skull do you even follow the martial arts at all?
These people are so overrated, look how they fight, it's pathetic. they all fight with their hands down like dumbasses. but thats what you get taught when you pay for TKD lessons. Waste of money. try MT kick boxing, requires alot more effort than TKD.
ioneahi...I should ...( 1 month ago by skullone7)
ioneahi...I should ask you the same question.
TKD isn't overrated at all. This is Olympic sport TKD, not MT, boxing, or the UFC.
But even then, how often have you seen someone in the UFC or WEC or any freeform fighting contest try to elbow a kick? And its not because its illegal but because it would be ridiculous and a waste of time.
Also, its beyond evident that you know very little about Olympic style TKD. You sound like someone who either doesn't have much experience or a hater.
tkd isn't taught ...( 1 month ago by XD4133)
tkd isn't taught seriously anywhere in the usa if your serious about learning it you'll have to go to korea or out of the country. You may think im joking but im not. And this is WTF a style only for the purpose of winning Olympic style point sparring. The real style has many hand techniques and kicking is the base of the style. The korean military is one of the only styles of tkd that use the application of the handtechniques. Thats why you see lots of dumbasses using the wrong style of tkd.
lol their hands are ...( 1 month ago by KoreanPark)
lol their hands are down because this is WTF olympic tae kwon do... In the Army, and most of North Korea along with school in South Korea for people that want to defend themselves there is a style called ITF tae kwon do... search that up and you'll see the version where fight more as a martial art than a sport. They both have advantages but WTF is meant for olympics.. the style ur looking for it ITF
based on how TKD ...( 1 month ago by BJJMTF)
based on how TKD ppl kick they use their feet, basic blocking includes the elbow... I'm just saying, kicking someone and then hitting their elbow will mess up your feet. who says I'm trying to use my elbow, they'll just naturaly kick it.
that's very true... ...( 1 month ago by BJJMTF)
that's very true... they don't always have their hands down, but when they are up... it's fun to play tricks on them =)

i hate people that say taekwondo isnt a real fighting style. it is and anyone who practices taekwondo can really fuck you up. i think they say that because in america taekwondo isnt practiced the right way i do taekwon do and i feel that its to soft i watch videos from korea and speak to my friends who did taekwondo in korea and they get beat if they dont do it right and they fight for hours compared to and hour here. i think that we as americans do practice it the right way.
there's many, many ...( 3 weeks ago by BJJMTF)
there's many, many factors in a fight. But ITF I think is the better TKD to do. However, "americans" who practice it, either the "good ones" are too old, or they can't teach their students to "fight" and I mean, stand up. but hey, that's just where I live, and I know they all suck. many change styles, so I'm gussing they suck at teaching this "fighting style" and it is, but it's just, so, crappy

happens in karate all the time, kick someone in the elbow with your foot and that foot is messed up for a week. if these guys had their guards up even a bit, they wouldnt be able to get away with half the techniques you see here.

yep, in karate we use our shins as well, contrairy to what you guys believe, we actually do, and we use elbows, just not in tournament sparring for safety hasards. anyways, TKD does have fast kicks though.

These guys didn't wow me like I thought they would. Olympic TKD sparring is boring, it's mostly bouncing and waiting. Or the occasional round kick-round kick-hook kick.

Taekwondo is a great sport but sometimes it isn't fair but don't let that stop you if you get knocked down stand up and fight if you don't feel like going on suck it up and go anyway OH AND LADIES if you are looking to slim down get into Taekwondo you will lose weight like crazy...
I'm sure you know ...( 2 days ago by wheeeeeeee93)
I'm sure you know this but keep bouncing no matter what. Don't litteraly bounce off the floor just keep on your toes and bounce without jumping off the floor. Always move and be ready for anything. If you plan on using back kick or hook kick then don't show your opponent you're about to do it. Stay in fighting stance and when they kick then at the right time kick them hard. Unless you do a head kick and you're not a black belt of 14yo or above.
fuck that is an insane knockdown that black guy is tank az

i love tkd!!!
