  • Andy...I hear you! If it wasn't a style that I practiced since I was young I woudl think the same thing. I'm just so used to seeing it. I think the same thing about Karate forms (tricking). The thing is...if you go into a high level TKD match with your hands up like a kickboxer you'll get KOed! The rules of the game dictate the players stance, movement, etc... I think any martial artist that becomes too "stylized" is not going to be effective. Take what works and throw away the rest..

  • Trust me bro...it's not like you think. I've fought in TKD and now train in MMA. I see the hole's in the game of TKD, but I see holes in every fight sport. The nature of the rules is what dictates how fighters fight. If an MMA fighter wanted to fight a TKD guy using TKD rules they woudl get smoked! Just try blocking all those kicks, and some how throw your own attacks too. On the flip side a TKD fighter would get pummled in most other types of combats sports. We have to respect them all.

  • I would say that Jason Torres was the best fighter from the 90's. Moreno should have never made it to the 2000 Olympics.

  • I've got those old videos...that's how I made this one. I'll work on getting them up.  I'd like to be a legend!

  • This guy seems to have very little respect for any of his opponents. He's jumping around like a kid and celebrating every kick.

  • @masterjosharcemont ".if you go into a high level TKD match with your hands up like a kickboxer you'll get KOed"

    L O L...... no. Practicing a real combative stance doesn't make you weak against the sad game of foot tag that is Olympic TKD. Sport TKD is precisely why I upgraded to kickboxing after I got my 1st degree.

    "Take what works and throw away the rest.." Then TKD should have something that isn't hands-down, chin-up, bouncing in and out of range foot slapping

  • he is the best!!!!!! i hope that one day i can be as good as him:)
