  • That was a nice demo. I like the balance between the kicks & punchs in that video.

    I think if there are a good number of kicks on the mat with a good number of punchs

    it makes taekwondo a good art for self defence and great art to watch.

  • dudes go do some history

    it came from karate(shoto-kan if i remember correctly) and taekyun (i spelt it wrong)

see all

  • @mypeanut1975sc Hwarang is a made up concept, Taekkyon yes, and yes it does come from Shotokan the Founder of Taekwon-Do himself said so.

  • @TKD344 You are an idiot and you miss the point. 

  • @MaharlikaAWA I see you are 29 yrs old, have done all these martial arts? Maybe on X Box perhaps. If you were a true martial artist fella, you wouldn't critique others. As for TKD, was it ITF that you did?

  • @TKD344 Look at my profile. TKD, BJJ, Muay Thai, Boxing, eskrima, tai chai

  • @MaharlikaAWA What MA do you do?

  • @6arcsn1sky True!

  • @MaharlikaAWA all the sine wave real is, is rising and sinking power. Sink into your strikes to get the most power you can into your strikes.

  • Too bad General Choi (ITF) as well as the guys who run the Kukkiwon and the WTF both ruined Taekwondo. Seriously why the hell did General Choi actually think the sine wave was important? And why does kukkiwon get rid of classic forms as well as make everyone fight like idiots with thier hands down.

  • Actually the only reason people say that it came from shotokahn is because during the japanese occupation of korea, japan outlawed all korean martial arts and imprisoned or in some cases, killed those who practiced anything other than a japanese martial arts. so yes, while it is probably true that most founding fathers of taekwondo practiced a form of karate(shotokan being the most dominant at the time) taekwondo itself was the revival of the korean arts, practiced in secret all the while.
