Taekkyon was to be erased from civilization of this world by Japanese while they've occupied Korea for 30 years along with Korean alphabets. I'm so glad these two still exists today. It's miracle how Taekkyon and Hangul which is name of Korean Alphabets of today.
@divideandmultiply - Typical redneck hillbilly playing dumb and denying Asians annihilated Europeans when the great Mongol Empire occupied Europe, along with the Huns.
He wrote me an email asking when Europeans were annihilated so he won't look stupid to others. I told him to fuck off and that he is a disgusting, creepy, hillbilly redneck. Oh, I also blocked him. Creeeeeepppyyyy!
@petiteasiahoney Riiiiiiiight. Annihilated, o rly? I guess all wars and occupations, "annihilate" people in a sense. Take WW2, the Germans invaded France and bombed the British, who in turn invaded Germany. Or the Japanese "annihilated" the Chinese, who were in turn "annihilated" by the Allies.
Truly your use of the term within that context and the way it is framed, is an absolute abuse of the English language. And what kind of person is proud of death, war and destruction?
All positive replies in this video are from Koreans and don't even try to lie that they aren't. They can't handle criticisms of any kind regarding anything Korean. Try doing tae kwon do in the octagon.
This one has been only a week, so what? Your white ass can't stand being inferior to East Asians, and have to troll on YT to criticize about something you have absolutely no clue to. Like a typical LBH (Loser Back Home) Asiaphiliacs I see roaming in Seoul, you don't have a one damn merit to speak your rubbish. Just ask that one white boy who got his ass knocked out by a Korean boy who used Tae Kwon Do on him with his left hand, and not his usual right hand. Ba-bo!
@petiteasiahoney When did this happen? Race is just an artificial human construct, much like nationality, that the weak and insecure hide behind due to their lack of self esteem. But anyone who advocates or celebrates violence like you is a burden to the advancement if human civilisation. How unevolved.
@damnarse Already been done, many times, Successfully. Its more common in Non-UFC MMA however. Try looking up Lucasz Jurkowski (I may have spelt that wrong, but a Video Search should provide)
Taekkyon is quite different from Taek Kwon Do. The Biggest difference is in the Kicks. While Taek Kwon Do kicks are mostly (Not all) straight and direct, Taekkyon is mainly depends on crossed, or crescent kicks.
this seems really softer than any other martial art, i pretty much liked it, i suffer from my tendons and carpal tunnel, and i was looking for any soft sport i could do cuz im really a sportgirl :)
this martial art does not intend to hurt the enemy. it aims to protect the body and life of the enemy. so takkyun masters do not hit, but simply push others.
taekkun has been around near BC times in the three kingdoms era. taekwondo originates from a combination of elements from taekkyun and shotoke karate. while taekkyun is more fluid and dancelike, taekwondo focuses on quick snaps which makes it a more realistic fightong technique
What is the history to taekkyon? until today I never have heard of it, but it appears similar to many of the Chinese styles of martial arts I've witnessed.
@6arcsn1sky Taekkyon/Subak/Taekwondo etc are names of Korean Martial Arts. They all have the same basics, they are all martial arts school. Taekkyon can be an origin of TKD, like every martial arts come from China. We don't know very well which martial arts is the origin of one another. But, we found that Taekkyon was used to be a name of a TKD-kind thousand years ago.
@Seytaable As much as some may think taekwondo came from taekkyeon, I see little to no sameness. Nowadays, some taekwondo practitioners started to take the truth that their craft actually came from karate.
@Seytaable I agree with 6arcsn1sky. There is not much doubt that Taekwondo is largely based on Karatedo and has its roots during the Japanese colonial period. Taekkyon however exists almost independantly from the other two styles.
@jaquesgrobler2 I in no way tried to put the art down, I practice ITF myself. I just tried to explain, very poorly sorry, on why it seems so flicky or useless to others. Sport TKD is like leg fencing, though I am quite sure that the Kukkikwon does teach the art as a martial system. It is very useful to practice it in sport form, seems to increase leg strength, and help users test/fit combos and see what moves work/don't work.
soobak is the root of ssireum and taekkyon is root of taekwando...
taekkyon was learned by chosun soldiers hundreds years ago to efficiently kill enemies(breaking neck with hands pulling ribs and eyeballs with fingers and etc)... they modified it to be more like peaceful martial art today.
Wow. This is amazing! I thought first it was an exibition, but they are actually fighting! I love clear martial arts, not like mma. My favourit is of course sumo, which is also fast, clear and elegant. But this taekyon stuff is great, I'm gonna look for more videos.

i love watching these videos. taekkyun is so obviously the only true korean martial art, it reflects korea in every way from the folk style dancing to the kicks and natural movement, amazing. one of few things to survive japanese colonization after the war. in my opinion looks much more effective than taekwondo or whatever modern hybrids exist now
I'm tired of all the idiots who disrespect both martial arts and martial artists by saying "hurr durr this style better than that style hurr". Kung Fu works. TKD works. Karate works. Boxing, Muay Thai, Aikido, they all work. You know why people in Aikido tumble around very dramatically? They do that to about having their arms broken or falling on their head. These are all lethal martial arts, but in today's world, such things are forbidden, hence they look less dangerous.
I hear ya about the difference b/w ITF and WTF. Most people don't realize untill they spare an ITF trained fighter vs. WTF how drastic the difference is.
For all you saying Taekwon-Do is a sport and its crap. Let me explain why your wrong. I agree with you to some extent. WTF (World Taekwon-Do Federation) is a sport, nothing more. Thats the stuff you see in the Olympics. The ITF (International Taekwon-Do Federation) is a Martial Art. Martial meaning Military, its used in the North Korean Military and is effective unlike this WTF olympic crap.
ITF Taekwon-Do is descendant from Taekkyon. Do some research if you interested.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@KillSwitch66627 Again only people who think that are the losers that do that martial art. If i made a martial art that only involves useing your left hand do you think your martial art is better? Ofcourse, not saying there isnt a chance the left hand fighter wont win just a very low chance, like you guys. Vs. a season thai fighter, your chances exist .Less that 2%, just making a guess. But in the end just open your eyes. A stronger faster motor will beat a car with a slower much weaker motor.
Well to be fair, these guys in real life fighting back in the day would all be mostly trained in archery. These guys didn't use hands because they would have a bow in their hands or a sword.
@GuamKomudo Thank you for restoring my faith in intelligent youtube commentary. Like, this is off topic but it's nice to here some people here not just bickering about which martial art is "better" it's like saying hamburgers are better then sushi, there's no legible point of comparison. The goals, techniques, training and roots of martial arts are all different that's what makes martial arts interesting. Taekkyun practitioners aren't learning this art to impress jerks. This is their heritage.
Well, I do see the MMA guys points. I was tought Karate by my grandpa with my cousins for self defense from bad guys in California. It is a much different approch to Karate than I have seen in many American schools. America has killed many styles like Karate, and Taekwondo. It takes people like my grandpa and old style schools in Japan to teach people legit, hurt people Karate instead of sport version. I think some schools in US are good, but not many. I have used Karate in MMA, so we win haha
Another thing about MMA and stuff. I have taken MMA classes before, they teach no Yin, only Yang. It's all just hitting and how to hurt others. There's so much more to martial arts than what most MMA guys know... They only know the Yang, violent, strong, almost mean. They have no respect and cannot use their martial arts outside of class. But Karate, taekkyun, Kung fu, you can use in everything. It's who you are, not how you hit...
@GuamKomudo That's been my MMA experience as well and it's taught to be reckless. If I'm in a fight where I know my opponent's MO is to try breaking my back on the floor I'm a lot less inclined to show restraint in using a kubaton or a taser on them, it's hard to treat someone as a warrior when they have no spirit of restraint or honour. Also I'm part of a full contact sparring club and I have seen all 4 of our experienced MMA members get worked over by Wing Chun practitioners on a regular basis
@MartialValor Not if there's an idiot behind the wheel, obviously some martial arts take a hell of a lot more mastery then others. Nobody here is talking down to Thai boxing but don't think it produces any better martial artists then any decent instructor using decent technique, and I've seen dozens and dozens of Muy Thai fighters go down in street fights when hey take one in the nuts while fighting an experienced fighter who knows how to actually fight and not just knock out other ring fighters
WOW! i love this! thanx for sharing. haters leave now, please. this is true martial arts, power under control. going along with your opponent. sure, some parts were somewhat choreographed for the knife defense, others were not. they did well... so good that its hard to tell. again, power under control.
@MrQuackism ahh yeah, i just love how those tkd bitches can't stop argueing... poor. try flip kicking somebody on the street, he'll step aside and trip your ass easily. and taekkyon is almost as old as tai chi, while modern taekwondo is ... thanks to people like you ... pure suckage. there are some people in tkd that either really kick ass or suck dick. end of story.
@ymk19 let me tell you: i do. i do not say that there is only one true MA and i am not saying that the martial arts i practice are better than others. it is just up to the practicioner to be the best he can. IMO, a martial ART is meant to be for your own health and self defence, not for sports (like modern taekwondo). that's all i'm sayin'.
@ymk19 cause modern taekwondo is organizes as a sport, some instuctors forget to teach important aspects of structure and how to preserve your own health as a tkd-person. there are a lot of people that say that their ancles are wrecked because of incomplete instruction. and if a martial art destroys your body, it is not an art anymore. but that is just my opinion.
I think it's kinda funny how I discoverd this martial art. I was having a debate on the new karate kid film about where taekwondo & karate originated. I stated Okinawa with influence from China& Taekwondo influence from japan but contriversal. This style looks similiar to if someone mixed drunken boxing & tkd hehe but it's cool. =)
The root of Taekwondo. Taekwondo = sport. Taekyon = combat martial arts fighting. This was used against japs and they ban this therefore hence Taekwondo was form with Karate. BTW Karate isn't japanese, its chinese origin. This is Korean origin. Such pussies!
before you start giving history lessons on martial arts, make sure your info is correct. Karate is originally Japanese. Much of it is from Okinawa prior to their invasion and annexation by Japan. Some forms of karate do have heavy influence from Kung Fu, like Shorrin-ryu karate. Shorrin=Shaolin. Many of the monks from China arrived in Japan and Okinawa and their teachings were added or changed some parts of the existing karate. L2notbewrong.
Karate was never japanese, u twat. So putting in belt system and japanese names makes it japanese? when its origins are from China in which they ruled Okinawa. It's the same shit applied to Ramen, had its origins in China. Basically, Japan is copying everything.
Well... I wouldn't use copy, because pretty much everyone in Asia "Copied" China in one way or another. Fighting systems that are Japanese are Ninjutsu, Jujitsu, Aikido, Kendo, Naginatado. Japanese mostly fought with weapons, and the unarmed systems were based on IF you loose your weapon or fighting becomes too close for a weapon. Japanese systems are based on the fact that you cannot punch someone in armor, but you can bend their body parts the wrong way through grappling and locks.
Actually the Karate Gi was based on the Japanese Jujitsu and Judo Gi, that's where it comes from, it's Japanese. Japan was more advanced then Okinawa and most the martial arts of Japan were grappling or weapons. you cannot punch someone in armor, but when it gets close or on the ground you can slam them on the ground or bend their arm the wrong way. Japanese martial arts were based on throwing people on the ground and finish them, not punching them.
@hotpopcorncake That really is an ambiguous statement. Kung fu is only a blanket term for term for Chinese Martial Arts, and frankly, many east Asian Martial Arts has its roots in them one way or another. Trying to trace Taekkyon's roots is as ridiculous, because the only proof of its origins is a picture of a street exhibition of Taekkyon in the Joseon period, and that's just about it.
@qkrqudxo91 Yes but Koreans been known to lie alot , like claiming there style is older then kung fu with no facts, also they saying that they found it writing in a wall of cave...also claim Korea made up a stlye in thin air..That sound like totally bullshit to me..
Okinawa had a HUGE part in making Karate. Japan never claimed that Karate is from Japan. We have other fighting styles, like Jujitsu, Aikido, Kendo, Naginatado, Ninjutsu. Our martial arts are mostly weapon based...
@kentobi881 Jujutsu, sumo, and weaponry martial arts like iaido and kendo are of Japanese origin though. I have read that Jujutsu roots trace its way to ancient India as well as many other eastern martial arts.
@kentobi881 True comment... but The Taekwondo your saying that is a sport is olympic Taekwondo... Self Defense Taekwondo is the thing your talking about...
@kentobi881 taekkyon also has developed from china, but it's still very different from chinese arts and is korean. same with karate, so be respectful. we're in this world to share ideas, not fight over who thought up of them
@asadal123 I'll give you the record of you being sexually molested by your whore mother and pimp father. That's why you became a child molester like all Koreans.
@asadal123 sorry, my mistake. It is known to be korean origin. coz ages ago, i knew it as a chinese derivitive but a couple of months ago, I found out korean taekkyon was earlier. I'm for taekkyon too dw. i'm korean.
tai chi is relative new, taekyeon has been used since Three Kingdoms era (200BC to 8the century), the murals, documents and also from 1600s and 1700s descrbe the martial arts.
@Minds3ar Taekwondo was formed together by forcefully gathering all of Korea's kwans together with the intent of making it S.Korea's official sport. FORMED WITH THE PURPOSE OF BEING S.KOREA'S NATIONAL SPORT. WTF is Olympic Sport. ITF is more focused on the fighting aspect. Taekkyon is a martial art based on a korean game, Soobak is the original martial art in which Taekkyon is based. Though in current times, Taekkyon has gone back to it's Subak roots as a martial system.
@Minds3ar ??? taekwondo was a sport with WTF(world taekwnodo federation) regulation ever since the year 2000...taekwondo is an sport my friend. its also an olympic discipline, but of course, the roots rely more on the traditional art of combat than to be a sport
thx but im not dumb...i know this. still it doesnt look clearly like tkd. i mean yes the kick are similar but the stance, the flow and the philosophy basics are different
hell course this isn't looks like tkd tkd has karate-influenced moves, but taekkyun focus on defeating enemy without any damages. that's why. but still...without taekkyun tkd wouldnt exist
It's a part of Taekwondo, the real BASE of TKD is Karate... TKD is kinda... Stupid, it's become a game of tag with your foot... For Korean martial arts, Hapkido, Taekkyun, are my favorit. I'm from Karate, and I really like the Jujitsu and some kicks of Taekkyun and Hapkido, it's very similar to Japanese styles, I like them =)
No... Its just for show. I had a Few of these moves dislocaed my shoulder a few times. Am gong to tsay Hapkido is the worst when it somes to that much.
1. Different kinds of kicks than the usual Taekwondo / Karate kicks. Very interesting.
2. They actually use lower body kicks and take-downs. Both Karate and Taekwondo lost a lot as martial arts by excluding lower body kicks and take-down in their tournaments. It's rare to find martial arts that include all or many aspects of fighting, too many just focus on one or two specific aspects.
Though they have leg kicks and takedowns, they dont use their hands which puts them at the biggest disadvantage in martial arts history lol I belive this art was originally used with a weapon, so they didnt really use alot of hands because they had a weapon in their hands. I know Taekkyun has hand techniques, but they cant use them in the game. I heard that original Taekkyun was actualy said to be one of the most deadly arts they have discoverd. No one can kick like Taekkyun...
Before making any judgment about Taekkyun, learn about it!!!!
If you guys want any evidence that Taekkyun is traditional martial art or play of Korea, you may be able find ancient drawing of Koreans traditional play and martial art from BC 37 (the time when three separate kingdom: Koguryo, Sinla, and Bakjae were taking hold of Korea) to 1800. (When South Korea was called as Choshun- and by 1798, the Taekkyun was formally recorded in Jaemulbo, a Koreas encyclopedia)
There are ancient tomb mural called muyungchon, gackjuchon and other murals from Koguryo that shows the picture of martial art close to Taekkyun and drawing called Daequaedo, drawn at the end of Chosun period by the artist name Shin, Yunbok.
thats not actually true, taekkyun was part of an older korean martial art called Subak, but can be played as a game aswell as a proper fighting style which pre dates karate. the motions in taekkyun and karate are very different and unrelated. during the japanese colonisation of korea, taekkyun was banned and some of its masters studied karate, which is how taekwondo was formed, although this is much more heavily based on karate than taekkyun, and the kicks are not taekkyun style kicks.
kinda, I have private lessons with another student from a 3rd Dan Taekkyun instructor.( in Taekkyun you have to be a 3rd dan before you can sit the instructors course which takes a year to pass!) we train in the park near her house
yeah its pretty sweet. there arent really any closed hand tecniques, its more palm and ridge hand style strikes, mainly used to off balance or distract, although some are to the throat
Taekkyun kicks are slightly slower than taekwondo kicks, as the power comes from the hip in a totaly different way, you have to sink down just before you kick and you drive up and through with the kick. its definitely more powerful than taekwondo, but the emphathis is to push through your opponent rather than cause impact damage
@xolani83 Cool. I do Karate but I'd be interested to learn Taekkyon. They don't teach anything like that around my area. It looks more powerful. I imagine you must do lots of flexibility training too.
my teacher taught a seminar for a friend recently who is 4th dan taekwondo teacher with his own class, after the first day the taekwondo teacher said he couldn't walk properly as his the muscles in his legs were so sore from the taekkyun style movements as he wasnt used to using those muscles in kicking!
the rules are complicated, but simplified, you fight 3 rounds, the first to win 2 rounds wins the fight. you win a round by either kicking to the head with force, or throwing your opponent to the ground. your not allowed to step back more than 2 steps in a striaght line, Kicks used must be taekkyun kicks. a penalty is given for breaking rules, penalty consists of standing with lead legs locked knee to knee & penalised player can only defend for set time period until match continues as normal
Taekkyon was to be erased from civilization of this world by Japanese while they've occupied Korea for 30 years along with Korean alphabets. I'm so glad these two still exists today. It's miracle how Taekkyon and Hangul which is name of Korean Alphabets of today.

i love watching these videos. taekkyun is so obviously the only true korean martial art, it reflects korea in every way from the folk style dancing to the kicks and natural movement, amazing. one of few things to survive japanese colonization after the war. in my opinion looks much more effective than taekwondo or whatever modern hybrids exist now

I'm tired of all the idiots who disrespect both martial arts and martial artists by saying "hurr durr this style better than that style hurr". Kung Fu works. TKD works. Karate works. Boxing, Muay Thai, Aikido, they all work. You know why people in Aikido tumble around very dramatically? They do that to about having their arms broken or falling on their head. These are all lethal martial arts, but in today's world, such things are forbidden, hence they look less dangerous.

Hey randomnator,
I hear ya about the difference b/w ITF and WTF. Most people don't realize untill they spare an ITF trained fighter vs. WTF how drastic the difference is.
smilenb 1 year ago
For all you saying Taekwon-Do is a sport and its crap. Let me explain why your wrong. I agree with you to some extent. WTF (World Taekwon-Do Federation) is a sport, nothing more. Thats the stuff you see in the Olympics. The ITF (International Taekwon-Do Federation) is a Martial Art. Martial meaning Military, its used in the North Korean Military and is effective unlike this WTF olympic crap.
ITF Taekwon-Do is descendant from Taekkyon. Do some research if you interested.
Respect from ITF

Ofcourse, not saying there isnt a chance the left hand fighter wont win just a very low chance, like you guys. Vs. a season thai fighter, your chances exist .Less that 2%, just making a guess. But in the end just open your eyes. A stronger faster motor will beat a car with a slower much weaker motor.

@GuamKomudo Thank you for restoring my faith in intelligent youtube commentary. Like, this is off topic but it's nice to here some people here not just bickering about which martial art is "better" it's like saying hamburgers are better then sushi, there's no legible point of comparison. The goals, techniques, training and roots of martial arts are all different that's what makes martial arts interesting. Taekkyun practitioners aren't learning this art to impress jerks. This is their heritage.

Well, I do see the MMA guys points. I was tought Karate by my grandpa with my cousins for self defense from bad guys in California. It is a much different approch to Karate than I have seen in many American schools. America has killed many styles like Karate, and Taekwondo. It takes people like my grandpa and old style schools in Japan to teach people legit, hurt people Karate instead of sport version. I think some schools in US are good, but not many. I have used Karate in MMA, so we win haha
GuamKomudo 1 year ago
Another thing about MMA and stuff. I have taken MMA classes before, they teach no Yin, only Yang. It's all just hitting and how to hurt others. There's so much more to martial arts than what most MMA guys know... They only know the Yang, violent, strong, almost mean. They have no respect and cannot use their martial arts outside of class. But Karate, taekkyun, Kung fu, you can use in everything. It's who you are, not how you hit...
GuamKomudo 1 year ago 23
@GuamKomudo That's been my MMA experience as well and it's taught to be reckless. If I'm in a fight where I know my opponent's MO is to try breaking my back on the floor I'm a lot less inclined to show restraint in using a kubaton or a taser on them, it's hard to treat someone as a warrior when they have no spirit of restraint or honour. Also I'm part of a full contact sparring club and I have seen all 4 of our experienced MMA members get worked over by Wing Chun practitioners on a regular basis

The root of Taekwondo. Taekwondo = sport. Taekyon = combat martial arts fighting. This was used against japs and they ban this therefore hence Taekwondo was form with Karate. BTW Karate isn't japanese, its chinese origin. This is Korean origin. Such pussies!
kentobi881 1 year ago 21
before you start giving history lessons on martial arts, make sure your info is correct. Karate is originally Japanese. Much of it is from Okinawa prior to their invasion and annexation by Japan. Some forms of karate do have heavy influence from Kung Fu, like Shorrin-ryu karate. Shorrin=Shaolin. Many of the monks from China arrived in Japan and Okinawa and their teachings were added or changed some parts of the existing karate. L2notbewrong.
Darkray16 1 year ago
Karate was never japanese, u twat. So putting in belt system and japanese names makes it japanese? when its origins are from China in which they ruled Okinawa. It's the same shit applied to Ramen, had its origins in China. Basically, Japan is copying everything.
kentobi881 1 year ago
Well... I wouldn't use copy, because pretty much everyone in Asia "Copied" China in one way or another. Fighting systems that are Japanese are Ninjutsu, Jujitsu, Aikido, Kendo, Naginatado. Japanese mostly fought with weapons, and the unarmed systems were based on IF you loose your weapon or fighting becomes too close for a weapon. Japanese systems are based on the fact that you cannot punch someone in armor, but you can bend their body parts the wrong way through grappling and locks.
GuamKomudo 1 year ago
Actually the Karate Gi was based on the Japanese Jujitsu and Judo Gi, that's where it comes from, it's Japanese. Japan was more advanced then Okinawa and most the martial arts of Japan were grappling or weapons. you cannot punch someone in armor, but when it gets close or on the ground you can slam them on the ground or bend their arm the wrong way. Japanese martial arts were based on throwing people on the ground and finish them, not punching them.

@hotpopcorncake That really is an ambiguous statement. Kung fu is only a blanket term for term for Chinese Martial Arts, and frankly, many east Asian Martial Arts has its roots in them one way or another. Trying to trace Taekkyon's roots is as ridiculous, because the only proof of its origins is a picture of a street exhibition of Taekkyon in the Joseon period, and that's just about it.

@Minds3ar Taekwondo was formed together by forcefully gathering all of Korea's kwans together with the intent of making it S.Korea's official sport. FORMED WITH THE PURPOSE OF BEING S.KOREA'S NATIONAL SPORT. WTF is Olympic Sport. ITF is more focused on the fighting aspect. Taekkyon is a martial art based on a korean game, Soobak is the original martial art in which Taekkyon is based. Though in current times, Taekkyon has gone back to it's Subak roots as a martial system.

I don't know a thing about Taekkyun, but:
Two things I like about this video:
1. Different kinds of kicks than the usual Taekwondo / Karate kicks. Very interesting.
2. They actually use lower body kicks and take-downs. Both Karate and Taekwondo lost a lot as martial arts by excluding lower body kicks and take-down in their tournaments. It's rare to find martial arts that include all or many aspects of fighting, too many just focus on one or two specific aspects.
BananaEatingGorilla 2 years ago
Though they have leg kicks and takedowns, they dont use their hands which puts them at the biggest disadvantage in martial arts history lol I belive this art was originally used with a weapon, so they didnt really use alot of hands because they had a weapon in their hands. I know Taekkyun has hand techniques, but they cant use them in the game. I heard that original Taekkyun was actualy said to be one of the most deadly arts they have discoverd. No one can kick like Taekkyun...

Before making any judgment about Taekkyun, learn about it!!!!
If you guys want any evidence that Taekkyun is traditional martial art or play of Korea, you may be able find ancient drawing of Koreans traditional play and martial art from BC 37 (the time when three separate kingdom: Koguryo, Sinla, and Bakjae were taking hold of Korea) to 1800. (When South Korea was called as Choshun- and by 1798, the Taekkyun was formally recorded in Jaemulbo, a Koreas encyclopedia)

thats not actually true, taekkyun was part of an older korean martial art called Subak, but can be played as a game aswell as a proper fighting style which pre dates karate. the motions in taekkyun and karate are very different and unrelated. during the japanese colonisation of korea, taekkyun was banned and some of its masters studied karate, which is how taekwondo was formed, although this is much more heavily based on karate than taekkyun, and the kicks are not taekkyun style kicks.

xolani83 2 years ago
@xolani83 Nice. What are the most effective kicks? Do you execute them differently than taekwondo kicks?
MattBaumann777 2 years ago
Taekkyun kicks are slightly slower than taekwondo kicks, as the power comes from the hip in a totaly different way, you have to sink down just before you kick and you drive up and through with the kick. its definitely more powerful than taekwondo, but the emphathis is to push through your opponent rather than cause impact damage

@xolani83 Cool. I do Karate but I'd be interested to learn Taekkyon. They don't teach anything like that around my area. It looks more powerful. I imagine you must do lots of flexibility training too.

the rules are complicated, but simplified, you fight 3 rounds, the first to win 2 rounds wins the fight. you win a round by either kicking to the head with force, or throwing your opponent to the ground. your not allowed to step back more than 2 steps in a striaght line, Kicks used must be taekkyun kicks. a penalty is given for breaking rules, penalty consists of standing with lead legs locked knee to knee & penalised player can only defend for set time period until match continues as normal
