@DSMANDARIN most sparrers put thier hands down because they work faster like that. and because it keeps u more relaxed and uses less engergy. even if his hands where up he would still get ko. he shuld have slide or step back or duck.
nice vid man i too have posted a vid of myself come and check it out leave a comment of what you thought and pass it on to other people every one is welcome cheers
Does anybody know about the sort of Son Tae Jin? I have seen it on TV, but can't find i anywhere. You see him train, and talk about the winning of the olympic title. And you him throw som awesome kicks at a sandbag, with very high speed.
i know it's late, but to those saying that he should've put his hands up, if you watch the slow motion replay, he did have his hands up in the block that most korean competitors use when they're about to be hit;
his right arm was angled downwards and the other arm came across to the right side to try and cover his chin and face, but the kick went right around his guard
No matter how strong the guy is theres no muscle to protect his rips thats why they have the chest protecter. YOu just get a guy angry when you punch his chest but to the rips he is going down. P.s stop making fun of tko cause you just look stupid.
man, around 0:45, u see his left foot kinda shaking? his nervous system was shaken quite badly. u can never truly know how to win, if u don't know how to lose. hes a champion.
Damn! That kick was so devastating, that Son Tae-jin's foot was shaking between 0:43-0:45,
For me, it's really embarrassing to get KO'ed when you are an Olympic gold medalist, but it's not his fault, besides, it's harder to be in the national team of Korea, than to win a gold medal in the Olympics for Korean jins.
wrong.... the olympics is on another level bro. especialy in terms of competition. The korean nationals is obviously insanely high level, but other countries fighters are getting better these days. Iran, Afgh, Turkey, Greece, Chinese Taipei all have fighters beating the koreans. Olympics is where every country sends their best athletes. its not at all money based
to trevinrs: it seems to me that you do not know the difference bewtween punch by hands and turing kick. hands up stance cannot absorb the power of turiing kick.
try taking a Muay Thai kick to the head with and without your hands up and see how it feels.
It's simple physics. Once the kick lands on the hand, it travels through foam, skin, muscle, and bone before it reaches the head, with the force dissipating the entire time. If it lands flush on the head, there is no shock absorption.
to trevinrs: i try to understand what you want to talk about. however, i do not think such a hands upping absorbs th e power of twd kicking, especially turn out kicking.
also people cannot do hands up because they cannot expect the direction of the kick.
Obviously, having your hands up while getting kicked will save you from some brain damage. That's natural. There is nothing wrong with blocking in TKD. I do it and I compete nationally. That goes for punching as well.
I will also say absorbing a tornado kick to the head with the hands up is not wise as well. The force will still travel to the head and give you some serious confusion. My advice...move. But TKD uses thin gloves.
to GTcO, hands-upping itself is not bad at all. however, in taekwondo, nobody can predict the direction of kicking. it is so fast and unpredictable. if one hands-up, the other can kick one's belly. so hands-upping is not effectictive at all. the best way is to keep distance or clinching.
Hi, I have to say something. Moving is a great defense "on" TKD because keep your hands "up" make you move slowly and it cannot protect your body and your head as the same time. Furthermore, a kick is more quick than a brain response so you don't have the time to protect completly your head and do it efficiently.
no one has ever won a major national or international tournament in taekwondo in the past 30 years with a high guard, despite Taekwondo being the most competitive martial art on the planet. The low guard developed from the fighting, not from theory. High guard simply does not hold up in a kicking based competition.
If you disagree, go enter nationals in your country with your high guard, and post the vid.
agreed. People that dont do tkd or ever taken a kick think putting your arm up will save you from a fucking kick to the face. Chances are the force will just go right through your guard.
mm it's preference.. blocking sometimes makes you loose balance, it's why some people prefer to dodge it cause it's easier for counter sometimes... just stfu and enjoy the knock out ^^
You have to move all the time and keep a good distance. At tournament, fighter, keep their hands down to move quickly but sometime they don't move too protect them. So hands down + no moves = A perfect target ! I'm sorry for this olympic champion but son tae jin made a huge mistake.
Come on guys Son Tae Jin is still so young. Its true he got careless for a second but making mistakes is also part of the human condition even for an olympic champion.
But i think that KO is important for him so he´ll be more careful in the future and im sure that Son Tae Jin will be back soon.
Hi; Phillip this are just awesome videos congratulation!,are you korean?i would like to watch some videos of the gold medalist athens 2004 Moon Daesung you know like when he started,i've studied him and learned so much from only one video so i guess i can learn more if i watch more videos here's my E-mail in case you can tell me where i can find that info
aahhh como son animales, como va a morir, admito k fue un buen golpe pero en el tae kwon do tambien se cuida mucho la integridad de cada competidor y no murio solamente se desmayo y ya...
come on guys!!haha nothing happened to him!!no injuries ,nothin!!!my friends before one week were in korea they played against him hes still playing with Samsung team . :)
que mal vale..! pero eso no quiere decir nada ese men es muy bueno, eso son cosas q pasan y que no quiere decir que a bajado el nivel si no es como dicen aqui en VEN eso fue un lechaso del otro competidor, aun q alla el nivel es demasiaaado...
he is a champ!!!the best player ever!!but u know thats a lesson!!!that every big champ could fall down!!!but its alright!!!he will catch up next year i hope!!!
Taekwondo is a sport and the reason WHY they dont put their hands up is, it is so must faster to block a leg (kick) that is coming from the bottom... if that makes any sense.. its not like blocking punches where it comes straight at you or from the top (overhand right or left)
Hey dumbasses, this is not just about how good, or dumb fight is it. an olympic champion being knocked out on front of everyone, it was bigger the psycological shock than physical.
but he addmitted that he lost, and he said,
"it was a good fight, i losed. and i feel that i fallen at the very bottom. but now, all that is left is to climb up"
People that think this knockout is a result of keeping your hands down have never been on the receiving end of a Spin Hook kick of that caliber. Watch any K-1 Fight, the best knock out's come from kicks to the head, and they all have their hands up. The fact of the matter is TKD players are the fastest kickers on the planet and you just never know where a kick is going to land so keeping your hands up will just delay the inevitable. Ignorant comments like these are truly from the uninitiated.
mm...also i forgot... being k.o'd doesnt mean that u are not a good fighter... i've been tko'd in me third professional MT fight and then i came back so my point here is that u shouldnt criticize tae jin ...because he is the olympic champion! and u cant achieve that if u are not good!...end of story
holy shiiit!!....all right i must say! ....that i wasnt expecting this... =S....but well... i should also say... that maybeb they should fight more often with their hands up...fast kick though..
Son Tae Jin is the LAST person I would've expected to show up on youtube getting knocked out, and right after the Olympics. oh well. He's still a great fighter.
My coach always says..the guy that gets knocked out and comes back will be a champion... once your knocked out your not scared to go forward anymore. Cool shit tho. Steven lopez got knocked out
u guys should just stop criticising n all..he's a good fighter but sometimes shit happens..so what if he got KO altho he was an olympic champion..its korea,wad do u expect..there's always someone better or someone that can outsmart u ..dats why korea always have different ppl going in for olympics u dumb ass..if u dun have any respect for Son Tae Jin or any other Tae Kwon Do fighters then stop watching Tae Kwon Do videos...
Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, Michael Johnson and many other greats have also lost battles. That doesn't mean they were not the best at what they did. Even till this day, they are the best at what they do. Son Tae Jin is still the best at what he does so do not feel so bad. He will recover and still be the best. God Bless.
If he just would have kept his hands up all of this could have been avoided. TKD stylists never keep their dukes up. Ever. It's the first thing we get taught in kojyu ru karate.
u want to say in ur karate fighters don't get hit in the head because their hands are stick to their head? u r master to say what is wrong with otherstyle? son tae jin olympic champion and u must pray u don't meet such a talanted fighter in ur ring
what are you talking about? not teaching enough defense? Most tkd schools teach hapkido and other self defense..what your seeing is sport..tae jin just got caught off
dude seriously, this is not the video for you to post FUCKING stupid comments like that. Go to my other video that has the most views that has all the other idiots commenting about putting their hands up. This video is for people who know son tae jin is. Seriously. Shut the fuck up.
There really isnt a need to keep your hands up in tkd...you can move your head a foot back at the least by just leaning back...thats why theres slide black roundhouse pattachagi... most just dont understand.
Steven Lopez got KO'd in the Pan Am Qualifer prior to 2000 Olympics then went to be the most successful TKD in history. Don't know what Son Tae Jin was thinking just standing there.
lols... No big deal.. Son Tae Jin lost alot of times and got KO'ed numberless times when he started but i guess hes really disappointed with this match.. Just like people say you can never say whoes the best noone is the best.. Anyways hopefully Tae Jin gets hes hope and glory back..
Getting ko'd is a really tough way to go out especially with a reputation and all that pressure on you from being an Olympian. Looking forward to a rematch.
haha i guess i suck at translating. yea it sounds like he gave up all hope if you directly translate to english, but what the korean subtitles said was that he's gone through some real tough times and things can only get better.
ive practised them loads and loads and mine are deadly fast too...not in a bragging way. I was told by someone to concentrate on axe kicks and reverse kicks as Im tall. Once you can bang them out fast one after the other it tends to make the opponent think. Keeps people on their toes :)
anyone can get ko'd by spinning hook kick.thats one of the techniques that most surely to score ko once land.even half power is enough.

dude seriously, this is not the video for you to post FUCKING stupid comments like that. Go to my other video that has the most views that has all the other idiots commenting about putting their hands up. This video is for people who know son tae jin is. Seriously. Shut the fuck up.

There really isnt a need to keep your hands up in tkd...you can move your head a foot back at the least by just leaning back...thats why theres slide black roundhouse pattachagi... most just dont understand.

Steven Lopez got KO'd in the Pan Am Qualifer prior to 2000 Olympics then went to be the most successful TKD in history. Don't know what Son Tae Jin was thinking just standing there.

if he cant come back up from a big loss like all the other greats, he doesnt deserve to be great.

lols... No big deal.. Son Tae Jin lost alot of times and got KO'ed numberless times when he started but i guess hes really disappointed with this match.. Just like people say you can never say whoes the best noone is the best.. Anyways hopefully Tae Jin gets hes hope and glory back..

Getting ko'd is a really tough way to go out especially with a reputation and all that pressure on you from being an Olympian. Looking forward to a rematch.

Were the annotations really what it said? Is he done?
CASteel1 2 years ago
haha i guess i suck at translating. yea it sounds like he gave up all hope if you directly translate to english, but what the korean subtitles said was that he's gone through some real tough times and things can only get better.

aw son tae jin got ko'd :(
that was a really fast hook though
sooistheshiet 2 years ago
ive practised them loads and loads and mine are deadly fast too...not in a bragging way. I was told by someone to concentrate on axe kicks and reverse kicks as Im tall. Once you can bang them out fast one after the other it tends to make the opponent think. Keeps people on their toes :)
