[lldminh]

Actually, there is no best martial arts; with any martial arts, it takes many years of training to be any good!

[cadastro02]

ke bosta luta nada

vamos ver eles lutando contra alguem ke sabe muay thai se esses cara sua ele

[RichardGrey1]

@cadastro02 hahaha pinche sudaca, el taekwondo NO deportivo puede ponerse contra alguien de Muay Thai, sin embargo esto es una competencia deportiva no a matar.

[graceetaekwondo]

@sniper5311 - you are very verryy VERRRYY right :)

[yesidelkin]

vealo

[Albunack]

wow way to fight with your HANDS DOWN>>>YOUR CHEST AND WHOLE BODY IS OPEN

[sharex2000]

@Albunack well it's because they have fast reflexes that's why. not all kicks that are targeted on open body score points. Another technique for that is enticement, having the chance of a counter attack. But remember the way they fight is in sports. whole different thing if in real life situations if you fight these guys.

[MrThatguy1312]

Good combination fast kick roundhouse then back kick

[serdarguy12]

Heres Daishi !Use panding and then turn your back -Half-A to the direction where your back is then BACK KICK!A great cobination :P

[serdarguy12]

I mostly use Vushi :P you wont have to be bothered to stay in ground and to want to move but cant!

[crazymarga]

haha!alala ko ung 1st fight ko! natalo ko! dmi ko warnings..just because hindi ko masipa ung  target.. puro mababa ung kicks..kya puro legs ang sapul.. 7/3 ang score non!

xD

[musslimPK]

can u use ur fist by teakwanods???

can i attck to lower part of teh body like legs??

[heartbeatheat]

Yes you can use your fists but if doesnt score as many points, and you would have to get closer and take the risk of getting kicked on the way out. And below the waist and the neck and back is not allowed.

[DTIESTO16]

yes you can use your fist... in ITF taekwondo you even punch in the face...

no you can not atack the lower part of the body...

[Destoniye]

omfg, i live in aussie and its is so hard to find a good class close to home... it looks so fun but my balls would get a beating >.> my poor kids

[Pepiinaa07]

i do taekwondo and i can say that its' one ofthe best disciplines i've ever learnt.. You can learn a lot of thing that are very useful in the life,

[WTFsuckskwondo]

The Oaths of the WTF Suckskwondo Student

(1) I shall observe the tenant of WTF Suckskwondo, (2) I shall always bow to the Master's and Grandmaster's ass's, (3) I shall always address the Master and Grandmaster as "Your Ass", (4) I shall never use Suckskwondo in the ring and the streets, (5) I shall always remember to fight with both hands down, and (6) I shall be a champion of buying blackbelts and Dans.

[xxanthony14xx]

i agree with this but also its a little too harsh man #5 of the real ITF(real TKD) oaths is to make a more pieceful world

[TaeTaeDo]

Karate has a much longer history than WTF TaeTaeDo. The first public demonstration of Karate in Japan was in 1917 (WTF was founded in 1973). Although the World Karate Federation has over 130 member countries, Karate has yet to be voted an Olympic sport. But why WTF TaeTaeDo is an Olympic sport? The success of WTF TaeTaeDo's inclusion in the Olympics has often been clouded in scandal and attributed to Dr. Kim Un Yong. He is best known for his bribery conviction and alleged bribery of IOC members.

[chrischerc]

I never get tired of watching these Tkd clown fighters ! Its amazing to watch them in Tkd video after Tkd video fighting with virtually no guard then getting knocked out with kicks to the head ! Can they be that ignorant? Are their teachers so dumb? I guess so. Keep scamming Tkd , you should have most of the worlds money in another 10 years with the JOKE you call TKD. All based on lies and scams. The world is too trusting. GROW UP !

ISSHINSENSE ON YOUTUBE

[ULTRATHUNDERGOD]

My god are you like 12? Fucking retard.

[chrischerc]

Your speaking from youth ( 18 ) and inexperience . Maybe after 40 years tou will have a different opinion. Here are some of my credentials kid.

40 years in isshinryu karate, 3 years aikido. judo, ju-jitsu, boxing, nerve point and anatomy study 10 years, chinese meridian theory and study 12 years, owned and operated 6 schools, seminar study with Dillman, Moneymaker and Patrick McCarthy.-

[ULTRATHUNDERGOD]

You think youre some kind of karate master or something? I would go 3 rounds with you anyday. My Muay thai, regular boxing and submission wrestling vs your karate ishinryukashinkido.

[chrischerc]

Sure be here tomorrow at my school kid. I toss infants like you around like a salad , in my 40 years never wore gear like the bullseyes you idiots wear. See you tomorrow then eh?

[ULTRATHUNDERGOD]

Yeah sure Ill be at your school after you come to Sweden you idiot... I dont wear any gear except gloves fatty you really think youre Bruce Lee dont you? A couple of rounds with Bonjasky, Anderson Silva, Couture or Gonzaga and you would be praying to get out of the ring. Do you compete in your silly karate? Have you ever tried any of the shit you teach?

[chrischerc]

For 40 years you imbecile. Ate little shits like you for breakfast. I'm using your language now because you are a fucking moron brainwashed by your fucking know nothing udiotic masters. Go finish sucking your ba ba and email back when your grown up you brainless shit.

[ULTRATHUNDERGOD]

So you ran around in your ridiculous costume beating up 18 year olds for 40 years that makes you a karate master? Haha jesus christ my trainers would beat the shit out of you in a fight...

[chrischerc]

Who said anything about 1a year olds? By Little shits I was referring to alleged Tkd Masters.Another example of a brainwashed Tkd student who likes to add their twisted views on things. One of the reasons tkd is such a mess ! By trainers you do mean toilet training, right?

[ULTRATHUNDERGOD]

Yeah who said anything about 1a year olds? Not me thats for sure. So? TKD is a womens sport. It doesnt work in real life I never said I practiced TKD. Its funny you joking about my age when I would beat you unconscious with ease.

[chrischerc]

Sure God if you believe Tkd is so great ,you'll believe anything that empty head can come up with ! I will not entertain any more idiotic comments from you, they will just be ignored as I do other immature , incompetant , imbeciles that can't get complete thoughts together. Good luck with your next thunderbolt Thor. See ya- wouldn't want to be ya!

[no4go2]

seen this chris guy post before thunder, he comes on tells how great his style is how one of his students take on 15 bad guys and wins. Then if you disagree with him he starts with the name calling crap. Show's insecurity in his art and imaturitty on his part. you will notice he will not come to your school and back up what he is saying. He challenges but when you acept the challenge and ask him to come and prove it he backs down. always with an excuse and then personal attacks.

[neilmma]

awesome

[reptilfreak666]

geiles lied

[MathFrenzel]

iran is very good in taekwondo..

[Raiden526]

its actually a shock to me that they are.

[liquidmeat]

looks like you guys needed a lesson on WTF taekwondo. I read some more comments and alot of you dont know how the sport works

[waffleshead]

The only reason i hate this is because nobody keeps their guards up... sheesh.

[FU0C0]

Yea i kinda noticed that, even though instructors constantly drill into your head the importance of guarding. maybe, by exposing yourself, you lure your opponent into attacking you allowing you to counter...i dunno =/ anyone else care to add input?

[Jikashifu]

well, the black belts at my studio said they were told to keep their hands down, and instead of blocking kicks, they were suppose to evade them.

[liquidmeat]

that would be a very bad idea.

1. No momentum from arms

2. leaves your body open ( the main source of scoring points)

3. blocks vision.

Your kicks start from your arms, then your hips then the knee.

In taekwondo a knockout is not expected, they are rare as kicks are mostly directed to the body to score a point.

having your body look open lures the enemy in so you can counter them and score a point instead, thats why you see alot of bouncing and no kicking sometimes.

[daniphobic]

im sorry, korea's the founder of the game.

and the best..

cant argue with that =PP

[PottyMouthPops]

true

[sniper5311]

wefew

[sniper5311]

tkd is the best and very very strong sport of defeses

[thehallowedelegy]

@sniper5311 sport of defense? ummm...i would not say so in context that A: this kind of tournament fight does not truly simulate combat, B: i see them backing up, evading, slight blocks with hands etc. rather than defending and C: it seems to make sense to hold ur hands up, even if ur mainly a kicker (i.e., it provides natural defense) then again, i'm no taekwondo student, therefore i don't exactly know their theories...

[alleb1357]

@sniper5311 de feces?

[XxmcdxX]

hey guys if u all want more powerful tkd that cannot be found in the olympics. go korea.

[tkdman14]

they need to pick their hands up and block and counter

[ElementStyker]

In the self defence version they do, but in sport they dont, everyone keeps saying thats stupid but its not if they did the could break bones, they have a thing similar to blocking its called covering its more safe for sport

[richman1979]

oh come on, on muai thai, they block much harder punches. so is there any other reason for having hands down in WTF? i like ITM much better

[ICP2291]

First off maui thai punchs are no were near as strong as taekwondo kicks muai thai kicks dont even come close do some research and it does help when you have 2 big pillows over each hand lol fight a tkd guy get ur ass kicked then shut up sick of people like u

[richman1979]

lol. i'm a ITF fighter and have won some championchip in matsogi, t-ki and wirok as well.

regarding WTF, we tried a few fights and if you put hands up, you have advantage. so tell me please, WHY you have hands down.

[ICP2291]

U kick faster with your hands down as well as u dont need to block punches or anything because as soon as they get close enough to punch u have kicked them i no how this works i do WTF Taekwondo and Karate and the karate people never and i mean never hit me except i let the little kids cos that would be like shit mean to beat the crap out of them :( im a horrible little boy

[richman1979]

you know what? try fight with MMA fighter in ring and than come back here. one realy good tkd fighter fought with one thai master and were totally beaten. and he is more than good tkd fighter. I'm not saying that tkd is bad. I'm practicing it, but I'm saying that having hands down is bad. i understand that wtf has some rules and for punch is no point and thats why they dont use it.

[12081985]

look at serkan yilmaz then, he does taekwondo...but at this video you don't have choice, because kicks are faster then punch, so kicks gets more points

[ULTRATHUNDERGOD]

Ofc he was beaten the thai can both kick and punch elbow and knee(depending on what rules they use). Its 2 different sports.

[unlikelyfool]

Please, do not disgrace yourself on the Internet. More importantly, do not ruin the name of Taekwondo. Thanks.

[richman1979]

am I disgracing myself? how? i would never ruin takekwon-do itf.

[MARINAKI2143658709]

[fazleecool]

sparring is sport coz it has rules

[dandanFROMmyspace]

Sparring is not a sport.

[hankalto]

Tae Kwon Do is a martial art. Sparring is a sport that uses Tae Kwon Do in competition.

[ElementStyker]

[1AlexanderCardenas]

This is so weeeeeeeeak!!! no hand techs. no blocks .

Is this for creatures without arms??

[stochastikos]

what a prodigiously imbecilic comment. make sure you comment on some basketball videos and complain about them not using their feet to move the ball down court.

[Taekwondohayley]

that is an olympic level fight,you can block and punch but kicking is more effective,if you want "hand techs"go watch boxing.

[lawfence11]

punches don't get you points and blocks are a waste of time its better trying to get a hit at them while they're going in for you

[dontfreakinask]

actually punches get u 1 point but only count on body not head

[sportsmom1973]

Incorrect.... u get 1 point for the body and 2 points for the head. I fight, along with my 5 and 6 year old kids.

[jasonAiR31]

or 3 for head for moment

[akuma99999]

daniel trenton kicks ass he was the aussie.i met him at the last nationals and he signed my hoga.

[Taekwondohayley]

[xlker]

[Belfast123]

the yankee comentaters dont have a clue what to say. they probably comentate base ball or some other american fatboy sport

[Janth]

lol i was about to say that

[jy90274]

lmao, that black dude ate it real hard. XD

[Surriour]

I can't believe how different the training is in iraq compared to iran. great vid

[grebacer]

Iran is one of the most strong countries in Tae Kwon Do competition... but it seems that only in male.

[liquidmeat]

korea's national sport is Taekwondo as Canada's is Hockey. I am Canadian and ive gotten 1 silver medal in a taekwondo sparring Tournament. It was the only tournament i ever joined. Korea is alot more competitive and usually they win the olympic gold. They did last time i know for sure. and greece with silver.

[xdevilmaycry24x]

liquidmeat, how can you say you're Canadian? I'm American and even i know that Canada's national sport is Lacrosse.

[GracieKai89]

hahaha "thats why you gotta look closely ladies and gentlemen. you never whats gonna happen in this house of taekwondo"

great commentators

[selia1703]

that's a very good video !!! sorry i'm french i don't understand the commentators!! ;-)

[Janth]

hah that's ok they didn't know what they were talking about anyways

[amjkwfhenjkvan]

this video never gets old....

[skrivbok]

That yankee was really good... 7-1 against a guy from Iran or Iraq :O

[grebacer]

Iraq, ... Iraq... idiot... you must to be an 'american'... only americans think that every oriental people are chinese, and all martial arts are karate... and all latin people are mexican...

[loner1520]
