Trust me, in WTF sport sparring "blocking" with hands is foolish. You will not succeed. - There is no punching to the head. The game is 95% kicking above the waist full contact. You will not succeed "blocking" with your hands in that game (Olympic TKD).
Starting this year (2012), the WTF is emphasizing punching more than it ever has in the past. WTF Olympic style tournaments will recognize and even encourage punching as much as kicking. Korean combat style TKD/Kickboxing is much different than tournament style and incorporates kicks, punches, knees, elbows, throws, sweeps and limited grappling. Many Olympic style trained TKD folks make an easy transition into full contact combat style Korean kickboxing.
Yes Gomergilligan you are right that a mixture between hands and feet can be more effective but the martial art of taekwondo is an art of the foot, and also ITF is no contact and some attacks ive seen in ITF would have little to no effect on somebody.
Gomergilligan the WTF regulates tournaments and is not a style. The kukkiwon is who actually gives out the Dan certifications and sets curriculum. So, if you talk about WTF tkd limitations it is about competition rules and limitations but they're not the whole of tkd nor does it show the full kukkiwon curriculum which even includes taekdowns and sweeps knees elbows and other kicks which are not legal in tournament
vipa567 anyone would dominate for what they train for, muay Thai in the ring with their rules tkd on the mat with their rules. True match up no rules no ring fully clothed with shoes, no uniform no gloves.
@gomergilligan Well you're right, hands and feet is more effective. But in competition, WTF is a sport, ITF is a fighting competition. Thats why WTF is an olympic sport and ITF isn't.
@Vipa567 lol i would love to see you spar against a black belt TKD practicioner and when youre done still say they have many openings and can be easily defended against
For people who say Taekwondo is useless I can assure you it is not. I've taken Taekwondo for nearly 5 years and am a first degree black belt. I can tell you that if you mix it with another sport for a street fight, YOUR SET. I took time off and took boxing for 2 years, or else it would have been 7 years of Taekwondo for me. Now my kicks and punches are great and if I mix them up, its hard to keep up. So please, Don't tell me its useless. This is already enough proof that it is useful.
@213Tkd Yeah, I'm haven't took any form of martial arts but that's the same thing I was thinking. It looks like if you mix it up then you will be deadly.
@213Tkd What a lot if these commenters don't understand is that the man is more important than the style. A fit strong man with no martial arts training will always beat a fat slob who is trained in a martial arts style, regardless of what style it is. So all these douchebags saying "zomg ninjitsu or whatever is the real shit" are just buffoons. Bruce Lee called martial arts "expressing the human body", and he was dead right.
@hcdub Yes, but it's hard to when kicks are most common, if you can get close, you can punch, but I think World Taekwondo Federation doesn't count punches to the head.
That might be true but I've never had any problems with it since my first kick of that sort and let me tell you that I am overweight. I think you should try practicing to stand on one foot for as long as possible and try to keep you body leaned back and head tilted forward (not downward) during the kick.
no offense to your knowledge....but ppl with capabilities as shown in this video are trained and cool-headed enough to not get into street fights......infact......ppl with real knowledge of martial arts AVOID getting into mindless brawls .....i might be wrong though, abt some bad apples...
correctomondo .....the real essence of martial arts is the mental control that comes with it.....i am myself 2nd Dan in Shotokan Karate.....and having the knowledge that i can FIGHT when i HAVE to allows me to walk away with inner peace from any screaming jabroni without having to punch the shit out of him
@PRODAxG What you see in the video is 'real fighting' but I think you mean street fighting. Most REAL and GOOD martial artists avoid street fighting because you really can seriously hurt people with out gear/padding and especially with no martial arts background. Also some martial arts schools may prohibit any kind of fighting outside the school. I know mine does.
@PRODAxG It's very rare that you'd see ANY type of martial arts used in a streetfight, because most martial arts forbid street fighting. I know my dojo would kick me out if i get involved in one, even if it's just a school yard fight.
@mcgee1231 How's it feel to have wasted 9 years on a useless style of martial arts. Oh and in response to any comeback you may have, how many mixed martial artists practice taekwondo? Kicking only is ineffective.
@djk28161: don't get all cocky, they're called fighters for a reason. When a TKD fighter fights a boxer like u.. Ur fcked as long as they keep their distance...
Don't get me wrong punches are great too but ur being ignorant
@Kanganator1996 a real black belt tkd fighter from a real school, not the schools where they just hand it to you in a year, but from a real school, a black belt tkd fighters kick should be guarentee knock out and bone breaking worthy, theirs a reason those fighters have so much gear
The videos at the end with the blue and red made the red matchup seem more experienced, with the kicks, but when he returned from a kick, he was very sloppy, which can make him very unbalanced and vulnerable. He should work on his rests more often. Even though this was from a while ago from the date at the top right corner.
Uh Oh. This Australian guy's gettin all pissy. You gonna throw a boomerang at someone, mate? Yeah, Australian's are so tough. Are you gonna sick your dingo on someone there, mate? Haha!
i just started taekwondo 2 weeks ago this vid and countless episodes of fight quest and human weapon convinced me that this is the most awesome fighting sport.
That stuff sure looked pretty. Not being allowed to use hand high-section hand techniques sure changes the game. The head isn't covered as much, there's no incentive for the combatants to come in, so it begins to look more like a dance. Still, a fun vid to watch.. Thumbs up

@Vipa567 the only reason for these openings is because of the tournament rules of TKD. why try to block points when you could just outscore or KO
these guys reach black belt not by just kicking but by all around self-defense knowledge.
