Martial Arts Master Ian Morrison breaking beach pebbles World Record

[ThePedrodude]

He is 65 now and still amazing. i train with him at stour centre at the moment!

I remember being his student 10 years ago. I have been in Korea 10 years doing Taekwondo there as an instructor. I have done many different styles of Taekwondo and am currently a student at one academy in Korea. Jidokwan is pure power...of all the styles I have done I remember his techniques as being the most powerful I have come across. Remembering the finer parts of what he said makes breaking for me easy..I can break with my little finger and my back kicks are lethally strong.

thats mehh dad hehe :)

I trained wit this man for 20 years and he produced 8 British champions and open Asian games champion, European champions and had a large part to play in developing some of the best Taekwondo fighters this country has ever seen.

He is a very powerful man with both hand and leg techniques, as well as a very good Aikido practitioner. He also fought in the world championships! Respect!!

some may know him as Ian Wheeler?

[mkultrajos]

@nevrob1 indeed he was known as ian wheeler. i posted this but lost my account so will re post along with some other gems i have! and yes you are right,a very powerful man.

[ogicabp4u]

@nevrob1 yup. before ...he was Ian Wheeler. Maybe something like changing it to his wife's name? I'm not sure. However, when I trained with him he was not / no longer(?) married? He had a girlfriend who was a red belt. Anyway, I don't want to comment too much about his personal private life simply that's the good Mr. Morrison's business. I don't think he minds that people know this though.

tae kwon do is all about the legs, not hands....Just wondering why that guy is breaking beach pepples with his hands while he is an leg user -.- ..Other martial arts which use the hands aswell, could do so much more-.- ..

@geenius3ab I'm guessing that you haven't done much TKD then especially not Jidokwan under master Morrison.

I trained under him for about four years & we learned a range of techniques using most parts of the body at one time or another.

Just because TKD kicks are powerful it does not mean that they are all the art has to offer.

I am slightly saddened that there is not more representative footage of Kwan Jung Nimin action.

@GunboatDiplomat9 do not despair. i posted this originally and lost my account so will put up some more vids of him soon. he is still training and teaching by the way. jos

[ThePedrodude]

@geenius3ab if he knows he can break pebbles then he knows that in a real fight he can easily stop a man, and he trains fighters, and in a real fight you are very unlikely to use kicks

[geenius3ab]

@ThePedrodude You're another one of those ''kicks can't be used in real fights'' ? You have never seen a person do a PROPER kick, which is the only reason you can say what you said.

A proper kick is extremely fast, strong, and hard to see.. The only time that kicks do turn useless is when you let a opponent get RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE (Why would you let the enemy get under your nose?), and even then you can still make some distance, and kick the enemy in the stomach.

[ThePedrodude]

@geenius3ab not at all, just last night my brother got in a fight and kicked the other fella in the face whilst drunk, without the training from Ian that kick would never have landed. I'm just saying that from the few spots of trouble i've been in, people do tend to go right up to you before starting to get aggressive, so the fastest and most effective thing to do is to keep it simple and move in with a fist to the face...

[geenius3ab]

@ThePedrodude You move in?.. There's your problem..

Proper kicks come from mid to long range, which also means that it's from a distance that makes gives you an advantage..

Tae kwon do's specialty is mid to long range kicks and punches. It isn't meant for going in..

[ThePedrodude]

@geenius3ab Oh and by the way I've trained with him for 3 years now + and 5 years in his kiddy class, so i can do, and have used, a "proper kick" thank you very much

[pritchardo92]

Give than man some paracetamol, and a pat on the back.

[robcam73]

I was there too. Trained under this guy for 2 years. A true master.

[matthewtiley]

[josreadsviz]
