Some years ago started picking up my MMA Mike Tyson peekaboo boxing some Mo Thai, some taekwondo, etc., Wrestling

Taekwondo is humiliated and disrespected. everyone thinks its weak, I did too. until I did taekwondo myself. I had sparrings with yellow belts and blue belts and the kick was not weak. y'all dont know the pain of those kicks.

What an explosive fighter. No doubt he will win the gold. May the force be with you.

Tips to make Taekwondo useful
-Kick through the target
-Hit with intent (Not just points, inflicting pain can be good to stun your opponent)
-Kick through the target
-Don't over complicate kicks (But still keep unpredictability)
-Please learn boxing
-Train hard and right
-Be strong not foot fencing fast (Taekwondo kicks with huge leg muscles can hurt someone really badly)

Esse garoto tem que entrar no MMA UFC. Vai ser da bem, ele tem o Taekwondo raiz na veia. É só treinar um pouco de jiu-jitsu .

Why’s everyone hating modern tkd, I know it’s different than old style but, it’s just about the player. If you like old style, play like one, it’s just the decision of the player if he/she wants to do old style, it’s just that simple.

Plz upload more videos about taekwondo

[VladimirMiyazaki]

Old School Taekwondo was legit nowadays Taekwondo is drained down in gutter!!!

I can see King David fighting like that

[jjgisfree]

Hey, ensure you stretch your achilles properly and explosive exercises with them, so they will be use of those explosive moves. you should a face bar to protect your nose while in sparring. Work on none telegraph kicks and punches too. Hard side kicks will drop your opponents guards if they have them. Target your opponents heads, midsections with liver kicks. You have sparr. I live your punches. cardios should be incorporated while sparring practices. Nutrition is a most. Sleep is a most. Vitamins are so important. No Peds!

The exercises that you are doing are fine for the general preparatory period, but not in the special preparatory period or the competitive period, for they aren’t biomechanically specific to tae kwon do striking.

To the people who are trying to bully tkd and the practitioners there some what right, but they have some flaws in doing so, as a tkd practitioner myself it honestly depends on the coach cause if ur coach is more on the modern tkd side then yes its pretty bad, but if the coach combines old school and new school fighting to their sparring and lessons then something can change

Olympic TKD is like taking a water gun to a gun fight .

[ToiletDuckFan]

Whistle: "World’s TOUGHEST Taekwondo Fighter!?". Sure, Olympic TKD; I'm interested in the guys outside the Olympics, e.g., Ignacio Capllonch, Cyrus Washington, etc, . Maybe this guy too if he transitioned to another ruleset.
