need to get a job first cuz it's expensive. lol.

Fuccking retard wearing shoe and shit.

I know how sparring feels. I went up against Mr. Dempsey once. Best match of my life. All i would say is just try to keep your hands up. I noticed when you were kicking, your hands were spaced out. Bring them closer and try not to let them flail everywhere. I've done this a lot as well. lol.

[lothsunv5]

that was terrible. i would have been all over you. never hold back. no matter if its a tournament, class, or a real life situation. if you practice like that then you will do it in real life.

[jilscot]

Why do you have to tear it down? I only spar like that for tournaments, and I didn't want to hurt that lady. In class with solid black belts I rarely use a single round kick for anything. I'm open to criticism to help me grt better, but some of you need to realize that I am a graduate student mother of 2 who loves this art but does not want to risk serious injury.

Ok, some positive criticism...IF you like the ITF style of TKD then do yourselves a favour and look at some postings by ITFukraine..its ITF style TKd but these guys can fight. Drop the points.

[brwnluva]

what a bunch of sh*T! this is why i quit this stuff..it used to be USTA..but now this tiger bull crap is terrible..forget the point sparring..what happens when you put any of these ladies on the streets against a real attacker..they going to round kick them to five points?? sorry both mr. kollars, mr. monroe, mr. swift, mr. hoadly, and the whoever the last dude is..get a better system

[MrEllaitch]

Cannot believe these are blackbelts....almost as bad as ATA TKD...but not quite! get some fluidity in your movements, learn some footwork, loosen up those shoulders.. snap out those hands, be creative not just ape the stolid movements of your instructor....try another style?
