🥋Taekwondo: ITF TaekwonDo vs Thai Muay

Muay Thai is a combat sport of Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques.This physical and mental discipline which includes combat on shins is known as "the art of eight limbs" because it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees, shins, being associated with a good physical preparation that makes a full-contact fighter very efficient
We organized the first ITF World Championship in Korea in 2004, and subsequently two more in 2008 & 2010 that were held in conjunction with Taekwondo Festivals.
Taekwondo was developed during the 1940s and 1950s by various martial artists by incorporating elements of Karate and Chinese Martial Arts with indigenous Korean martial arts traditions such as Taekkyeon, Subak, and Gwonbeop.The oldest governing body for taekwondo today are the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF), founded by Choi Hong Hi in 1966.
Every year since 2011 we have been bringing Taekwondoists from all of the World to follow in the footsteps of the significant figures and events that are associated with the patterns that are such a core part of Taekwon-Do through our Tul Tour Taekwon-Do & Cultural Training programs.
Consequently, our membership has grown rapidly with many groups and individuals from all styles of Taekwon-Do joining our Federation. We are now establishing our offices in the new Administrative Government Center of Korea, Sejong City.
This exciting development allows us to reinvigorate our training programs and offer Seminars and International Instructor Courses in Korea and around the World. More than 10 Tul Tour Programs have been already organized for 2017 and 2018.
We will hold our first Open World Championships in the wonderful European country of the Netherlands in September 2017. Already many groups that have not been able to participate together in the past have confirmed their attendance.
ITF HQ-Korea is dedicated to bringing together all practitioners who follow the teachings of General Choi Hong Hi under the motto “One spirit – One Force – One ITF” in its homeland.

If all ITF tkd fighters practice their punching a lot they'll be so good

[ghostofkurt]

The TKD kid timed his kicks so good. Other dude ate so many front side kicks. Looked like easy work for him.

[asp]

Awesome fight! I really enjoyed watching this :D

[willianproject]

se esse rapaz taekwondista no vídeo for de fato faixa azul, ele vai ser um grande lutador quando chegar a preta, luta muito bem

[eidan]

More interesting than some UFC fights, to see a taekwondo or karate guy doing well vs a muay thai guy is so cool, he connected some ko kicks

[MichaelWilliams-movv]

I was wondering why a 'blue belt' taekwon-do practitioner was wearing a black belt uniform. Then l realised the competitors wear a blue and red belt respectively.

[samuraisaxon]

If the ITF kid used his lead side kicks to set up his rear round kick to the head followed by his spinning back kick he would own this thai fighter.

[miguelangellopez]

Que mala la actitud del otro no quiso abrazar al taekwondista después de la pelea, el respeto ante todo ganes o pierdas.

[Lexthebarbarian]

The TKD kid is good! He just need some more punching and low kick training then he is legit for real!

[genshin]

Tkd guy has decent hands. That's rare.

[BlessedchildofSriShiva]

Muay
Also the match was nice good job both of you!

[tommynguyen]

Taekwondo needs more boxing and Muay Thai the kicks are great

[garciajuanignacio]

why he has the black belt dobok with blue belt?

[SergInfoUA]

Pretty cool performance by itf taekwondo guy 🎉, nice.

[gustavehofseth]

Ok good fight but that axe kick at 220 could have been devastating

[landoftheascendingdragon]

Both sides fought greatly, landing decent kicks and punches on each other. I'd say its a draw.

[elixsmaxlyrics]

Encima el de Muay Thai tenía prohibido usar las rodillas y los codos porque sino tenía mucha ventaja, tampoco hacer Clinch porque burlaba el arma principal de los de Tae Kwon Do, sus piernas

[PenTorNa]

นักมวยไทยยังมือใหม่มาก
คู่ต่อสู้อยู่ในระยะเตะ มันก็ไม่ควรจะเข้าไปต่อย
ทีบขาหน้าก็ไม่มี
ที่จะใช้ท่าเถรกวาดลาน แต่ก็ไม่ใช้ แสดงว่ามือใหม่เกินไป

[thatonetrashcan]

That is 100% not a Muay Thai fighter, at least not strictly one. Good fight either way

[donovanzeledon]

Me dio algo de rabia ver que el de taekwondo itf no uso una rama de patadas mas amplia teniendo el gancho, 360 entre otras patadas que si se huviera animado a dar el ribal ya hubiera estado dormido desde ase horas tanto potencial y no lo utilizo 😢
