Mark Miller explains the practical problem with techniques which involve grabs, while emphasising the true non-sport Tae Kwon-Do way: One blow.. one finish.

  • MMA is a sport just like football or swimming. If you want to learn how to fight then you have to practice for that..... not sports.

  • @Mattjudo26 ...true

  • I train in BJJ and Kickboxing. This video brings up a valid point . BJJ is more practical for one on one fighting. In scenario's that involve multiple opponents it is definitely better to rely more on striking power and foot work. The only thing I don't get is why TKD fighters have to tap every 2-3 seconds when they are faced with BJJ grapplers. Those high kicks and board breaking punches dont ever seem to do much good.

  • @RaVenousWarMaChine I really like your comment thanks.. Ok im so glad its been said by someone so here goes.. TKD kicks are pointless when used as flashy display and almost 100% of the kicks ive seen in the past 15 yrs have been misused as in delivered wrongly.. TKD guys study the aplications that the kicks have been developed for and forget all the hollywood glamour shit..Also breaking a .5 inch board with lightening speed shows nothing. TKD started dying in 1989 R.I.P TKD

  • This guy can come across a little cocky, but if you get by that he has some good points. And perhaps a little cockiness is good in a fighter....JuJitsu is better for being grabbed; than doing the grabbing....

  • If I would be attacked in a bar, street, etc... my main objective would be to get out of the situations as quickly as possible, therefore your comments make good sense to me. Knowing where to strike and be most effective is key.

  • LOL! I was actually listening until he said Taekwondo. Had me fooled for a second there. Furthermore, this video mostly serves to highlight his lack of understanding of the way modern jujitsu (non BJJ) is practised. Strikes are used to set up techniques and make them easier to apply. Also if you have control of someone you can use them as a barrier/human shield, find your exit, and get out.

    That said, I agree that striking once can be much more efficient if successful with the first strike.

  • @mariusmasenas i would agree, true jujitsu is one of the more pure martial arts, encompassing everything from strikes to throws, and from grabs to reversals. and there is an abundance of techniques for defending against multiple attackers, quick "kills" that allow you to get one attacker down whilst you can move on to the next. at the end of the day though, any martial art will harden you & develop your control in a situation, and hopefully give you that slight advantage needed if attackd

  • "if you strike them they are finished"

    Really? So every guy you have ever struck went down? Either you have been in very few real fights or the people you were fighting were complete wimps. The "one strike, one kill" stuff is bullshit. Unless you have more striking power than iron mike it aint gonna happen.

    I teach BJJ and I train Muay Thai, and yes there are times you never want to go to the ground. I worked the door at clubs. But the one strike and he is done stuff is crap.

  • i train 25 years martial arts. and the difference i make in fighting is.. knowing that the fight take place, and being in the fight instantly. for the first type of fighting is mma great, for the survival situation its better to practice reactive arts as karate, tkd, wing chun, petjak, etc

  • @ahumanweaponvideo The worst thing thatever happened to martial arts was to become even slightly involved with movies.

  • @ahumanweaponvideo Yet breaking two bricks with a gap between them shows something? You seem pretty ignorant toward other martial arts. Jujitsu for example has pleanty of techniques for dealing with multiple attackers and TKD studied properly over time is a fully comprehensive and progressive self defence system. You have also said previously that you lost respect for the grading system but you still wear your black belt....

  • jujitsu it is the best ,,,

  • True, and also the issue that the "streets" are rough, unforgiving, and the knees and elbows get cut up easily on asphalt. No one should ever desire to stay on the ground, but escape to their feet again. Too many rocks, sand, and dirt to be shoved into the eyes. Those skills on the ground are to be trained, but never to stay and "roll" in self defense.

  • alot of bjj instuctors teach for situations like this and alot of bjj is throws......... but to your point dont wanna end upon ground thats why i train in defendu and muay thai as well
