Taekwon-Do ITF vs. kickboxing

[RedCityChopper]

таэквондо гтф сцука рулит!!!

[tycoonpark78]

TKD can be divided by two styles: WTF and ITF. WTF stands for What The Fxxx for Olympic games and children. ITF stands for Incredible Tkd Fight for real.

[kociolczp]

git! 

[LukayPL]

awesome :)

[dragonbalzy]

great video. thanks!

[aconchon]

ITF TKD is my religion! Taekwon!

[Sabre809]

There is no best style, its only the person using it. But in my most humble opinion....Brilliantly well timed kick! 0:40

[turkieboyhakan]

finally a real fight

[LeAn434]

[jeankist]

TAEKWON-DO ITF!!! Very good!

[mynameisgyw]

Taekwondaaaaaaayaaaam!

[TAC412]

Hands up son

[hazza3]

Wow! Nice spinning double heel kick(yeah thats the name....long eh)

And yes the red glvoes is a kick boxer. Some KB fights go on without kicks being used. Some fights dont lead into that.

Not a very good fight because the Red gloves just got destroyed. But the blue gloves is very good fighter.

[TheBamBamBoom]

not much kickboxing goin on there... no leg kicks? maybe old style full-contact. great kick though

[tmakidd0703]

i am a second degree in tkd and i sparr wtf and itf and over all they are both great fighting styles but i just love wtf better for sport becuz it is alot more fun...no hands just feet it is alot of fun....itf is better for street another great style but it is alot harder when you sparr. you gotta worry about fists and feet not just feet...but hey i love tkd and sparr both ways either way they are both hell of a fun way to sparr

[meneazavutandrei]

eto bil tkd vs tkd a ne kickboxer, esli eto realno bil kickboxer to on ne doljen bil podstraivotsa pod tkd a doljen bil delati vse kak evo uchili po kickboxing tehnike

[GbLeSsTkD]

Big up to the itf guy! Nice technique

[REDSCOUT3]

I mean at 0:41

[REDSCOUT3]

I feel Sorry for the Kickboxer. At least he tried. D: . In a way, taekwondo and kickboxing goes hand in hand. Taekwondo is mainly like all kicks. In Kickboxing, it combines Taekwondo kicking techniques combined with boxing techniques

[billysue2]

@REDSCOUT3 itf is not all kicks,its exactly like kickboxing with weak hand techs.

[dedlock]

@billysue2 weaker hand what are you talking about? we use our hand just as much as our legs and Kickboxing was dirived from taekwondo,but what i was saying was train in both ITF and WTF taekwondo and its amazing combinding the 2 but no the punchs are not weaker taekwondo strikes are designed to use torque wich make them harder and faster hits

[billysue2]

@dedlock itf tkd uses hands but badly because the coaches have no boxing background,I did itf for 17 yrs and fought in many countries,eastern europe has typically the best hands for tkd.Kickboxing uses karate and tkd kicking,it uses boxing hands obviously.Every style in the world uses torque to punch,you cant punch without it.Tkd discourages hand work,have a look at itf pro,its full contact,the hands are even bad in that and those guys are the best the style has to offer and the toughest lads.

[uncabro]

@billysue2 dude...TKD (ITF of course the traditional) comes from a mixed betwen karate, tae kyon and another one that I dont remember now...so we do how to punch and box...the thing is that per many years the way of combat of TKD was almost pure kicks and only straight punches cuz of the tournaments rules,...so...many fighters train only for tournaments

[billysue2]

@uncabro youre missing the point entirely,just because there are hundreds of hand techs in tkd and there are,does not mean they are useable.Karate is also useles with the hands,if a style doesnt do full contact sparring with head punches it will have useless handwork.The only tkd lads with decent hands are ones who crosstrain in full contact styles,stephen tapilatu was 1 of those,zelg galesic another and mark weir another.The other style youre thinking of was the 8 kwans trained in korea.

[uncabro]

@billysue2 very good point...but is up to the instructor to teach techniques and use whether be in full combat, the streets or tournaments.....Bruce Lee once said: "if you want to defeat a martial artist who has train 15 years....train box and wrestling for a year...and he will be yours" so you have a good point bro, but not because we punch in a way in tournaments we are going to punch the same in others combats

[billysue2]

@uncabro what youll find is that the way you spar is the way you fight under pressure,een in self defense.If traditional punching was going to come out in self defense,why doesnt it show itself under the pressure of sparring full contact.Self defense shouldnt be sparring,it should be a 1 sided asswhupping initiated by surprise on the attacker,if he defends or attacks you first it will become more give and take and very risky.

[dedlock]

i do wtf and ITF and i fight with my hands down and ill tell u what if u want to be really good you will train in both wtf hep u learn to read peoples movments alot more and i have done both for alot of years one is not better then the other but when u put both together unstopable in striking,

justin bock USTF national champ 2009

[billysue2]

@dedlock wtf tend to be better,faster kickers but the style is a joke,it isn fighting.ITF is much more effective,its kickboxing really but boxing isnt really taught properly.The coaching in wtf is better due to olympic status the rules are an embarrassment.

[tapeduck21]

What does itf means?

[alexchu9]

@tapeduck21 ITF is the International Tae Kwon Do Federation. For a long while, it and the WTF (World Tae Kwon Do Federation) were the only two, however there is now the ITF, WTF, ICTF (International Chang'Hon TKD Federation), and the GTF (Global TKD Federation). To my knowledge, ITF, GTF, and ICTF all originated from what was the ITF largely over political conflicts.

[meneazavutandrei]

@tapeduck21 international taekwondo federation

[subaru84]

@minase0906 a Muay Thai match, probably. Different sports, different rules. In a full contact ITF match, or in Kickboxing rules, absolutely not. Thai boxers lose the elbows and knees, so ITF and Muay Thai are left with basically the same tools and allowed targets.

[ernestodeorozco]

Ohh heck what a knockout!!!!

[yimmiytube]

full contact karate but called kickboxing to upgrade themselves in the 80s,as they lost so many.all the world [so call] champions full contact karate.ask chuck norris,the jets.all long pants Korean stylists. look in old blackbelts mags for more info. thay took tang soo do .i dont know much about itf.same thing??? need info.

[RapOwnerz]

WTF is a complete diferant type of fighting style

ITF rep im rpoud of my 2nd degree LOL

[gprox1]

GOOOOOOOOD TAEKWONDO ITF !

[edguido92]

eso es boxeo frances , D:

[br3akd4ncing]

@ 1:27 the taekwondo dude is chillin' like hwoarang :P

Taekwondo ITF all the way!

[piccolom86]

molodets!!!

[DW01]

Probably one of the best kick ko's i've seen in Kickboxing - and it appears to be from a TKDer.

[br3akd4ncing]

@DW01

It was the taekwondo itf fighter who did the kick. You don't learn that in kickboxing.

and look at his hand position, thats how black belts stand.

BTW for you people who don't know, the blue gloved fighter is Taekwondo-ITF and he kicked ass with the pwnage K.O

[DW01]

@br3akd4ncing

Yeah you do learn the spinning-back-kick in kickboxing, but then again it is usually not practiced so much in full contact fights.

[TelosBudo]

poor guy. that was brutal

[GuamKomudo]

I love to see that real TKD is still real and not all the schools only teach the dumb sport... I went to a ATA Taekwondo school before, and its hard to remember not to punch them in the face cause they always have their hands hanging down lol

[simpdogg69]

I"m a 1st degree Black Belt and I loved the Kick to the head. ITF and wtf are 2 different art form and i believe they should both be in the Olympics. ITF sparring you have to play it like a chess match and you have hands and feet to worry about and it's more realistic for the streets if your in a fight and your fighting with you hands down your asking for trouble but in ITF we spar with our hands up ready for anything

[chrisgeorgegray]

@simpdogg69 any martial art that goes into the Olympics gets fabricated and it becomes a career not a way of life.

[chrisy725]

nice one..... :) i train in A.I.M.M.A mix between ITF & WTF

[hellmec94]

aguante tkd loko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[midhattt]

uuuh... this is both kickboxing..

This guy changed the title xD

I love taekwonde FTW!!!!

[br3akd4ncing]

Noo, the person who KO'd the other dude is taekwondo!

Taekwondo PWNS! Glad i do it, instead of that shitty, puff sport where they wear massive pads.

[wycliffe35]

Was the guy ok????? whoever put up this post?

I'm a wuss I only do semi-contact TWD...watching this I know why lol...

[MilitantBlackGuy1]

semi contact TKD is what ITF TKD is always sparred as.

[wycliffe35]

Thanks for your info - I'm a TAGB member...which is also the same.

Those kicks did not look pulled to me though, hence the post; however to be honest neither were many of mine during my comp career.

[iceywolf1]

@MilitantBlackGuy1 not always there is full contact in itf

[DW01]

Do you mean semi-contact continuous sparring? If so, that's what i always did in my younger days. The reason why i ask is that just saying 'semi-contact' nowadays seems to refer to that stupid stop/start points fighting crap, and not continuous sparring.

[MilitantBlackGuy1]

No semi contact has always meant no strikes with elbows or knees and no strikes below the waist i think. Well to me anyway.

[DW01]

And what style is it you do? Sounds like Muay Thai to me, not kickboxing, as kickboxing doesn't have elboy strikes in sparring anyway.

[iceywolf1]

i love that scream when he got hit i love the knock out even more itf tkd ftw

[26jess]

oh shit (quiting my wtf black belt and going to itf!)

[wushustuntman]

You do that brother someone has seen the light finally

[nurseballadir]

wtf rules to

[kkamilezz]

COOL!!!! Tae Kwon - Do ITF rulezz !!!! nice KO

[theone7477]

Taekwondo RULEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[br3akd4ncing]

YEAAA!

[ichaichaparadice]

typical kickboxer........ his hands are all over the place, everywhere except wehre he needs to use them to block

TKD ITF all the way!

[fadzli14212212]

which one tkd

[wushustuntman]

The one that jump kick that guy into next week.

[evilhybridchicken]

wow! great technique, good to see that with tkd it is not always the big guy that wins :)

[AcrossandOver]

The blue tkdist is skilled.

Red guy should've trained more =P

[energyrocket]

540 :)=

[JunbiSijak]

Cool~! ITF Rules~! WTF Sucks~!

[neoxshadow]

What makes you say that lol?

[minu08]

very nice kick poor dude should kept up a betta guard

[Rice8Daddy]

that would have been very difficult, if you look closely the first kick was deliberately mid-section so he would bring his arms down to block, although he probably shouldn't have brought two arms down,

[arbkhan]

its called teo mumdolio chagi in korean. well its a modified version of teo mumdolio with a roundhouse fake

[MilitantBlackGuy1]

The ITF Taekwondo guy should kneel down and face the other way out of respect. That's how he should have been taught when in ITF competitions.

[saimanlim]

Does anyone know what this kick is called?

A roundhouse jump turn back-kick?!

Absolutely beautiful.

[lasthope343]

we call it jumpning back kick or jumping beo kick

[deathxisapromise]

this is beautiful

[timmafee0]

wow! see his head snap back. real skill and power nice kick

[Tkdpamplonah]

this the real tkd!not WTF

[q9421324o]

@Tkdpamplonah yes.ITF is martial arts.WTF is a sport!! yea!!

[Simonyboy]

this is the first time ive actually seen the double back kick in use.

this is also the first time i pissed my pants from euphoria.

[ko2es]

kill kick;;

[masamune702]

OMG!! lol awesome vid!! ITF owns!!

[tkddemon]

WTF and ITF are incomparable. I've trained in both. ITF only allows you to punch to the head and the padding is positioned differently as ITF is predominantly semi-contact. Unless you are willing to make a level playing field there is no way to match the two evenly.

[rudolf1488]

jauajuajaujua nice video ;D

[tyebo87]

awesome. i wanna shows this vidoe to all the tkd bashers. why cant itf be in the olyimpics and not wtf. itf is clearly more practical.

[MaDrung]

Because WTF is more sport oriented.

[mamadoritos]

No way! This doesn't have anything to do with the question. ITF is as much oriented as a sport as WTF. Only is a little bit more violent [and pretty xD]

[bibihang]

Sparring is jz a small part from ITF. Many ppl hv missed the martial art part of ITF.

[shue3303]

omg.

That kick was insane.

[iceywolf1]

yay i feel proud aboutbeing a traditanal taekwodo student

[Dince011]

Absololutely flawless. But a little harsh on your friend there.

[MrTylerDurden]
