Taekwondo: Sparring

Style: Song Moo Kwan - Taekwondo

Instructor: The late Ahimuto Masuda "Sabum" Almazan

Comments: I was 16 and a brown belt at the time this was filmed. I caught him with a stiff punch at the end of the match, and I still remember feeling bad about it. I now train in Muay Thai and am much bigger and stronger than I was in those days, but it's definitely fun to go back in time and remember where it all started!

How old was that guy?

[jread79]

Probably in his late 30s if I were to guess.  He had come over from another school and I don't remember him being around very long.

Why didn't you block any of those rib kicks?

I'm surprised you caught him...hands down and chin up is usually the text book defense when in any type of striking situation.

that was a nice punch you got him with.
