Champions of ITF Taekwondo

Includes Pierre Guenette, Tomaz Barada, Hwang Su Il, and others.

If you can't appreciate what these guys do, don't watch it. Just because they aren't rolling on the ground doesn't mean they aren't good fighters.

What's the point of doing a highlight clip if there's no knockouts? Click on any boxing, muay thai or karate video and you have knockouts galore. Even judo videos show ippon throws, pins and tapouts. I want to see ITF TKD knockouts. I'm not alone on this issue am I?

Look up ITF knockouts or some of Tomaz Barada's videos. IThis video just highlights a bunch of ITF fighters in their hayday, also displaying their skills and whatnot. Not just a collection of knockouts, and sometimes knockouts can come off just a lucky punch, why would you want to see that as oppose to a display of skills. Judofan? How many knockouts do you see in Judo competitions?

If you want to see more contact check out the Hard Hits video I have, there are a couple of knockout clips there.

id rather be losing under light contact,no grappling rules than mma ones.Which are closer to what youll encounter in reality.Some fighters can overcome the limited training methods of their system through natural athleticism and attitude but very few.A guy called zelg galesic and polish lad juras spring to mind.They can hang with thai,mma and tkd.You can bet they dont limit themselves to tkd methods.

But still take into account an MMA match with it's rules doesn't really give an accurate depiction of a street fight, there is no small joint manipulation allowed, you can't bite or scratch or kick to the groin, I don't even think you can headbutt or rabbit punch in UFC. I think it might be an accurate depiction if two jujitsu practitioners got into a street fight, but not two regular people. But all martial arts regardless should go over self-defense techniques

[jinglebearr]

It also depends on the school, I attend an ITF style school, and every friday we have two sparring classes, ITF traditional sparring, and then a sort of street sparring where we allow grabbing and grappling to kind of go over real-world situations, and grappling skills, now while I think I have the grappling skills to be confident in a street fight, I still don't think I'd have enough to enter into a MMA event, but anyone that limits themselves to ONE art, aren't going to last long anywhere.

TKD which I studied for 5 years b4 heading to Muay-thia and now boxing gave me a huge ege in muay-thai and MMA in general. I dont use any grappling instead just use counter takedowns moves. If you take away the takedown it makes for a hard night for BJJ guys. Also in a real street fight youll prob fight more than one which makes BJJ completely useless. YOu cant try to submit one while another is kicking your teeth in. Better to have direct strikes to end fights as quickly as possible.

wildes Geboxe und z.T. voll durchgezogene Techniken, die im Gegenspruch zum Leichtkontakt stehen - ich kann mich für ITF nicht begeistern - sorry

[legendarystrawhat]

Awesome, I always liked taekwondo, and I love to see some good fighters to.

[bronxxs]

por aca dicen q david kerr es el mas grande de todos los campeones? es un buen peleador pero sus ultimos 2 mundiales los gano con una ITF totalmente dividida, o se que gano solo una porcion del mundial, grandes campeones son los de antes: paul germain, tapilatu, prone, etc

[judofan]

KOs from hard throws do happen every now and again in judo. Judo is a grappling sport so as a spectator you are there for the Ippon. A big throw, pin or tapout all score Ippon.
