2004 Athens Taekwondo

[Tranman69]

Planning to start tae kwon do training..but no punches in this one?

[TaeKwonDoJosh]

@dakentaijutsu2010 What does Karate focus on? i've wanted to train in it.Yea check it out its not the best im still new at it but please subscribe and ill subscribe back.

[HouseIdiots]

@GoodFellax21 lol why don't you just look at the tkd matches on YouTube, the people constantly hopping and performing a lot of kicks, since they are hopping there's no place for them to pivot off their feet for power. You are just being idiotic because you like tkd where as I respect all arts and see them on an unbiased way

[8oakpark8]

im starting taekwondo on tuesday , any tips?

[TaeKwonDoJosh]

Hey do you like Tae Kwon Do? Then check out my channel @TaeKwonDoJosh

[dakentaijutsu2010]

@TaeKwonDoJosh I don't train in taekwondo, just Karate, but i do respect all fighting styles including Taekwondo. So I'll check out your channel!

[fireglyder]

[fireglyder]

tangina

[HouseIdiots]

TKD is all about fancy and the number of kicks for points, absolute no power in those kicks, shame

[fireglyder]

@HouseIdiots Idiot ka

[theonlinearthrob333]

@HouseIdiots well, if you say tkd kicks has no power, show your self and i will let you taste the real essence of taekwondo! beware! >:I

[GoodFellax21]

@HouseIdiots Lmao you obviously don't know anything about TKD then. Go fight a professional TKD fighter and I guarantee you wont think the same.

[0utsoo]

SIX FUCKING YEARS AGO!!!

[hiperson641]

1:35 if that is one of the participants escorting his opponent off the mat, thats sportsmanship right there. :)

[Jofftheboff1]

[MitsosSasuke]

@itchybo510

[Makedonwow]

@itchybo510 You're probably the type of guy that goes to football (soccer for you) stadiums and complains about the lack of slam dunks.

[holateodiotantoglam]

[drthanh99]

i wanna be as guy

[JoyRiderProductions]

1:45 been playing too much Tekken LOOOL

[Iteachu2beninja]

THIS, IS, ATHENS!!!

[Pinoymak]

they can't use fists or palms to defend their upper body??

[poketrainer84]

@Pinoymak you do have a piont, i used to do taekwondo and they taught me how to kick very well but didnt realy focus of punches and upper body, thats why i moved onto karate and jujitsu. now i have the best of both worlds :D

[anthong999]

@chasejtkd , i am so sad because you still dint realise the weakness of yourself, taekwondo is only a sport, not really helpfull to fully defence yourself in street fight or real fight. your world is too narrow, they are like cartoon when two fighter come close. look at UFC, taekwondo weakness is uppor body. you are so silly dude, wake up !!

[211kyuubi]

To all the idiots thar don't think taekwondo is effective in a fight think again you try punching anyone that plays taekwondo in the face.. Heh by the time you almost reach his face you'll be sent to the infirmary that's why in taekwondo we don't use hand much even of its allowed because 1m punches not effective 2. Kick is faster stronger and can counter if a guy was tryung to punch you he anyone could easily counter with back kick to the face

[skrimpshidy]

@211kyuubi There's someone that says that about every martial art. Everyone that trains wonders, yet, accepts the limitations of their art. Those who don't think it's useful has never had their ass kicked and more than likely only tries to fight those they perceive as weak.

[88genejack]

Great Video !!! Great TAEKWONDO !!!

[RuslanHamzin]

why no sound at the second half?

[michurusan]

Impressive as a sport, but nothing more. It has its place and I respect them as competitors in the Athletic World. However, that is all they are, is sportsmen and women.

[nightmareluffy1000]

are they not allowed to use there hands? or they just dont know how?

[88genejack]

@nightmareluffy1000 If use hands,,will be broken, their Kicks Very Powerful n Fast..

[nightmareluffy1000]

@88genejack is that becuase they dont toughen there hands like there legs? i mean seriously if there arms arent stronger then there face or body then thats kind of weird.

[88genejack]

@nightmareluffy1000 hi,friend,,its hard to describe it to u actually,,

If u have time,go n see it -any TAEKWONDO training center,,,I want u to see directly,,,

or try to learn TAEKWONDO,,,then U will see what i mean,,,KICKS,,unbelievably FAST,VERY VERY POWERFUL,,u could feel it,,,

[nightmareluffy1000]

@88genejack i get it there strong but do they just not spend time on it or focus on kicks?

[88genejack]

@nightmareluffy1000 TAEKWONDO is basically self-defense martial-art,,,of course learn hand skill as well,,but when u need to attack somebody,,kicks better ,,,easy,safe,powerful,,,kicks are 10 times stronger than hands.

Try to learn TAEKWONDO,,, its worth,,,

[nightmareluffy1000]

@88genejack acually im learning karate but thanks anyway.

[88genejack]

@nightmareluffy1000

[Checkyourbalance]

4:47 WOW

[fullonsk8]

[McFootster]

Slipknot - Scream & Drowning Pool - Hate... both fit, I CAN'T choose!!!

Good vid,

Good song (w/e it may be)

Korea FTW!

[chessdrag0n2]

all there doing is kicking

[chasejtkd]

@chessdrag0n2  That is all Taekwondo sparring is hahaha. Obviously not educated in the Martial Arts.

[mrmoong]

Taekwondo fanatic=me

[WorldWarCheese]

Where's the video of the Cuban TKD guy surprise kicking the referee in the face?

[goldsmith000]

@WorldWarCheese You can't find it on Youtube. (at least, I couldn't). Try searching in other video sharing sites.

[anthong999]

fabulous foot work in taekwondo, but shit to upper body, its a desaster to defence yourself on the street. i am a teakwondo black belt for 8yrs, no offence to those love the art like me, just telling the fact.

i pfeffer to mix with muay thai upper body technique.

[chasejtkd]

@anthong999 Or you just go to a shit TKD school. A lot of TKD schools do all around training. Of course a lot of the focus is on kicking, but they are other aspects involved in a "good" school...Such as self defence, punching, intense cardio and upper body workouts.

[anthong999]

[HollywoodKendrick]

Wow, I never seen Taekwondo like this. 

[toforgive1980]

...muy buenas peleas, y aun mejor el nivel. Al final se enamoran creo Jajajaa!!!

[praveenrock5]

the end has tears of joy,when they harvest their pain all through the road

[TheJayjam]

awesome every friday after taking shit a whole week long without saying a word of hate to anyone i realease my hate on my opponet gawd afterwards i feel like newborn

[freefallingcat]

@TheJayjam im pretty sure your instructor or master would kick you out if you actually did that. people often forget that sparring is not the same thing as fighting.

[TheJayjam]

@freefallingcat

well first hate wasn´t the right word to discribe what i was trying to discribe its just such a relief to let SOME anger out, my opponents do then same thing, and afterwards we are better friends than before, and besides we do fights every week aginst another gym to train eachother if we do sparring in our own group i sure would not do such a thing but there is a reason why i usually fight people that are 2 or 3 years older than me Im pretty tall for my age 1.85m with 15 years

[jerijeffgordon]

im going to join i love taekwon do and karate

[ThePanathas1908]

@jerijeffgordon do you realy like tae kwon do??

i mean they fight with kicks only you must be fast and strike faster and kicks come on they are not anything like counter plus chicks will not like it

[tkdwarriors1]

shit that was awesome

[gjgqtrrtm]

could you please reupload the version with slipknot?? or maybe upload it on another video webpage??? i loved the way the music harmonized with the images on that version.

[luisescobar95]

Taekwondo mi deporte favorito m encanta

[kingneji14]

anyone notice how not one of them had their hands up?

[bjjalltheway1]

@kingneji14 Yup. I would though too if I trained/competed in the equivalent of knight's armor, since gee, only most fights in the real world will have the opponents use all possible striking points (fists,elbows,knees, and shins) and won't hesitate a second to knock you out with a well placed elbow to the jaw.

[kingneji14]

@bjjalltheway1 hmmm....well last time i checked keeping your hands up was like number 1 on the 10 testaments of fighting and also last time i checked keeping your hands up can give you a good defense for most parts of the body waist up....plus its near impossible to block attacks to the leg with your hands....but what the hell I'm only a black belt

[bjjalltheway1]

@kingneji14 I was using sarcasm, I was mocking how these guys were using shitty form and look like they're "fighting in knights armor". Keeping your hands up is common sense is what I was trying to say haha.

[kingneji14]

@bjjalltheway1 lol oops....missed the sarcasm. my bad :)

think you mean drowning pool?

[prodotawtf]

I LOVE TAEKWONDO......this is my life!!



[waldomarek]

i don't know much about TKD, but can someone tell me why they don't use their hands/arms to block/catch any kicks? is it not allowed or they simply don't like to?

[MoDabak]

@waldomarek they could use their arms to defend but if a fighter were to use his left arm to block the opponents kick it leaves his chest gaurd open to the other kick. Besides, these are retaliatory fighters, not defend, retaliate.

[waldomarek]

@MoDabak well uh... if they use their left arm to defend, their chest is open... so better to not defend at all?

[MoDabak]

@waldomarek which is why they all dodge and retaliate, or in this video, retaliate automatically.

[waldomarek]

@MoDabak silly me was trying to relate the TKD seen in this vid to "real life" fighting. should've figured they would fight a bit different in a real life situation, right?

[MoDabak]

@waldomarek i fight tkd, been to the national tournament before, have a pretty good career in it, but in a street fight im gonna punch more than kick

[narutosasuketeam]

how do you win in this sport? Just knock the other guy over?

Looks like just kicking. idk anything about it lol.

[MoDabak]

@narutosasuketeam no, points are gained when a fighter hits the chestpiece or head of the opponent

[narutosasuketeam]

@MoDabak Are they only allowed to use their legs? can they block?

[MoDabak]

@narutosasuketeam they can block but it slows down the fight and makes them more vulnerable to a kick from the opposite leg so in stead of blocking they dodge and retaliate keeping the fight fast and the kicks strong. they can punch too put tae kwon do is based on the principle that legs are the strongest limbs of the body and so they make the most usefull weapons.

[ViolationOfReality]

Okay, so Charmander wins...

[vivigi0]

0:45 Anderson Silva's Kick !!!!!!

[leetNightshade]

It's highly entertaining, but they look kind of stupid at times when they look like they're line dancing... those "kicks" don't look particularly effective at times.

[fashnek]

Ruined by the music.

[HairProduckt]

god this is gay....

[MrRadomir89]

Highly aggressive !

[ninja206038]

Are leg catches allowed?

[poomzeed]

Thai boxing can knock Korean Taekwondo down in 10 sec

[flyingikarus]

@poomzeed Dude you can't compare Martial Arts ... you can just compare fighters ...

[urmum212]

i swear you can punch in taekwando?

[MisterShinster]

@urmum212 you can punch, but it would be kind of pointless in a highly competitive match like this. It's safe to say you would not be awarded points even if you do end up hitting the chest gear by punching. Additionally, punching is short range anyway, so you wouldn't get much out of it

[foy50]

lol there kicks are god but its till a shit fighting sport if theres no punches or throws ......

[neettim]

@foy50 the only reason there aren't any punches or throws is because that is the rules of sparring. Although in real fights, a taekwondo fighter; and im speaking for all martial arts; they may incorporate all other methods of fighting.

[familyguycrazyfan3]

the like the part when THE B*TCH GOT PWNED

[ausiuchi]

They are Supermen...

How come they kick too fast? Awesome video!

[noobertification]

this is really just kick kick kick kick kick and hope to land some key weak points. but really is just blindly drop kick some foo's in the face. looks like aton of fun, really.

[flyingikarus]

@noobertification I see ... you don't know anything about Taekwondo

/watch?v=A1ONukdRksU

my taekwondo vid check it out

[cleansweper]

ok yer lightning fast but where are the blocks?? its as if they have no arms wtf??

[MoDabak]

@cleansweper why block with your arms and get no points when you can kick them back real fast and get a point or 3?

[chasejtkd]

@cleansweper Don't comment if you know nothing about the sport hahaha...Just kidding. It's more about avoiding a kick rather than blocking. Trying to get out of the way, requires more of a mental game as well. Need to always think ahead of your opponent.

[tantarzamfir]

change song!!!;) it's horible

[SuperWali007]

this is one of the best video that i see in my life !!

[Fantasticawesomeguy]

@SuperWali007 then u dont have a life

[kewtdz]

Just a FYI for all non tkd fights out there... When you start sparring in TKD you are taught to keep you hands up all the time, however, as you get better most of the time you are fast enough to block head kicks even when your hands are down. Plus keeping your hands down relieves fatigue from keeping them up.

[swifttiga]

Lol wow my master should joineed!

[ParagonalForce]

@swifttiga If he was good enough to compete he would've

[hnsnsnevil]

the hands are down to block most points which come from kicks to the side, in youtube videos all you see are the head kicks

[RsGhost1]

2:05 Seriously? The dude practically has his foot up the guys nose before he kicks and the other dude is still letting his hands by his side, wtf?

[TheBigF00T98]

Look at 3:34 when he get so happy that he may be a result!

And then.... HS!!

[RsGhost1]

Why do TKD guys always let their hands hang, is it to draw out your opponent and then kick him in the head or what?

[DimDanSum]

@RsGhost1 Kinda. some people do it to make their opponent think their defense is down. Not all TKD people do that.

[naaib11]

at 119 you can see spit flying out his mouth lol
