@EthanJM I believe you b/c he was my instructor as well haha. This was like 6 years ago though, I haven't seen him in quite a while. I'd love to go back eventually though.
master park was my white belt instructor and also ucmap master at cal tkd. he was a great man with a sense of humor that made you laugh all the time. we called him winnie the pooh. =) =P
I know most of you will not believe me, but Greg Baker was my instructor, I have been out of taekwondo for a few months and plan on going back. He teaches in Westerville and Newark, Ohio, Baker's taekwondo. I didn't know a video of him was on here until now. It is a thrill to watch.
Well if you were a smart taekwondo fighter, you wouldn't just throw kicks everywhere or you leave yourself open. That's why people don't throw kicks as often anymore. Only stupid people would do that.
In this video these were world class Martial Artists competing in Olympic sport with a Fighter's martial mindset. Most but not all of Today's TKD consists of athletes competing in a martial sport with a sparring mindset trying to win a game on points, not a fighter's mindset.
Damn... These guys are pure POWER!
+5 internetz for the vid from me.

The judges are humans with flaws and influenced by politics. That's how. The Olympics are not immune to human weakness and politics.
