[tumama69100]

1:06 where are you going??

[tirtashintaro]

1:02 , that's gonna be hurt..

[KimuraTerebi]

excuse my ignorance, but you can't check these kicks?

[DauterProductions]

My instructor is one of the referees in this video :D

[lippzzz77]

Watching the video on silent sucks , maybe it's the music -:(

[Jediblackopps]

0:18 that was nice

[electricalsun11]

I just switched from training in karate (I was a first degree black belt with 7 years under my belt) to training in taekwondo. I'm a yellow belt and damn, this makes me psyched for my regulation gear to come in. ^^

[Larka1121]

It does seem like they're acting cocky after they score a kick

but, do they do that to lower their opponent's confidence (how would you feel to be kicked and then have your attacker celebrating?) and to make sure the judges actually give them the point :D

[Surisurifang]

If u ever got hit by kick. U cant say that prangster

[RudeWARRIOR83]

kick kick kick kick...

[KwonSeoulJah]

Thumbs Up If you hate it when after they have scored a kick they start jumping up and down being cocky like at 0:26 and at 0:31

[MultiGetoverit]

why the fuck do recordings have to be ruined by fucking music

[whdghchoi123]

imma go practice that kick at 0:45

[cougher989]

"making love to your mother" lol.

[icewizard5]

I saw that fight..the first 2 fighters..

[panzercom]

@prangster, because that shit hurts.

[prangster5]

i dont get what the point is???? can they punch, if not why not??? why dont they do it without head gear or the chest thing. why are they all asian even when its the russian team? it seems like dancing

[mohawkmohican]

@prangster5 is mainly about kicks but in tkd you can punch but only straights, why the head and body pads? cause TKD kicks are bloody fast and hurt :P and at olympic level its more about point scoring than getting a "Knock-out" reason the dont punch is because you can reach further with a sidekick than a fist but i have won fights with punches they for a Sidekick sidestep it and fist to the face if they dont have a gaurd, seems like dancing but is just fast kicking and good balance :P

[aymenkid]

@prangster5 They can punch. But if you try to punch, any black belt taekwondo player will kick your face if you come near to punch them. Also, it's not dancing, they are fake kicking sometimes and when they do kick, it really hurts especially on side of the head even with protection.

[OffspringFTW65]

Yeah, iv been doing bjj for 2 years now, Iv competed n stuff, and regarding what the competitions look like to other martial arts, it appeals more to the practicioner because they understand what's going on, but majority of spectators don't...And iv never really thought much of TKD but this video is badass as shit, I love how if they miss one kick, they are able to keep that momentum spinning and their bodies moving forward, People shouldn't underestimate this haha.

[jacksoncole79]

Taekwondo! ftw babe

[sun670]

yo practico MMA ( artes marciales mixtas ) las amo pero igual, el TKD lo encuentro genial :)

[JRBouncerz2010]

People stop moaning about how good your Martial Art is. Yes I admit it I am a Karate-Ka. I have been practicing Karate for 2 years but who cares. This is a Tae Kwon Do video stop saying that every other Martial Art is better because it isn't. You are just giving your Martial Art a bad name. I watched this video because I love Tae Kwon Do just because I don't practice it doesn't mean that I don't like it. My big cousin got her Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. This Martial Art is Awesome!!!!

[4WayAudioinput]

thumb up if you muted the song

[xtremecomber]

muay thai is more dangerous :)

[kaneXundertaker]

you cant even beat a white belt in this so i guess this is better than your life.

[CathaterW]

So the point is to kick them in the stomach...and make them fall? I thought TKD was badass, but i guess i can stick to other things...

[astoneham]

Nice editing

[3ssance]

The one thing I'm slightly disappointed about modern TKD culture are the celebrations after points. Like all martial arts the foundations are in sportsmanship and balance you know zen shit? But now days people are like smack* HURRRR I AM THE KING OF EVERYTHINGGGGG FIST PUMP

[WOok2a]

dam axe kicks...

[Puertorico2494]

I like the description.XD I agree.

[shotojojo1986]

God I love taekwondo. And Im a hardcore Japanese Karate guy. Your guys kicks are so clean.

[MasterExploder6]

That is the best description for a video ever.

[officerbman024]

Beautiful kicks

[666WalczaK666]

OTEP - Confrontation. / the song

[666WalczaK666]

OTEP

[BriCareful]

is a push kick to the chest a point????

[puktihop]

@BriCareful no, sadly.. but when a perfect push kick hits and your opponent is out of balance, it's very easy points from there. an opponent out of balance is like kicking on a sand bag :)

[BriCareful]

@puktihop Yea thanks for the comment im gonna use that push kick from now on!

[jcvdevil]

They stole the fight from the honduran guy 

[XxjceeT6xX]

It looks so easy to push someone down >.<

[pearldrum2004]

@XxjceeT6xX if you got hit with the force that goes behind these kicks, you'd fall down too...and probably not get up.

[blacktheory]

otep fucking rocks. Amazing choice of soundtrack love.

[OriginalReason]

1:06 bad move....1:18 - 1:21 nice kicking bag xD

[Keisy027]

Woooooooooow, it amazing :O .. I love it :D jajaja .. Taekwondo is cool :P

[flakayeraldin]

Es mi vida, es mi todo, amo el Taekwondo

[ElCanalDelMysterio]

@flakayeraldin Yo eso pero con Judo :)

[trentdelasario]

Love the video. Hate the stupid, stupid soundtrack. We never had this garbage playing in any dojang I ever trained in. It is disruptive to meditation.

[666WalczaK666]

OTEP ! ! ! ! ! ! xD

[Nickie025]

wow. this makes the hair on my skin rise up.

im a white belt now and i think this makes me even more enthusiastic in learning taekwondo

[OriginalReason]

@Nickie025 yeah!!! keep up the good work...

[AdogBiscuit]

ya when u get hammered in the face u see stars

[falconacademy]

youtube.com/watch?v=LxCWmky5j7­0&feature=recentf

[DualAxer]

How do you like a naeryo chagi on you face... it's like Thor's Hammer striking down on you...

[TKDBOY100]

LOVE THIS VIDEO !!! NICE MAN !!! :D :D :D !!

[guitarhippo12]

im not sure who it is, but one of these guys has a mean ass axe kick. =o

[ES7upyours]

song fail

[deatheater1000]

all the kicks are mostly chico cha gi, (axe kicks). lmao

[baksadro]

自分は、日本人ですが、本場のテコンドーは、素晴らしいです。ま­だまだ、レベルが違いますね。

[CAPD055]

SHIT MUSIC

[MrBringingitback]

What is the difference between WTF and ITF Taekwondo?

[deatheater1000]

@MrBringingitback i think that the biggest diffrence from WTF to ITF is that in ITF they dont use as much protection, and its has more contact. WTF is more of a sport, like you see in the video :) i practice WTF taekwondo and i think its awsome!

[ES7upyours]

@MrBringingitback one difference is wtf doesnt punch to the head and itf does

[RayrayEatsCrayons]

those back kicks are strong enough to break a rib

[sLIMshadyKP]

Damn, should've kept going with "The Landing" rather than with "Confrontation".

[MoKillaGorilla]

i want 2 see the Lyoto Machida of Taekwondo. 

[ArseneWenger12891]

@MoKillaGorilla

The Lyoto Machida is Hadi Saei, search him up, True Champion.

[MoKillaGorilla]

@ArseneWenger12891 how dumb are you? honestly? your unintelligent tiny little man. i didnt bash your video what so ever. the only thing that

MoKillaGorilla

2 weeks ago

i want 2 see the  Lyoto Machida of Taekwondo.

would imply is that i want to know who has the most talent in this sport, or who has enough talent to dominate in another sport. all this shows is your severe insecurity in your life long waste of time in a all but useless "art" form

[ArseneWenger12891]

@MoKillaGorilla

WTF are you talking about ?! . You asked a simple question you got a simple answer, don't write me a essay back talking a whole lot of shit you dumb fucking CUNT!

[hugoestr]

I liekd just because of what you said in your description. Well said.

[morrielo4]

pamatay ung ask kick!!

[witegetobro]

horrible song.

[fullonsk8]

look this good tkd video /watch?v=xC9D-0gu_dQ

[Sweetsweetslither]

Does any one block? Are they allowed to block? I wanna see a defensive hi-lite reel:S

[TheKakarutu]

Taekwondo mempunyai kekuatan yg sangat sempurna,bila kamu mendalaminya.DAN IV WTF

[TheKakarutu]

Taekwondo mempunyai kekuatan yg sangat sempurna,bila kamu mendalaminya.DAN IV WTF

[A1rE]

Man... why is it so hard for some ppl to understand the purpose of martial arts. It's not about who can beat up who and who, that stuff is for teenagers. the idea of martial arts is the discipline, learning to use ur body and mind and in a worst case scenario defend urself or just the fun of the sport. but it's definitely NOT about fighting, are ppl really so stupid that they think they can prove something by bashing someone up? sounds kinda childish to me...

[bonethug68]

@A1rE a million thumbs up to that

[TiMzJrProNick]

I like that song

I like that fight

I like all!

That's cool!

[nazistube]

Love this Vid shows Taekwondo at its best. Shout out to all my fellow Taekwondo martial artists. The training is hard but it pays of in the end. In more ways than you would expect.

[shades715]

I did tkd for 6 years and I still don't like it lol. And this sparing is boring to watch imho. Same thing over and over and over and over. Thats just me,

[JuKa3177]

they should have olympic muay thai or regular kick boxing like k1 grand prix

[narutoFMAl]

wow wow

[snapper842002]

WORST MARTIAL ART EVER

[starplayer996]

@snapper842002 Have you ever tried it? In matches there are a lot of rules that forbid grabs and tosses and stuff, but just in class, it's pretty intense. I love it to death.

[tapoutcampion111]

@snapper842002 lol its the martial artist not the martial art a real martial artist that does tkd throws kicks and punches elbows knees plus tkd was made to be a defensive martial art and sport

[callmemarcer]

you and your shite music

[joesteph1952]

The first half of this video showed a number of diagonal roundhouses, slipping under the protective arm/elbow of the opponent. On a MA website, there's a discussion I'm participating in about the roundhouse kick, and though the diagonal isn't taught as an "approved" or "officially correct" way to execute a roundhouse, such as against a kick shield, when it comes to sparring, it's another story.

[Djcrazykidd]

From 1:06 to 1:10 , that one chick made the other her bitch, she couldn't even touch her.

[deguimerautube]

Gladys Mora, My wife @12:14

Facebook Gladys Mora, Team Colombia

[asianboi1004]

1:06 - 1:08 the person just raises the feet and is just like oh no you dont XD

[kim04170]

2;32 damn too fast

[KGOperative2012]

Did anyone see the second kick coming at 0:44? It came just SO quick...

[EvanesceneMJ]

Awesome video! And you have a point, most people do not understand how great of a sport Taekwondo is.

[EnflamedKamikaze]

I'm not even halfway through this vid and I must say it's are 110% badass.

[XbenjaminXL3]

did they forget then can punch or punches arent allowed?

[Mike3303]

@XbenjaminXL3 Punches are allowed, but 1:06 is a good example of why you might not want to try that.

[XbenjaminXL3]

@Mike3303 lol true but unexpected punches would we fun to see :D

[knucklechukka]

@Mike3303 you dont get any points for hand striking techniques

[Mike3303]

@knucklechukka Oh really? In my tournaments, I recall them being counted. Then again, that about 7 years ago.

[knucklechukka]

@Mike3303 that is only what my coach said bro but he also said they have to have a definitive impact not just a small jab or weak strike

[FFMarca]

@knucklechukka You do actually. 1 point for a straight punch to the body.

[TOWinkworthIpswich]

are you allowed to sidekick?

[khairuleven]

actually raising hands after points and not putting hands up are not even good in tkd match,use it for fakes but only at some moment.in my tkd career i keep my hands up or im gonna be kicked in the head,though sometimes i keep guard low to bait him to attack.

[jccuddles]

DUDE I don't know why anyone would talk crap bout this video. I think it's cool! Taekwondo kicks hurt! Good job on the video!

[alaricofarabia]

Nice video (awesome music), and nice comments from the poster. I'm into mma, haven't done tkd in a long time, but I agree. People shouldnt always start yapping about how much better their own thing is. tkd is cool in itself, mma related or not.

[khairuleven]

i enjoy all head kicks

[keathm1]

gawd that gets me so amp'd to spar

[ma11os]

WOW look at the K.O's it's so COOL

[genises100]

this is probably video quality or something, but are they kicking really slow for a reason?

[17Chucks]

Taekwondo ! I'm sitting here with my Dobok :)

[Djgrishk26]

The song is confrontation by otep. When did not using hands come into play????

[wafelijzerstekker]

why do they fall to the ground so many times? I practise itf taekwon-do and I get some hard kicks to the body/head sometimes, but I almost never fall to the ground. just block or take the hit. It's no good lying on the ground in a battle. nor in a match were you give the opponent a point :p

[xXTheGoldenBoy17Xx]

the kick at 1:07 was super sweet :P

[randomIy]

haha i like your description :)

[Jhill409]

I do Wtf tkd, krav maga and mma. But tkd is still some of the hard hitting crap i've ever done. I use my tkd skills with evrything i do. It makes you fast and accurate I'll respect anyone's opinion but if you don't understand it maybe you should find a good school and train in it. I hated tkd back in the day now i've got 20yrs under my belt and i still love it.

[Don123q]

@Jhill409 so do u teach now? I'm 14 years old and i got 8 years under my belt :D

[Jhill409]

@Don123q im currently trying to finish some college courses but i know some great schools. here in Michigan Midwest tkd is good tught my master gale and pinizzo. if your in ohio ttf in columbus is taught by chrstinia bailey a olympic competitor. in miami juan moreno connectcuit. Other there just some good more family oriente places that are great as well but if youwant good competition training try those ones i told you. thanks for asking and have fun training.

[Don123q]

@Jhill409 Thanks :D but the funny thing is, is that I'm Canadian. xD

[Jhill409]

@Don123q ha too funy well ive fought some peole there that was good but i dont know the schools. sorry.

[Don123q]

@Jhill409 Oh well I'm happy with my school for now

[danielmurdoc6]

is good

[danielmurdoc6]

cual es el nombre de la rola?

[pepsi89]

i think you have to incorporate some slow motion which is captured by the zoom camera in the olympic...if u know what i mean..

[sharaine1000]

fantastic!!!!!!can i know the title of this song? pleaseeee!!!

[dreamo4screamo]

[nasgul320]

[andreeacoman89]

what is with that music?????

[dominking16]

they use pads because thats how u can sparr they did had pro taekwondo but to many ppl got to hurt you do know taekwondo is not so old in the martial arts world so give the sport time to grow and get better dont try and say it sucks cuz what you see here is only sparring u do use other moves if u try and use taekowndo in the street or in a real fight it works

[laleyist]

como se llama la cancion????

whats the name of the song???

[exodia94]

idiot, lawler, are u another keyboard warrior, sitting ur fat ass down on the chair facing the computer everyday typing nonsense comments like this?

@exodia94 yea man,lawler is such a bitch. y dun he be a real warrior and take me on. oh, btw i learn tkd too.black belt. but i learn from STA(singapore tkd academy) something like ITF.

[therealvyperx]

[npkyo]

[npkyo]

[spikemore]

hahah yeah seems like the axe kick owns

but lol im not really into this but can they use their fists? or their hands to block?

[axium403]

hahaha axe kick fucking pwns

[Archfiend1900]

[darkreaper91]

@lawler123 stupidest form of thinking ever witnessed in my life

[sleepykid156]

"For the record, I don't care about how great you are at BJJ, Kickboxing, Judo, Karate, Wrestling, making love to your mother, etc.. "

quite a rude comment about other styles don't you think?

[weren3answer]

Shut up your an idiot!

Paine566 go fight in Iraq or something poor man!

[anchtus]

@alice you mean at 0:45

[NinjaPOV]

sweet

[tollymick777]

why dont they ever use their hands or arms to block the kicks? i mean, all the pum-se is about blocking...

[ZEN824]

that's means that they can't catch the kicks with their eyes because the kicks are really fast. and they are not yet conditioned their muscle memory to block..

[netjap23]

@tollymick777 I remember the time when i use my shoulder to block the spinning kick it was like Sh!t !.. i need a doctor.

[shakdeesow]

awesome video dude.

[s88fifo]

looks like u like axkicks.

Good video,

[AliceKimWastesUrTime]

@s88fifo My favorite, followed by the back kick. =)

[s88fifo]

Hey dude

look, 2:33 its fuckin beuatiful. Can only be done by a tkd man or woman, no other martial art.

[s88fifo]

look how high he is with the right pitchagy before he goes with the pandoly

[MaJoViTe]

@AliceKimWastesUrTime i like the Axe kick and the jumping spinning hook kick... however i think ever kick got their own streng... im from Peru =)
