  • cool

  • @Sappier93 and less chance of your opponent sprawling on you

  • i dont like the part where he said step back with the leading leg, if you drive your knee forward instead it is a much more powerfull takedown

  • If your on defense for the takedown, and you have time to think, you can just guillotine choke, and then your in control on the ground.

  • i find it much better coming down onto the knee of the lead leg, you can then get a lot more force when your shoulder hits him and you change level again when you step up. You can also wrap your back leg round his front leg and trip him alongside all of that.

  • @aJaday420 You have gained loads of my respect.

  • @markhippyshire

    in my opinion, you are right and wrong, if you step into the cage against an MMA fighter who is armed with multiple fighting styles, and you are only comfortable fighting tkd.... chances are, you will lose... but if you adapt kicks like a roundhouse kick, front/push kick, or spinning back kicks from tkd into your mma arsenal, they can be very effective... but your opinion has a lot of truth to it, and i respect your take on the sport...

  • @mrkiky Well I'm not going to try and show you, because it wouldn't take long. Maybe you could learn a little bit about how intelligent you and your generation really are by researching on the topic yourself. Otherwise, it's fine if you don't believe me.
