That's the best way to spar your awesome grand Master you move very quickly and to the point congrats on your 9th degree Richard los Angeles California
I really like that he did sparring on his test, a lot of older Masters shy away from it. I also like his love of foot sweeps in sparring (a man after my own heart). Nice self defense demo and breaking too!
ITF (Traditional) Taekwondo! Love it. Same style I do, same forms. And I'm 65 :) We spar with hands AND feet. No arms dangling at our sides like WTF. :)
Master Whitlow and I got our first degrees together under Master Hardin in 1976. This was old school TKD. He has always been a natural. I switched out of TKD into Chinese internal arts but have always been on the path. Master McNeely invited me to this testing which I would not have missed. He is my lifelong brother along with Master McNeely, and along with my first teacher, Master Hardin, I will always admire their skill, devotion to the arts, and dedication to promoting it to others. They're just all around great people, and a lot of fun! Thanks for posting this!
Of course. And thank you for sharing. I'm sure we probably met there. I got him ready for the test and the weapons portion was mine. I was the big boy he was beating with bat's. Lol. And yes. I have always admired them greatly. Started with Hardin in 89 and got with GMW in 95. Bend with him every since. He is definitely my brother and definitely still a inspiration to me to this day.
Loved your videos man you were really ahead of your time with some of the kicks off the break stuff been watching for some time! Keep posting my friend! Get Running ;)
I make it a point to watch belt tests on you tube, it is an entertainment I afford myself. I have to say, you are a very energetic, skilled and fit martial artist for someone gaining their 9th dan. Usually, I watch either mcdojo 9th dans or older people gaining their rank by just showing up and trying to move about without breaking a hip.
This guys legit I can tell the sparring showed he ain't afraid to fight and has some great old school techniques damn I want to learn those sweeps. The self defense takedown and locks remind me of small circle jujitsu also he showed great endurance and ability for his age well done indeed.
@@GuroBillyBrown enjoyed it I did its wonderful to see there are such charismatic and inspiring instructors out there. All the best to you and your training :)
Someone on here was commenting Grandmaster Brad Whitlow about his ability to really defend himself from a real attack. I will say this how many martial artist have ever really had to use their skills in a real life situation?And 2 being a black belt doesn't mean you are invincible.But the person also commented on UFC if I remember rightly being more realistic than the likes of Taekwondo.The person may have a point in terms of the practicality of the use of UFC when it comes to a self defence situation. But at the end of UFC is still in a ring and even though it seems effective when it comes to it's moves compared to the flashiness of Taekwondo.UFC is still in a controlled environment and nobody is attempting to kill you with a knife.
Exactly.. And BW had been a sheriff dept and Body. guard... People that make idiot comments about people they have zero clue about are absolutely nothing more than keyboard strikers.. No accomplishments of their own. Zero experience.. And never will
@Sifu / Guro / Master Billy Brown Sifu, you are saying all the right things anyone can criticise Taekwondo in terms of practicality in a life or death situation.But I will go even further compared to what I said before regarding UFC.Any martial art looks good in a controlled environment,but I'll even go further than that.Even a martial art like Ju Jitsu that would be more effective than Taekwondo when it comes to self defence when it comes to being on the floor. How effective would Ju Jitsu be if you had 3 or 4 men piling on top of you?One man, meaning to damage you,the situation would favour the martial artist. So, like you said, Sifu, unless a person has been in a life or death situation,then that person is just being ignorant.
Sifu,Brad Whitlow deserves massive respect. Like I mentioned earlier, there's videos of other Black belt testing on TH-cam. Black belts from Junior Black Belt to Senior ones kicking technique had a lot to be desired.Like I said, the Junior Black Belt girl couldn't even execute properly a back kick to break broads. That's why when she tried to do a jumping back kick, she could hardly come off the floor or even do the technique. But yet I could do a jumping back kick breaking boards blind folded. But yet I am and was only a Blue Belt who could execute Black belt techniques. Brad Whitlow puts these First Degree Black belts to shame. Only one kicking technique did he fail to break the boards at the first attempt.How is it possible that my technique is better than some of those Black belts?And I was only a blue belt. But then that was all down to our instructor, Mr Ngo. He taught us proper technique. Like Bruce Lee once said a belt is only for holding up your trousers.
@@miltonbrown7479 Yeah. That was the holders fault. I have seen thag man break so much real wood and faces over the last 30 years. And he was doing it years before I hooked up with him... And he is 65 today and still runs circles around many half his age. He is a real inspiration
I practised Taekwondo in the 90s, and I got to my Blue Belt in ITF Taekwondo,and to me, looking back now, I really earned it.Belts are award in general how well that you perform your patterns,but because the examiner wasn't happy with my sign wave while doing the pattern I failed a few times.The things is when it came to kicking I was doing Black Belt techniques like Jumping Back Kick and breaking boards blind folded..In our class the majority of us where colour belts,ranging from White to Red belt black Tag,but our technique was great. That is solely down to our instructors teaching..On other TH-cam videos, I have been watching Junior Black Belts and Black Belt. First, Degrees have countless attempts to break boards. And I don't mean attempting to break boards with a jumping back kick,I mean with basic side kick or reverse turning kick. There's a Junior Black Belt whose kicking technique was just terrible,she couldn't even bring her leg up properly to execute a jumping back kick or reverse turning kick. It took her countless attempts before she even broke a board.If it wasn't for the fact you saw with her Junior Black Belt on you'd have thought that she was a Yellow belt.But not just her many of the black belts were finding it hard to break boards. Just goes to show people get promotion through there patterns,or if they were fortunate to have an examiner who didn't care how your patterns looked like. Big respect goes to Grandmaster Brad Whitlow for actually taking his 9th Degree black belt exam,and at the same time showing how I as a former Taekwondo practitioner expect from a black belt. And it shouldn't matter what Degree of black belt you are. If you take umpteen attempts to break boards with a basic side or you can't even jump properly to attempt to break a board with a jumping back kick. Then that is embarrassing for the art of Taekwondo. But more to the point what does that say about those students instructor?
@Sifu / Guro / Master Billy Brown Sifu I will be 61 years old this August, and for my age, I look if I may say so myself. I have arithis in my right knee. But after more than over 30 years, I am looking to do martial arts that are more effective when it comes to self-defense.Would you say that I should look to do something like Wing Chun or Ju Jitsu?I did Wing Chun back in the day but that was only for a few months and before I did Taekwondo. Sifu, did you ever practice Taekwondo yourself?And what are your thoughts about it?
I trained under Master Whitlow in Murfreesboro, TN during the early to mid 1980's. I watched him test for 3rd degree black belt. I will never forget watching him execute a hook kick in very slow motion. Master Robert Hardin a judge. The reason I mention the hook kick in slow motion is simply this. But let me point out first and foremost Master Whitlow is a teacher at heart. I told Master Whitlow I can hardly wait til I can do the splits. His reply and I will never forget, "what good are the splits if you don't have the strength to pick up your leg?" People like Brad Whitlow, Robert Hardin, et al truly understood the dynamics and techinque of the remarkable power that can be developed in kicking technique with proper form and training. Odd that such depth of understanding of a martial art like Taekwondo comes from Arkansas!
Respect, katas included many facets, honed, timing, use of double blocks, , too for added strength, his kicking precise,, no wavering , good technician, , i like his endeavor, and his dedication to his art, ,, from england, , great accomplishments, sir,
I trained under Master Whitlow in the early 80's. He has a long distinguished career dedicated to TKD.. Lessons I learned from Master Whitlow so many decades ago have carried with me throughout my life. Thank you sir.,
@@ishlazz1307 OH yes. But he cross trains in everything now also. He is very much certified by me to teach my curriculums in KALI, Silat, Dirty Boxing and more. He's my mentor. Been with him for almost 30 years. Check out www.JukAhm.com.
I enjoyed his knife defence, in particular, cutting leaders, ligaments, tendons, , disarmed assailants using many skills, from so many , schools of training, excellence,. This man, teacher, is real deal, . Our young, could learn from his dedication , to protect others, their friends, families, themselves, especially in this day and age, , what a man, . Immense respect. Loved, his take downs and his control, using control techniques,. Deserved his 9 th degree , grand master title, .. I bow before you sir,. Honour,.,
Very true. The weapons material is all stuff he had learned from me over the years... He is my mentor and a great leader for sure and I'm happy I have been able to give back to him. We prepared for this test for 6 months. He trained like a man in his 30s. Every day.
On this historic day, Master Brad Whitlow at nearly the age of 60, and in a time where most at that level don't even perform or worse, self promote, he put on a intense and awe inspiring performance as he tested for the rare and prestigious title of Grand Master! Not only did he showcase his expertise and almost 45 years of training in the art of Taekwon-Do, but he also performed many arts that he has cross trained in over the years! CONGRATULATIONS GM Brad Whitlow! Much deserved! Visit GM Whitlow on his TH-cam page at youtube.com/@JukAhm
Nope. 55 years teaching and traveling the globe kicking the sht out of people.. And still teaching and training daily at 65 years old. No more Dan belts.. But he still kicks the sht out of people especially no name nobody keyboard warriors with zero accomplishments and nothing but uneducated opinions and sweaty keyboards.... Oh. Sht heads like You. Lol idiot.
Yup.. With a punch too.. With a stance.. With a forward movement.. Playing with balls. With a comment like that though on a video like this what has nothing to do with actuall combat what you have obviously never seen since grade School in would say that your balls are all you get to play with.. Thanks for watching.
Lol... imagine those kata forms how they should work on a real streetfight. Totally useless nonsense! This was the reason i stopped train karate bullshido. 😂😂😂
Yup.. Totally. And this man has been apart of more real violence than you have seen on your computer... Heavy bag? Have you, Master no body, ever been attacked by a heavy bag? Sht about jump rope or push ups. In your vast real street violence experience, used thsoe much? Here is a real question.. Have you used your keyboard ever in a time is life situation?? Nope. Stfu kid. Stay on your hole. If a pioneer of a certain art wanted to "complete" that cycle so to speak that he started 50 years ago hurts your uneducated sensitivity, that's OK. Go to Starbucks... But don't look as stupid as we all know you really are by thinking a demo from a 65 year old gives you any idea of who he is or the violence he has been through.. You haven't seen any real violence since grade school chump. Save your uneducated opinions and sweaty keyboard talk for the 14 year old karate kids online... Lol
One more thing Master No Body.. Where are all of your videos showing us all how to do it? Do you just have idiot comments? Show us why you have a right even commenting on a video on a man who was training and beating people long before, sadly, that one sperm made it through? Where is your clout? He has. Any videos on line, many combative video with Le and Mil and I have literally hundreds. Those are just the free ones. Where are your balls? Back it chump? Or is that keyboard with a ton of fun opinions all you have. Sht I'll go video for video.
Hey idiot... A 65 year old man with 2 bad knees and a blown shoulder wouldn't last in the UFC? Yeah. You wouldn't last in my teen ager class against my 14 yr Olds.. Does the UFC mean you can fight?? I have seen more violence than anyone I personally know and have been forced to do things to humans that you don't see in your little sporting arena. They are writing fukin books about it.. When I see post like this I know immediately that A, you are a no name chump who hasn't seen any real violence since grade school.. B, you don't even train. Where are your vids? Show us all Master no name how it's done.... You are a idiot. This wasn't fighting. This was a man who has trained long before you became that one sperm that some how made it.. Sadly the one that made it. That man has real world experience from being a sheriff dept to body guard unlike you and your little sport chumps you cheer for on ppv. He has traveled the world Kickin the sht out of people in multiple countries... He has done more for martial art and will be remembered long after he's gone. You.. The world has already forgotten you.. Thanks for the clever comment.. Master No Body.. Only fools make uneducated comments on videos about someone they know absolutely nothing about... Stay in your hole boy.
Oh.. And one more thing chump... This was a demonstration. A performance from a man who didn't need to do it. Most people his age grading for that rank are just presented the rank. He chose to get out there and perform for nearly a Hour straight... When was the last time. You did anything for a hour straight other than Sweat all over your sticky keyboard? Post some videos... I'm known around the globe. I'll make you famous. Post some. Send me links... Lol. That will never happen will it? Go iron your America Fighter tee shirt and STFU.. Master no body...
Waiting on that video link Master No Body... I'll share it to the world. Show us all how to do it... Show us why a 65 year old man with multiple injuries wouldn't make it in the UFC and how you would! I have 10k subscribers here and another 12 k on my Facebook and 6 k followers on insta.. I will get you noticed... Where are the links? Where are the videos. I have been training for almost 40 years and I love learning for Masters like you! We are all waiting Master No Body!
Master whitlow He's good but he"s slow 🐌 Speed is power His style is great but the speed is not there Put somebody up there like Michael Jai white 🤔 He will give you a real demonstration Why he did not demonstrate with somebody with Nuchucks
Thanks dumb ass... Very wise observation. A 60 + year old grandfather who has been training since the 60s with 2 bad knees and a blown shoulder who had ro perform for 1 straight hour straight is slow.... Lmao. You don't think he did that on purpose??? Then you compare him to a actor who has never saw any real violence in his life whom only fought in karate point matches. Wow.. You are so intelligent.... Great Job...This wasn't a demo dummy... This was a old man who has done more for a art than you ever will finishing the cycle. Actually performing when everyone else his age and time. Put in is just awarded the title.. In reality.. He would just thumb your eyes and bite your ear off... But stick to your movie stars and keep playing martial arts... Cute.
By the way. MjW is a chump that couldn't really fight his way out of a pillow fight but I'm glad that you think somehow a actor compares to a man who has traveled the world multiple times for the US team kicking ass plus has real life experience as a bouncer and body guard which your fav actor does not, to a actor who won some karate point matches... Dude. Use your mind be for making idiot comments.
Lol.. Considered by many to be one of the best kickers of his time. A 65 year old man with 2 bad knees needs to work on his kicks... Stfu. Where are your kicks. Where are your videos? This man was kicking the sht out of people around the globe before you learned how to stroke your keyboard.... Lol

Stfu kid. Stay on your hole. If a pioneer of a certain art wanted to "complete" that cycle so to speak that he started 50 years ago hurts your uneducated sensitivity, that's OK. Go to Starbucks... But don't look as stupid as we all know you really are by thinking a demo from a 65 year old gives you any idea of who he is or the violence he has been through.. You haven't seen any real violence since grade school chump. Save your uneducated opinions and sweaty keyboard talk for the 14 year old karate kids online... Lol
One more thing Master No Body.. Where are all of your videos showing us all how to do it? Do you just have idiot comments? Show us why you have a right even commenting on a video on a man who was training and beating people long before, sadly, that one sperm made it through? Where is your clout? He has. Any videos on line, many combative video with Le and Mil and I have literally hundreds. Those are just the free ones. Where are your balls? Back it chump? Or is that keyboard with a ton of fun opinions all you have. Sht I'll go video for video.
This guy wouldn’t last 30 seconds in the UFC. What a joke, a mediocre street fighter would hurt him bad.
Hey idiot... A 65 year old man with 2 bad knees and a blown shoulder wouldn't last in the UFC? Yeah. You wouldn't last in my teen ager class against my 14 yr Olds.. Does the UFC mean you can fight?? I have seen more violence than anyone I personally know and have been forced to do things to humans that you don't see in your little sporting arena. They are writing fukin books about it.. When I see post like this I know immediately that A, you are a no name chump who hasn't seen any real violence since grade school.. B, you don't even train. Where are your vids? Show us all Master no name how it's done.... You are a idiot. This wasn't fighting. This was a man who has trained long before you became that one sperm that some how made it.. Sadly the one that made it. That man has real world experience from being a sheriff dept to body guard unlike you and your little sport chumps you cheer for on ppv. He has traveled the world Kickin the sht out of people in multiple countries... He has done more for martial art and will be remembered long after he's gone. You.. The world has already forgotten you.. Thanks for the clever comment.. Master No Body.. Only fools make uneducated comments on videos about someone they know absolutely nothing about... Stay in your hole boy.
Oh.. And one more thing chump... This was a demonstration. A performance from a man who didn't need to do it. Most people his age grading for that rank are just presented the rank. He chose to get out there and perform for nearly a Hour straight... When was the last time. You did anything for a hour straight other than Sweat all over your sticky keyboard? Post some videos... I'm known around the globe. I'll make you famous. Post some. Send me links... Lol. That will never happen will it? Go iron your America Fighter tee shirt and STFU.. Master no body...
Waiting on that video link Master No Body... I'll share it to the world. Show us all how to do it... Show us why a 65 year old man with multiple injuries wouldn't make it in the UFC and how you would! I have 10k subscribers here and another 12 k on my Facebook and 6 k followers on insta.. I will get you noticed... Where are the links? Where are the videos. I have been training for almost 40 years and I love learning for Masters like you! We are all waiting Master No Body!
Master whitlow He's good but he"s slow 🐌 Speed is power His style is great but the speed is not there Put somebody up there like Michael Jai white 🤔 He will give you a real demonstration Why he did not demonstrate with somebody with Nuchucks
Thanks dumb ass... Very wise observation. A 60 + year old grandfather who has been training since the 60s with 2 bad knees and a blown shoulder who had ro perform for 1 straight hour straight is slow.... Lmao. You don't think he did that on purpose??? Then you compare him to a actor who has never saw any real violence in his life whom only fought in karate point matches. Wow.. You are so intelligent.... Great Job...This wasn't a demo dummy... This was a old man who has done more for a art than you ever will finishing the cycle. Actually performing when everyone else his age and time. Put in is just awarded the title.. In reality.. He would just thumb your eyes and bite your ear off... But stick to your movie stars and keep playing martial arts... Cute.
By the way. MjW is a chump that couldn't really fight his way out of a pillow fight but I'm glad that you think somehow a actor compares to a man who has traveled the world multiple times for the US team kicking ass plus has real life experience as a bouncer and body guard which your fav actor does not, to a actor who won some karate point matches... Dude. Use your mind be for making idiot comments.
Lol! You keyboard no bodies with nothing but uneducated opinions crack me up! 😁
He needs to work on his kicks. Too stiff.
Lol.. Considered by many to be one of the best kickers of his time. A 65 year old man with 2 bad knees needs to work on his kicks... Stfu. Where are your kicks. Where are your videos? This man was kicking the sht out of people around the globe before you learned how to stroke your keyboard.... Lol
Someone on here was commenting Grandmaster Brad Whitlow about his ability to really defend himself from a real attack. I will say this how many martial artist have ever really had to use their skills in a real life situation?And 2 being a black belt doesn't mean you are invincible.But the person also commented on UFC if I remember rightly being more realistic than the likes of Taekwondo.The person may have a point in terms of the practicality of the use of UFC when it comes to a self defence situation. But at the end of UFC is still in a ring and even though it seems effective when it comes to it's moves compared to the flashiness of Taekwondo.UFC is still in a controlled environment and nobody is attempting to kill you with a knife.
