Have these people that disrespect Taekwondo ever sparred with a WTF Taekwondo fighter? They wouldn't stand a chance! The minute you step on the mat with a WTF fighter your disrespect will stop altogether.

this is competion tkd they have rules and technique that they use they are not street fighting. boxers have rules and that is a form of martial art would you say look at the boxers why dont they just throw a kick or you look at mma and say why dont they just gouge out the eyes I think you need to study the olympic side of this and try it yourself before you judge

@thepalacemaid Hwang Jung Lee and Dorian Tam Do Riang?

sorry, I have no clue who are they.. ^^"

I don't disagree what you said.. cause it's true.. but I feel the need to add more aspects to that.. but I restrain myself.. we'll never finish.. ^^

@scorpionpark7

VERY interesting in comparing top level guys from both styles. I would say a WTF guy would be hard to defeat if he has the jumping ability PLUS solidness; whereas an ITF guy woud be hard to beat if he has the solidness PLUS speed.

In any case, I alwasy believe that in a REAL fight, the only condition in which you can savely throw high kicks is when you have super speed AND balance. Two examples are Hwang Jung Lee and Dorian Tam Do Riang, do you agree?

@legslikelightning there's only one differnce from wtf sparring and itf. wtf can only kick to the head and body in itf you can kick to the head and body and punch to the head and body

Blue is good , but if he goes agianst other tkd wtf fighters hope he'll ace them , im pretty sure the red one is really nervous he could beat him if he goes in super fast along with a round house kick and while he was hugging him he could have moved out one inch and done a round house kick to the side of the chest protector is still near the protector so he'll get a point.

this 2 sucks

[veriitas33]

people stop showing off like you can beat people with your other form of martial arts!!! martial arts is all self control not to disrespect another form of art...whatever works for you works for you dont degrade others cause yours is better...daym kids be humble and you will be a champ..

[mariahearley1]

i'm a wtf fighter. legslikelightening is right, you get on the mat with one of us and you wouldn't stand a chance. i don't care how great your self defense is, you couldn't catch us anyway lol

@MadeInBGR "TaeDo" (I mean at WTF style) is much more spectacular than ITF style..

I'm agreed that ITF is more efficient than WTF but's not even on close a spectacular martial art like WTF.

I did both styles.. but a very good WTF Fighter is way better than a very good ITF Fighter. you must to confese that.. the ITF practitioners doesn't know to jump, doesn't know aerial kicks.. while the WTF fighters kicks almost only from jumps.. we fight almost only in the air. from a jump I can do 4 kicks!
