search 'the power kicks in taekwondo' by the uploader jjssm. ok i would have chosen other kicks for karate and capoera, but the taekwondo kick was must powerful.
And yet some MMA practitioners will say that TaeKwonDo is useless. That legit kick will KO any unsuspecting fighter. MMA fighters should respect other disciplines. After all, MMA will be nothing without its base origins.
It is well known that some of the most powerful kickers in the world had a TaeKwonDo background. The issue with TKD (more so as it is today) is that it has been deformed and you could even say bastardized to make it a safer sport for olimpics (and also for people of all ages), where you are taught to fight in a sanitized tournament setting and score points, rather than actually defend yourself in a real fight; Most schools don't even train practical takedowns anymore. Besides, TDK's scope is very limited, focusing enormously on kicks, and mainly teaching straight punches, as well as no ground combat whatsoever. That being said, it is not useless per se, as practicing any martial art is better than practicing none, as it still teaches you some techniques that can be applied in an actual fight, and more importantly, you still get better reflexes, speed and strength.
@MissAmerica1984 well done man!! that's excellent. There are plenty of people like that in the studio i train at. never too late to start...keep up the good work
what an awesome kick , what i find so hard is getting the actual forward movement while doing this kick because i can hit head height when stationary but if i move forwards whilst doing this kick it tends to drop to mid section . This guy's got it down it's so smooth and controlled and if you look he gains a huge ammount of distance while in the air .
I finished with just a 1st degree black belt in Taekwondo and I fought in tournmanets like these. I got my ass handed to me so many times lol but you also win some. A guy came at me with a roundhouse kick to the head that I wasn't expecting and I was knocked out for like a good 10 seconds. Before I knew what happened, I was being helped up. I have total respect for these guys.
Good counter for it to use it when someone's going to do a fast kick, or a front leg roundhouse/runner. Or to gain distance against a defensive hesitant fighter. A counter to it, is just to sidekick in middle of the spin, or just clinch in.
It's really, really not. It's flashy, and it'll hurt you if you don't defend. If you mess it up though, you can hurt yourself. For instance someone recognizing the move can just kick your support leg and you'll land on your face. ... There are similar "flashy" kicks that are faster, harder to defend, safer to attempt, and much more devastating when they land. The spinning back kick is probably the move. This guy who somehow didn't see the tornado coming would be more than just dizzy if he'd gotten hit by one of those.
This is not a Roundhouse Kick. It's a Tornado Kick/Reverse Round House Kick or Turning Roundhouse kick. It is literally a roundhouse kick performed by turning as if for a back straight kick and executing a roundhouse kick. It is known as a Reverse Roundhouse Kick because the kicker turns in the opposite, or "reverse", direction before the kick is executed. This kick strikes with the ball of the foot for power or the top of the foot for range. The kick was exhibited by Bruce Lee on numerous occasions in his films Enter the Dragon, Fist of Fury and The Big Boss.
iamhoya3 bruce lee is real he has superhuman powers that he can knock someone down less than an inch you know go search him up if he's real see if im wrong
It's referred to as a 'jump offensive spin kick', in that you are jumping (which makes it completely worthless in any realistic scenario, the person hit should've been able to trivially counter that), it is a maneuver coming off of the back foot instead of the front foot, and it is coming around from the side, using the flat front part of the foot as the striking surface. This kick is mostly for showing off. He was observing his opponent, and his opponent's general lack of response to his movements, and decided that since he so outclassed his opponent, he was going to showboat. Unfortunately, this nets you points in an olympic-style tournament, which is why I never really had much respect for that particular rules set. The counter to this maneuver is quite simple. Block, and let the kicker fall ingloriously on his arse. The true weakness of any 'jump' or 'flying' kick is that since you have no connection to the ground, you have no means to ground your stance, meaning that all the power in the world is worthless since your only means of applying that force is from simple momentum, which is easily redirected.
@anykain Tae Kwon Do tournaments generally usually discourage punching. It's mainly used to create distance (e.g. after a clinch) to follow up with another kick.
I’ll never understand the combat sport aspect of taekwondo, do “fighters” just become dummies and let the opponent kick them In the face, has it never occurred to people to Maybe block with their arms and hands their chin since you’re allowed kicks to the face???
The reason why you see so many Taekwondo fighters get head kicked is because... well.... they're fighting, they're under stress That red guy was probably thinking "blue guy is going to enter with a lead leg kick, I'll counter with my own lead leg kick." Which is probably why you saw him flick his leg Also, tornado kicks in Taekwondo are usually to the body, he was probably expecting the kick to go to the body. Edit: also, how are you supposed to block a head kick by putting your hands on your chin? If you were boxing that might work, but in Taekwondo you have to keep your hands low to block body kicks, because those are more common
@@ticbox4326 sorry but your explanation makes no sense. I’m not wondering why they’re throwing head kicks...I’m wondering why don’t they realize they’re allowed to throw head kicks and have their hands and arms positioned in the appropriate manner so they can avoid getting knocked out...maybe take lessons from MMA and something like this can be easily avoided which is a very obvious and common problem. I mean why don’t you just throw head kicks one hundred percent of the time, seems to me knocking out your opponent is the obvious path to victory.
@@commonsense3017 jesus christ... I'll answer your first question 1.- "why don't they keep their hands up to protect themselves from head kicks?" Well, first of all, head kicks are rare in Taekwondo, to land a kick, you first have to make sure your opponent doesn't move when you move forward, if he moves in for a clinch or he moves backwards when you threaten to kick, you can't really head kick anymore, and you instead have to focus on either clinching or on chasing with your kicks Also, normal head kicks can only be thrown once every couple of minutes due to, well, the difficulty, and they're only worth 3 points Compare the 3 points of 1 round-kick the head to the 8 points you could get from a triple round-kick to the body, and you can see why Taekwondo fighters prefer doing round kicks to the body. My point is that body kicks are just easier to do and to chain together, and the points you get from chained body kicks is higher than a normal head kick Lastly, you can't set up head kicks with punches, so if you try to head kick, that other guy is probably gonna see you doing that 2.- "Why not throw head kicks 100% of the time.'' Because why would you? Winning by knockout in Taekwondo is really rare, and winning by point difference is much easier. TL:DR Think about it like how boxers shape their guards Why do boxers put their hands on their head if they can be punched in the body? Because punches to the head are more rewarding in boxing due to of the concussive damage the opponent receives Let's take this logic into Taekwondo, why do Taekwondo practitioners put their hands on their chest protectors? Because multiple kicks to the chest protector are more rewarding than head kicks due to the fact that they give more points.
@@ticbox4326 ok I see what you mean now. But that’s why points system fighting where you reset after every point is so impractical. Because you’re discouraged to protect the most obvious part of your body you should be protecting. You can obviously protect your body and head with elbows, arms, and hands. If kickboxing, Muai Thai, and mma can do it so can Tae Kwon Do. I’m not sayin Tae Kwon Do is not effective. I think it’s one of the most legit fighting styles out there, but the scoring system is giving practitioners bad unpractical habits.
1: Because of the scoring system; it is easier to hit you down, so if you don't protect down then you will let your opponent win easily. 2. If you just protect up, a good kick to your stomach could knock you down. Tkd fighters are really fast, in video you can't see that, but if you go down and fight you will see that even though if you stay with and upper guard, you will receive kicks to your head without noticing it, because tkd kicks could hit you in any direccion, there are many kicks, so you can not predict where the kick will come from, unless your oponent is slow. It is easier to let your arms down to avoid your arms block your vision, and it is easier just to dodge, than to try to block a fast, powerful kick, which can change the direction in the middle of the movement.
Let me settle this... In a REAL roundhouse kick, you never make a full turn, it's only a half turn from the hips to bring the leg round from the side. From a left forward fighting stance (Left foot forward, left arm up, right to the side) the right leg would be brought counter clockwise into a target. This kick is a Tornado Kick from the stance I mentioned.
damn! that was an awesome Nada Bon! i've been kicked like that and trust me it hurts and everything starts to go black you struggle to stay conscious, hard to continue a fight after that
Usually a spinning technique is easy to predict, but only if you're waiting for it. My first tournament i went to as a black belt in karate, this guy nailed me in the stomach with a spinning side kick. It's not that I didn't know what he was doing, but all that went through my head was "wtf he do*kicked*."
i am practicing teakwondo kungfu and kickbox a real martial artists such as urself :) and i respect you for not having a huge ego and just having the intentions to LEARN more about martial arts, after all it is an art..but what i tryd to say before, is dat these days you see ppl learning muay thai/kickboxing for evil intentions, like wanting to hurt ppl on the streets/school to boost their ego,ppl like that get cocky in the ring and mostly lose.but i can tell ur a patient coordinated fighter :)
ther is to be a reasonable level of respect given to every opponent throughout the duration of a fight..but lets not forget we're here to FIGHT!! I do muay thai and respect all other arts and artists and watch everyone with the intent of learning something new..i have no ego..just desire to become a better martial artist than i was the day before..i have done; kickboxing,taekwondo,kung fu and now doing muay thai (4years)..its up to you to take the best from each and put them into your fight game
Nice kick :) Don't know the video's THAT popular, it's not a difficult kick, though it can be hard to get it up to someone's face and keep the velocity.
I competed in a UMA competition earlier today. I was observing the Karate and Taekwondo (I do Muay thai) and i noticed how they never seemed to guard their face, like ever. My instructor was sparring with a blackbelt in taekwondo and all he had to do was get in close and demolish him with elbow strikes with a follow up kick or hook and the fight was over.
Your right for the most part i agree. It is not useful on the streets, although in MMA it is a very useful aspect. teaches you how to evade and move. also how to move in and out quickly. along with the kicks and flexablitly.
also good timing by the photographer ;) exactly that kind of kick I always wanted to use in real life, if i had to :D love how in the end the blue one walks by like "now you're fucked up, hu?.."
@mrkiky I've done Taekwando for like 7, 8 years and I tend to keep my hands at my side for full momentum during a kick. While keeping your hands up IS THE PROPER WAY to fight. Some people are just much more comfortable fighting that way.
I miss my old days ಠ,_｣ಠ when was 8 year old i started to train when i was 6 and still remember those fun days then i left at 11 At that time i got my black belt
@crjaded its not practical to use as your main offensive but it can be used if its mixed in with some feints theres a probability it will conect on top of that say your fighting someone and they see you do something like that even if it misses a untrained fighter might hesitate because they see that you know what you are doing of course i always like to stick with basic attacks as advanced i go with my kicks is a spinning hook kick because they arent very practical

@crjaded its not practical to use as your main offensive but it can be used if its mixed in with some feints theres a probability it will conect on top of that say your fighting someone and they see you do something like that even if it misses a untrained fighter might hesitate because they see that you know what you are doing of course i always like to stick with basic attacks as advanced i go with my kicks is a spinning hook kick because they arent very practical
love it
