the blues cut kick is SO GOOD when he faked the cut kick and went for the head it was amazing. But you have to give credit to the red that he took all those shots without getting knocked out the red's defense is also very good, congrats to both fighters they will both go far in the sport.

Filipino coach sounded really stressed while Korean coach was just really chill

Martial arts have their origin in self defense … unfortunately this got lost in tae kwon do completely… it’s dangerous to tell tae kwon do students that they will be able to defend themselves…

I wonder how they train their legs to get that flexible

at 1:38 the south korean guy grabbed the filipinos leg that should end up as a penalty

What an outstanding kick 👏 it goes with the flow without shuttering

Just bunch of side kicks, with little axe kick here and there, a little round house here and there, Old school taekwondo is way better.

here we go again goobers.. they say modern tkd doesnt work on self defence but the fun fact is that *it actually works* b4 being promoted to next belt, students will practice self defence forms along with the poomsae. takedowns, jabs, elbows, and kicks for self defence purposes and not for what you see the *kick for points*if i were u on a street fight i would rather run and save my ass than waste my energy fighting thugs that have fucking gun and knives coming for u to meet jesus and feeling like god i have a plot armour to save myself and its okay to stereotype a martial arts
