Excellent, I am impressed by all the fighters. I was stationed in Korea from 1994-1996 and earned the rank of Red Belt. I studied in Ujongbu and Camp Stanely with several 6th, 7th and 8th Degree (Dan) Black Belts, including one Mr. Nim (if I recall), who took the Korean Team to the world championships. In this video I am quite impressed by the black belt fighting throughout the testing process. Even after being quite tired, he bested opponents, especially when going to the mat (ground).
@SchizophrenicKishan I believe it is, for safety reasons during sparring, tho' you are allowed to "mark" to the head. I train this style twice a week and I think those are the rules. Tbh i think it's quite stupid, because I think you are allowed to kick to the head which can cause even more serious injuries(?) O.o
You can also argue that boxers cant kick and wrestlers cant punch so it is stupid. The safety rules exists in every style for reasons. Road FC former champion, Lee Yun Jun comes out of this style. Safe training is effective in training people for real fights.
differs from kyokushin because kyokushin is striking art, and this is a hybrid (striking and grappling) art. When they fight, they go full speed, especially in tournaments, but at times they do lighter sparring.
It's like somebody got lazy and took all of the worst parts of Muay Thai Judo, Jiu Jitsu and a Japanese Kenpo. Maybe that's my own bias considering I've taken all of those individually and only those
Quite the opposite of what you described. This style took the most effective techniques of arts like judo, tkd, hapkido, kickboxing, taekkyon, teukkong musul, kyuktoogi (korean kickboxing), etc.
@@alter5057 I'm glad to find out there are progressive dojangs which are open minded to update their system like Yong Moo Do. In some ways, Gongkwon Yusul looks kinda similar to the eclectic forms of hard-style Karate from my sixth video. This is a good example for the future of Korean fighting arts.
@@combatsportsarchive7632 Korea, just like US, has its own modern martial arts. Yong Moo Do is definitely one of them. UFC fighter Kwak Kwan Ho and Dongi Yang comes from this style. Gongkwon Yusul looks similar to Combat Sambo and Daido Juku Karate. Just like Yong Moo Do, it is a hybrid martial art, a form of submission grappling and a combat sport.
Is this like the equivalent of the 100-man-kumite -test in kyokushin? Must say i'm impressed by the perseverance. Very good!

Amazing martial art. Thank you to master Kang for inventing this. 12:10 is especially impressive - excellent reversal.
Great stuff. I Enjoyed this vid very much.
beautiful
Look @ their heels.. its padded
Damn this is the real shit!!!!. Im very interested its like old school jiujitsu but without the bullshit
Most old school jujutsu is legit.
no mats?
Can anyone verify what rank this fellow was testing for?
A BB vs a YB? Why not BB vs BB?

It’s because punches to the face land more frequently if you added punches to the face everybody would go home with black eyes and broken noses

Looks like kyokushin but a tad slower
Nate Biggers yeah it looks like kyokushin budokai

tough
this is probably a retarded question but are strikes to the face illegal in this sparring session?
Yes they are
