That was a spinning hook kick, not a roundhouse

Im a boxer. You can see this guy perfected his craft and this was no accident. Similar to the mighty mo vs koklai knockout.

That’s probably the most incredible kick I’ve ever seen

This is the official Olympic channel and they don’t know what a roundhouse is?

The essence of 태권도, a martial art for defending. 🇰🇷

So this guy gets gold but the Karate guy gets disqualified lol

I really wish there were more posts about TaeKwonDo

When your background knowledge about kicks is Chuck Norris memes…

Excelente acción para ganar la medalla de oro

Taekwondo in the Olympics seems better than Karate. The karate Olympics don't allow ko's

Not a roundhouse. Spinning hook kick or spinning back kick. ❤

[TailorK]

Roundhouse is the most recognizable kick in the world. How do you mistaken this for a roundhouse? Just stupid clickbate bs. This is a spinning hook.
