PRO TKD is an ITF initiative. Its like the old PKA with your shirt on. Its OK for ITF stylists who want some contact but without the low kicks its a bit lacking. The Korean was a WTF stylist and his hands were awful. Having said that the Croatian was waaay too keen and made some terrible mistakes that would have been sorely punished by a better ITF full contact fighter with some boxing skills.
@MrEllaitch well seeing as hes won every itf pro match hes fought there is nobody better in the itf.Any tkd guy with half decent boxing skills didnt learn it in tkd,they discourage good hands.
@billysue2 The best the ITF have? He looks like crap to me. ITF PRO is very much an Eastern European initiative. As i said earlier he looked like a novice running into the Korean. The thing with ALL martial arts is they are ALL telling you that you are learning the best there is to learn..The Koreans are the worst at that, but have successfully punted WTF TKD right around the globe and well....Olympic style TKD is nothing but full contact tag...its only a sport and nothing more.
@La77a he was world champ in regular itf rules before this and the eastern europeans are the best itf fighters,in fact the only ones worth anything because they fight and train like kickboxers and compete in all competions.WTF is joke ,everyone knows this.
My wonder is, I wonder if the ITF or WTF is affiliated with these "Pro-TKD" matches. I've seen another match under "Pro-TKD" but both fighters were just WTF without the hogu or headgear.
well i think this show that just running around and kicking isnt good enough for a fight... u got to know how to use both legs and hands so what im saying is train kick box and tkd at the same time will be the best and training tkd wtf might be good as a sport but not for self defence or k1 etc...
ya i agree and also someground work. i do tkd but tkd can help in the fight with the right system. i train my hands a lot more because tkd tends not 2 use them so much cuz emergence of sport tkd. if ur a WTF or ITF tkd fighter train ur hands, takedowns and takedown defense and ground fighting (BBJ)
The guy that won must have been ITF registered to compete but maybe he has joint affiliation? I dont realy think this is such a good advert fot TKD as an art as i felt it was just kickboxing with a diferent name
Define "real"? "Real" as in "are there TKD practitioners that train and compete like this"? Then I think the answer obviously is "yes," since there are a few videos of the comps. "Real" as in "do the majority of TKD schools train for fighting like this"? Then the answer is "no."
that dude it the blue was useless...hes lucky the Korean was just as useless

DigitalxTerror 3 years ago
the korean guy knew how to kick.But he obviously never fought without W.T.F. rules.
Comments like owned ,punished,etc probably belong to persons who have no idea about martial arts and no difference from football fanatics.
