[stefkoriz]

@macktheknife888 you are a retard

[tkdguy92]

anyone know whats the name of this song btw?

[brunothebrowndog]

@tkdguy92 It's Da Funk- Chemical brothers remix (original by daft punk)

[tkdguy92]

@brunothebrowndog thanks man!

[TheGuyWithDaFace]

Can someone explain to me, why they keep their hands down and barely block with their hands???

[jimbabwe08]

@TheGuyWithDaFace at this level of competition you can't just go in and attack, they keep their hands down to bait certain attacks so they can punish with their own attacks or combinations, it is basically like a chess match they already have lots of things planned out so the first person to make a mistake loses

[tkdguy92]

@TheGuyWithDaFace if someone swings a bat at you would you try to block it or dodge it? In tkd we emphasis on dodging. This isn't some boxing/kick boxing match where they just stand close to each other exchanging blows with their hands up. Competition sparring is about being fast and scoring points. There's no way you can kick someone that fast with your hands up guarding your face etc.

[blueC0MET]

@tkdguy92 OMFG THANK YOUUU

people never get that a trained kick could be as or even more powerful as a bat swung at full speed. It just doesn't feel as powerful because the bat is one solid piece and your legs have like muscle and fat surrounding it...

[thebluedragon07]

there is no such thing as a strong martial arts, for some its kick boxing, for others its karate, others would say muay thai, but the truth is, its not about the style, its about the determination of the Martial Artist that makes Martial Arts so great.

[KJEWLE]

@thebluedragon07 right there with you mate thats what ive been saying

[freshbutt4]

taekwondo is the weakest martial arts kick boxing is the best

[FlipSnipeZ]

@freshbutt4 sike... your hella wrong.

[TheJennyAndrade1]

Amooo TKD éh simplismente o melhor esporte que existe, e o vídeoo ficou muito bom! ;D

[MillerGenuineCraft]

Great music choice! I have AWESOME Taekwondo videos too!!! in HD!!!

[Niactz]

@MillerGenuineCraft First time that I actually check someone's channel that spams comments like this. And I must say it worthed it ^^

[taekwondo77master]

[thomas4704]

@snapper842002 fuck you little bitch you can't even afford martial art classes you go to learn of videos of the internet little bitch you got shit say write back fucken pussy

[2itouch]

[snapper842002]

@2itouch I love watching it. it's better than comedy central

[GetHurtNLaugh]

whats this song?

[fullonsk8]

look this good tkd video!!!! :)

watch?v=BdO2LJ_v5w8

[xsjado321]

this makes me laugh

[53v3N7]

They look like jumping jacks... they don't seem to be trying to kick *through* the opponent, just stopping at the point of impact - eh, good enough for point scoring Olympic games, but certainly not the street.

[spinkicker43]

Or the fact that people are getting knoucked out by these kicks, and yes they are kickign to destroy, their just nice and smooth fast kicks, not your average two year old bull shit...

And yes, actualy TKD teaches real "THROUGH" kicks.

[SarahSunwalker]

@53v3N7

No one argues this. The Olympics is shit for martial arts. They are only scoring points here. There's no power. It's not fighting anymore, it's just a game.

I do Muay Thai. There's talk of getting Muay Thai in the Olympics, but most professional fighters will think it's a joke if it's wearing body armor.

[spinkicker43]

No power? What was the knouckout for?

Why don't you see that in boxing?

I could go on, bwhahah most professional fighters haven't taken the kicks they do during the olympics, but honestly post a video of you taking one so damn well from one of these athletes I will believe you.

Its for the fighters own good, like the head gear in boxing, protection, you want to hurt but not kill.

Yes I was a Muay Thai practitioner at one point of time, chances you are in a watered down gym.

[SarahSunwalker]

@spinkicker43

No. I train in Thailand by a for mer Champion of Thailand, Ole Kiet Oneway. I also fight, without protection.

The sport is being ruined. There are some powerful kicks. But most the round house they do here are weak as fuck, just trying to hit the point scoring areas, but would never land a KO in real life.

[spinkicker43]

I disagree kindly sir, this is in fact, the SPORT side of Tae Kwon Do, originally we tried using straight Tae Kwon Do, and without any sort of protection including gloves, it became messy and to some legends lethal. So they decided to have something that would still be full contact that would hurt and knouckout, but without the lethality and messenis of actual fighting.

The kicks would easily break ribs, its a fact. Traditional TKD which all these atheletes trained in, teaches real fighting.

[SarahSunwalker]

@spinkicker43

Muay Thai and Boxing are still functioning fine without all this safety BS. Don't be soft.

I like TKD; I train it. But I don't like what they're doing here.

[spinkicker43]

Oylmpics boxing uses headgear...MT isn't an olympic sport.

I keep trying to drill my point into that head of yours, but you should know if you practice TKD that the traditional methods are very lethal and effective.

[SarahSunwalker]

@spinkicker43

Olympic Boxing does not attract the best Boxers in the world. Olympic Boxing is ametuer; it's not professional.

TKD has some very powerful strikes. The turning back kick; my most powerful strike I have straight from TKD.

However, no move in TKD is banned/illegal to use in a Muay Thai ring. Many people use the TKD back kicks in Muay Thai and have no problems.

[spinkicker43]

You keep talking of kicks, you must have no idea what TKD ACTUALLY teaches.

Back kicks are wonderful, but not neccesairly lethal.

[SarahSunwalker]

@spinkicker43

Enlighten me:

What does TKD REALLY teach?

What in TKD is more powerful than the turning back kick?

[spinkicker43]

Various hand techniques like the spear fingers that produce little power, but towards the right area, EX. Throat, Zyphoid Process, Sternem, Groin, ETC they can be lethal or hugely debilitating towards combatives.

Disarms, the bane of handguns and knives, I was taught not only to take the weapon, but other ways to use the weapon to kill the user with out taking it away. I have a long list, and If you want I can share more.

[spinkicker43]

And Taekwondo teaches the art of the fist and the foot, unlike the usuall youtuber that see's sparring videos of people wildly kicking at eachother and jumping everywhere, Traditional TKD which all athletes of TKD have been taught [some need to be taught more] teaches fast aggresive striking with fist, foot, knee, elbow, palm, fingers, etc...and it teaches where to strike.

I still can explain more if you want to

[SarahSunwalker]

@spinkicker43

What does poking someone in the eyes have to do with using excessive padding gear in TKD "fights"?

[spinkicker43]

Because it can not be used in the ring, that why.

People can shit on TKD for its sport side, sure people that have never even actually seen TKD outside of these damn videos, but its the fact that TKD is still today a lethal Martial art, and even though its not so fabolues in the rings it still kicks ass.

[SarahSunwalker]

@spinkicker43

So you have nothing to say about wearing protection gear in sport?

[spinkicker43]

I do, its the Olympics, everybody needs to go back to their country. Originally we didnt fight with padding, but it's very neccesary, matches aren't once a year but for me monthly and practices daily, hammering at eachother day to day would produce negative effects.

But hell if people are barfing up blood, or in my case having three ribs broken, then what's the big deal?

Even in the head gear a close friend of mine had his jaw shattered.

[SarahSunwalker]

@spinkicker43

Shit happens. This is supposed to be fighting. Most people can deal with unprotected fighting.

In Thailand, some people fight full Muay Thai rules once every week and get elbowed in the face. They don't complain.

You're being soft.

[spinkicker43]

Im being soft?

Beleive me the stuff I have done wouldn't be considered soft. And the fact is TKD isn't professional fighting...The last thing you think of when 2 ribs are broken and your lunge is punctured is this shit being soft.

[miha75moha]

please do. It may be useful in my later training (i am green belt)

[spinkicker43]

My Grandmaster, and Master would take us out on jogs, while we ran they would point out useful objects to win a fight, or strategic locations to gain the upper hand.

We often trained in parkinglots, allyways... etc, to make us used to not only landing on our faces, but from getting cut by concrete or corners, we did many things, ask a question and I will try to answer.

[miha75moha]

figth details would be nice

[spinkicker43]

There are no BEST combo's, perhaps for situations their could be GOOD combos, but there are no best.

Is your Master not properly teaching you self defense?

Or are you just trying to extend your knowledge?

Either way, list off a couple situations and I will do my best to answer.

[spinkicker43]

Then he is holding that information to make you a better student, jumping from basic TKD to more advanced is very dangerous, such as the fact of some schools teaching nerve strikes to none masters, perhaps you are being taught combo's and techniuqes without knowing it, this is very common in good Dojangs.

Reflect with him first on this, it's important to give feedback to your Masters and Grandmasters.

But give me a couple of situations and I will list good combos, and techniques.

[spinkicker43]

Reflect on the techniques you have been taught, many times basic white belt, and colored belt forms and techniques are the best approach to fights, many people over look the basics, to eager to know what they don't.

But look towards your poomseas espicially, they show the ways of the Hwarang Warriors, and if they are effective in battle there evective in fights.

[tcbtheking01]

i know an axe kick is powr full i was in my tkd class yester day and all the class was watching theys dude sparring n shit this kid who came from africa nam john gave this dude an axe kick and the poor dude was ko almost like a hr. lol some funny shit

[Samuraillama]

people dont use punches cause its harder to score with a punch in olympic sparring, it has to be a jarring blow= the opponent has to be like 3 ft distant from where you punch him... and not all the refs can correctly see the technique to judge it... hence wasting energy

[BlueM0nk]

this is all fine and dandy from a distance, but it seems like when they are up close, they don't know what to do. not to mention it LOOKS nice, but where are the punches?

yes, yes bash me call me an idiot whatever. but just respond to what i SAID

[ysakoko]

punches are sometimes looked down apon and used as a last ditch move that's why they avoid it

[BlueM0nk]

really? but if they are effective, and you're too close for a kick, wouldn't it be better?

why are they looked down upon?

[ysakoko]

sry, forgot to mention the damn WTF and their rules

military taekwondo is much better for real combat

[InsipitSatan]

its called taekwondo..and its an Olympic sport for a reason.. their are specific rules. just like in any other sport.

[BlueM0nk]

Oh so i's a matter of rules? I didn't know. I get the vibe your a bit defensive. I meant no offense.

[Lilluanjon]

/watch?v=h90xcCsBh2Y

PLEASE WATCH THIS!!

UNFAIR GOLD MEDAL FOR KOREA

[ColdMaster1345]

Taekwondo is so cool

[ofargiuqabipap]

1:34 Best :)

[halo364]

Are they not allowed to block with their hands? Why is their guard so low?

[fungoli]

In Sport TKD protocting the Hogu or chest protector is very important. Often times keeping guards low allows low blocks close to the body to protect the hogu from being connected with by a scoring kick.

[mauzz315]

@halo364: cuz when ur hands are down u have more stability and also u can block ur back...

[itExotik]

Their guard is low to block kicks, notice how they aren't allowed to punch to the face.

[shaniemahusay]

taekwondo is safiest martial arts!

[DanielTrongDao]

nope, theyre are probably more knockouts in tkd then any other martial art

[untouchableevozone]

no 2

[23fss]

[kostakolaric]

0:24 hahahaha

[Naruto091488]

This music makes me want to go to the bathroom. But I believe Athens > Beijing

[liquidmeat55]

yes Athens was better than Beijing by a long shot. Idk why you have -6 thumbs down. But the WTF rules have changed

kick to the body 1 point

180+ or jumping kick to body 2 point

head shot 3 point

180+ or jumping kick to the head 5 point

the ring was reduced from 10x10 meters to 8x8 meters. They also dont allow pauses at anytime during the match to fix gear. It will increase the action for the world champion ship 09+ and 2012 London olympics.

[insongcmp]

lolz... what are you talking about???

so if a guy hits the opponents head 3 x 3?

lolz dont be stupid. ive actually watch the beijing..

the rules are just the same. lolz. 1 point to the body. 2 points to the head. no matter how fancy it is...

[liquidmeat55]

3 points for a head shot shot now. And no im not being stupid, Master Tae Eun Lee told me this and many others. M.Lee goes too all the olympics since seoul 1988. These are the new rules and there were a few vids i saw with them. After Beijing was when they changed the rules. I cant find a video right now but if you really want to find out just wait until the 2009 world cup or something and the rules will apply. For now you dont have to argue or listen to me... just wait

[DanielTrongDao]

hey, i learn under Master Tae Eun Lee too! :D

[liquidmeat55]

so you must live in Ottawa right? what belt are you?

[DanielTrongDao]

redstripe soon to be red belt hopefully

[liquidmeat55]

you should join the sparring team! i havent been there in a few months due to a knee injury.. But when i come back ill mainly be at sparring practises

[teamAmerica07]

really? i didnt know about the jumping kick to the head = 5 points.

but its true that head shorts are 3 points,

[kararioriginal]

WTF all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) i just love WTF. im a junior black belt.i hope one i go to the olympics..:).2016.ill try for 2016. and it sux cuz in the town where i live there's only 1 WTF school :(.

tkd rules.

[Egilmannen]

If u train ITF can u join sparring in WTF ? or it isnt allowed?

[kararioriginal]

idk. u can join a wtf class and ask them wat can u do cuz u do itf and they might test u in ur abilities and stuff haha.

[gmfk12lk]

im cypriot and i want the korean guy to win

[PPGdan]

well yes i for example have competet once a karate-fighter and once someone who was doing kung fu... and i think it depends on the fighter, and not on the style, you just have to be more open minded to compete against other styles! well of course its not easy cause you dont have your normal conter-attacks and so on but its fun

[ajejdosd]

3:23,,,, holy

[Expoo7]

i do taekwondo as appendix to my boxing training and i enjoy it as nothing else it gives me most of ma pleasure fantastic

try it

[phaneuf91]

thats awesome that u do that im actually doing bjj and tkd and maybe might throw in some boxing

[LapeBaek]

In Taekwondo u can use hand,but your head will be cut off....cuz the real Art is to kick the Head from any side with a LEG,with hand is very easily,just punch it and that`s it.With the leg is very difficult....that`s the different between WTF and ITF(with due respect)....:))

[fareiz88]

taekwondo is very dangerous game...

[TKD960]

Olympic style sparring (WTF) focusses on leg techniques in sparring. Other styles (ITF and TAGB for instance) use alot of hand techniques aswell as kicks

[BlackBrigade12]

Yea, u have 2 be a member, and kinghercules, i bet u dont like it cause ur a fuckin illegal. Ima call the irs on ur ass u mex.

[Kinghercules]

what da fuck you talkin bout?

[Kinghercules]

I hate the ITF and WTF because you have to be a member of them to compete and shit. Thats some bullshit. The tournaments should just be open to any styles.

[DrMBA28]

Have you ever competed tkd against other styles? It's annoying because they constantly disobey the rules during matches.

[KrazyDave1978]

yo you got to get your facts correct before making a comments on Taekwondo. This is not K1 or the ISKA something like that you know what i'm saying. it is the Olympics. It is how they do it in the Olympics only. In K1 you will see hand technique being use more. Still if you don't like it that is cool too but keep in mind that Taekwondo as a sport can be use differently. I don't knock any of it. I love all martial arts. If you can do better then them talk all you want to if not well. . . . ;-)

[1bol1]

to all of you guys that thinks that tkd has no hand techinniqes, in itf ou use hands very much cuz it's the traditionel taekwondo or the real one, in wtf it's pretty useless to use punches cuz you use torso gear and ou can't hit the opponents face and you doesent hurt the opponent if u punch him on the torso

[TribalHeadProduction]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Tae Kwon Do translate to "The Way Of The Hand and Foot?"

[Alphinsly]

yups it sure does! = D

[nosfero]

yes u are right!

[lilstardust777]

This is Tae Kwon Do Olympic-Style sparring. When you can kick like this, hand techniques mean very little. It's all about distance, timing and speed. Punches rarely count as points unless your rock your opponent's world. ;)

[TribalHeadProduction]

I don't think it woould be very wise to practice just foot techniques though. For sport, maybe, but for everything else, it would be nice to have hand techniques, wouldn't it?

[necromanc223]

Taekwondo is simple,

Block and parry with you hands,

and deal the damage with your leg techniques :)

[brentlion]

..they do practice hand techniques, as much as those dealing with the legs. but, they (i should say we, because i used to practice taekwondo, now i have my own style) focus more on leg techniques in training, or during competition.

[alesh12345]

O.O i' m prefer the taekwon do ITF

[eaglebreath5]

holy axe kick at 2:35, that was fricken awesome!!!!!!!!

[YumeNoEien]

totally sucks youtube removed the music on highlights 1. It frikkin rocked.

[JaouadDuTkd]

cool =D

[jeijei7]

nice-video!

[bqureshi390]

no style is the best. its the practitioner...when ppl gonna use their brains??

[spinkicker43]

this is the sport side of TKD, lolz and i know people are gonna keep callign sparring useless... yes for fighting it is but this is sport...

actual TKD is hella lethal

[MatzGyver]

is tkd only kicking? sorry I really don't know!

[nickanhtran]

tkd use hand too 30% to 40%! type taekwondo itf on youtube and find it! you'll see

[DAVISITO25]

i dunno why..but the older the tkd video is...the more exciting it gets...it seems like tkd is loosing its charm with all the stupid rules!

[JoeEngu]

I don't know about you guys, but TKD to me shows the most love after beating the crap out of each other, with the exception of that one ref getting kicked in the face, but i guess he deserved it

[xxljmzlxx]

lol comparing mma to tkd to karate is like comparing a dell to a hp to a acer... it really depend on the hardware within...

[roybaerPL]

no all of you are wrong, wie all know mika-do is the best for self-defense.

[ursnck]

no mma is the best

[Peppergon]

taekwondo and karate are the best ;D

[HUMPHREY108]

taekwondo is just the best.

[ursnck]

this shit is so gay and not practical at all

[nyquill13]

Woot taipei

[sifistaek]

there is only one thing to say... speed!!!!!

[TkdHucker]

Awsome brappin skills

[Martin716]

is it permitted to block kicks with underarms and hands? i don't see anybody doing it :p beautiful martial art!

[OriginalReason]

its permitted...no body doing it coz they know when u block there's a chance for them attack u sec time and it`ll be deadly blow....so no block de...

[JaeTeeTube]

thats probably true, but seriously that's not a reason not to block. it seems like their hands are just useless appandages. you were given hands, USE THEM

xD

[OriginalReason]

nice~...yaa u are right...when i`m sparring and that time i`m exhausted,i use hand to dodge every attck that came to me...that bcause skill and mind power is important...

[1bol1]

the tv channel from 0:18 to 1:13 is swedish, it's called svt 2

[Eric0066]
