Shotokan Karate vs ITF Taekwondo

Shotokan Karate vs ITF Taekwondo sparring at Treger Martial Arts Tournament

[kidk]

Respect to both fighters. Each respecting their styles with high confidence. Good job!

[mweledi_sheiyq]

I trained Taekwondo and Shotokan karate. I've won trophies in individual championships( open and weight categories ) and team champions. Both are beautiful sports,

[panda]

I have studied both styles and they are both effective methods. It takes longer to gain rank in karate.

From what I could see, I think it is "American" Taekwondo, a federation that combines WTF and ITF, I say it because on the back it does not have the logo of the fundamental tree of Taekwon-Do ITF, the front logo also looks more like a triangle (American Taekwon-Do logo) different from the ITF logo.

Respect to both fighters! In this match, I do believe that the Shoto-kan practitioner is better than the Tae Kwon do practitioner. But that said, I would not stand a chance against either! haha

[lautarobrizuela]

i dont know about TKD, but i do Shotokan, and this guy is so good

[jakkicousins]

1:30 Damn I can't explain how shook I am that was the best move I've ever seen from a Karate fighter 😮🤯😆

[stevendemoniac]

Not bad, open karate rules is my favorite.
I am BB in both TKD and Karate.
Both are great if you can implement them when it counts.

[noone]

Ooh good thing the karate person didnt forgot the bow
Before leaving the mat

[zrig]

When did it become normal in TKD to keep your hands down like that? It has been a number of years since I competed, but we never dropped our guard like that. I have been watching a few videos of late as I am now getting back into training and noticed this trend. That and the bouncing around..

[FrodeFender]

Ooooo that uro-mawashigeri at 1:19 almost hit that taekwondo guy straight in the face!! That would have been game over!! Great fright! 👊🏼🥋🤙🏼

He's not ITF his Dobok is wrong. The screen printing on the back of his jacket is NOT ITF, nor is that an ITF Logo on the Front, and his Mannerisms' and ring protocols are just Not ITF. Not bowing, sleeves rolled up. He's definitely Not ITF.

[MrMattias]

Good fight but I the TKD guy relied too much on his high kicks.

[lblalock]

Both great styles. It's not the style that wins, it's the artist.

[jadenkim]

the back part of the itf uniform is missing, and all of the itf practitioner use the same dobok or gi as u guys know it.
i may sound salty to all of u but just search itf uniform and compare it to his they sorta look similar but they arent

[asuka]

The TKD guy wants to just do a sucker punch because he was swept down 😂

[Kamingo]

This is literally one of the best point fighting videos ive ever seen, good job!

[ViralHitHobinYoo]

As you can see from the helmet the tkd guy is using, he is either a young person, has not sparred a lot, or is a new black belt. The helmet with the plastic protector at the front is mostly used by people under 15, and most over that start using mouthpieces and headgear with no face shield. Still tho, respect for both of them, no matter who won or lost🔥🔥🔥

[calvinrhea]

I would not say either system is better than another but the Shodokan fighter fought a lot smarter . His kicks had a lot more to it and his punches were define where the TKD was punching Wild and just placing lazy kicks I TF/ Am/ WTF isn’t at fault his own training is.

[EmmanuelReyes]

The guy in ITF Uniform is NOT ITF. We identify our Doboks with ITF logo everywhere, he doesn't wear the ITF Patch, the ITF Pants and the ITF Tree on the back.
