the blues cut kick is SO GOOD when he faked the cut kick and went for the head it was amazing. But you have to give credit to the red that he took all those shots without getting knocked out the red's defense is also very good, congrats to both fighters they will both go far in the sport.
Martial arts have their origin in self defense … unfortunately this got lost in tae kwon do completely… it’s dangerous to tell tae kwon do students that they will be able to defend themselves…
@@Theawesomeproim a taekwondo black belt(2nd degree test given) i can confirm poomsae doesn't help in fight but in my black belt test we were tested for some defence techniques which aren't used in tkd fight and are purely for defence
@@Fallschirmjager420 yes, but as a student of a real Korean 40 year veteran, I learned it as defense techniques. I do still agree, they wouldn’t help much
From someone who has been training taekwondo I will tell you that it's a lot of stretching, a lot of kicking higher and higher until you can eventually get that high. There are some who use a machine to help force them into a split but imo that's a good way to injure yourself by pushing your body to do something it's not able to do yet. But it's just years and years of practice. That guy in blue for example has been COMPETING since he was 12-14 as he has results on his record in the cadet category which is from age 12-14 he also has 2 season results in the senior category which is 18-32 meaning that he's at least 20 years old with probably anywhere from 8-10 years of practice under his belt. John Kent hasn't been competing from as young of age but has at least 5 years of competition under his belt. It's just a lot of dedication and practice and hard work.
here we go again goobers.. they say modern tkd doesnt work on self defence but the fun fact is that *it actually works* b4 being promoted to next belt, students will practice self defence forms along with the poomsae. takedowns, jabs, elbows, and kicks for self defence purposes and not for what you see the *kick for points*if i were u on a street fight i would rather run and save my ass than waste my energy fighting thugs that have fucking gun and knives coming for u to meet jesus and feeling like god i have a plot armour to save myself and its okay to stereotype a martial arts
@@kermit1211 as much as i enjoy modern sparring TKD it's still just a leg fencing scoring points and nothing look like a fight. Old school at least is more into combat and dynamic kicks are used not just soft touch like nowadays

@@Theawesomeprohe is kind of right but if you see old school taekwondo,itf you will see the real stuff

they can defend themselves against majority of street thugs one on one
Filipino coach sounded really stressed while Korean coach was just really chill
I wonder how they train their legs to get that flexible

at 1:38 the south korean guy grabbed the filipinos leg that should end up as a penalty
I love muay thai

Hugging match
😂😂
wow red just gave up...
What a lousy fight! Cant you not use your hands too?
Of course you can. Punches to the body are scored manually.
You can but clearly you know nothing about the art
Just bunch of side kicks, with little axe kick here and there, a little round house here and there, Old school taekwondo is way better.
Alrighty grandpa
Ahh yes the old school which consist of 10% power kicks and 90% bouncing
Then comes manual scoring and its share of problems.
sidekicks are the jabs of Taekwondo. Your definition of "old school" is wreckless brawling if you don't like them using one or two kicks only

no match
Yea, he pretty much eased through the gold medal.
