- Gav and Dan travel to South Korea to film the Kukkiwon Taekwondo Team’s amazing high flying martial arts combined with gymnastic feats in slow motion. Team members can launch themselves 30 feet into the air smashing wooden boards on their way down. Their spectacular flying, flipping, spinning, twisting, gravity-defying theatrics, showcasing the board smashing is a thrilling spectacle in slow mo.

Taekwondo in slow motion looks so elegant, admittedly.

As a former instructor, I can only imagine how many hours these athletes had to train to be able to pull those moves off.
And all the injuries they had to endure...

Everybody trying the bottle cap challenge: this is hard

Watch Shin min cheol bottle cap challenge, he did two, one normal and one blindfolded
Usually people in slow motion look weird, but in this case you can see the focus in their eyes fixed on their targets and later where they land. Amazing
Sumo wrestling...

Great post! Watch my new compilation of slow motion videos th-cam.com/video/6azm13X84DY/w-d-xo.html
I also created and played all the music for this video!
yeah!!
@@benheine No matter if it fits to the video or not, you are still using a template which is clearly heartless, with no meaning except to advertise.
I'm just really impressed by how well they landed from big heights.
me: *_breaks every bone in my foot and my hip_*
Respect their art.
I too admire their landings the most.
I'm wondering if anyone broke their leg on landing and just hid the pain
They don't even roll when landing that's impressive
They ground is padded to prevent them from hurting themselves though
8:45 misses the last board
Guy holding the board: nothing to see here
I laugh
probably because there was a Gavin with a camera underneath him
It’s official taekwando is my new favorite martial arts style and it’s in god of hisghshcool
@@rosariogrant6171 how many people have I've seen say this exact words

I think the women’s kick was most impressive. No launch aid, just running and kicking.

Yes they are ,and this vedio is awesome and great ,total thumbs up!!! But If I am being honest while most of us can't do what they did and will probably lose in a fight against any one of them,,any average adult human can smash those pothetic pieces of wood,,and these performers would lose badly against any average UFC fighter
@@silence-humility-calmness yeah but.. can ufc fighters do what they're doing? These insane stunts? Taekwondo isnt necessarily about "who can win in a real fight" and is more about eastern philosophy and getting your inner self aligned (to put it in general terms).
Taekwondo:
Gravity: "Am I a joke to you?"
Scoot McLoot looooool
As a Taekwondo Person I can confirm that once you hit black belt gravity does become a joke to you.

Me : No I'm not
Them:- then be a taekondo master
Me : not all koreans are into taekwondo you know?
Them : *EXCUSES*
if i was Korean, i would be definitely be a proud Taekwondo master. You have a great martial artist, be bloody proud
I think almost every country in Asia has their own martial arts and so, it doesnt mean every person in that country must be a master, right
@@ranneth6872 i know, and that is a sad fact :(
I hope those guys got to see their own footage
Someone should post them on some kind of website where everyone can watch them.

same
Breaking wood is worse than useless though
Hello my identical twin, its been awhile
2:59 the board is already broken before he kicks it.......................
What is even more impressive is that these kicks can be used in actual fights, but the first thing they are taught is that they should avoid fighting unless absolutely necessary. I can only imagine the amount of training and injuries they had to go through.
Nah, their in Cobra Kai. No mercy.
Surprisingly few injuries, but quite a lot of very sore feet and legs.
The kukkiwon demo team has always been Incredibly impressive. I’d love to see their reaction to these shots
Me: breaks a tiny thin stick
Also me: AAAARGGGHHHHHHHHHH
@David Robinson yea
I took taekwondo for about a year... Not very long in taekwondo terms, but long enough to know that yes, most sticks will be harder to break than balsa wood unless you get a very thin very dry (brittle) stick.
@@isaaceyfish i would agree with you, if i didnt see the some of the boards exploding into 3 pieces from a strike from the ball of the foot.
I'm 13 and I break 1 inch boards
I’m in blue belt
edit: green belt
It's been a while since I've been so thoroughly impressed by human feats (and feet lol)
nope, your commenting privileges have been revoked
I laughed out loud at that one.
the wood is fake though.
@@Killatomate85 the actual breaking of the boards isn't the impressive part, its the multiple accurate kicks they can do when spinning in air at incredible heights that is so spectacular.
Triairius the flips themselves are called tricking, look it up if i like this you will love tricking 😅🙏🏻
I did taekwondo in elementary and middle school. Probably the thing I was most proud of was breaking a board into 3 pieces during my poom (youth black belt) test, as the boards we got pretty much always broke in 2.
@Juana Hernandez it only hurts if it doesn’t break
This is so amazing. I know there will be some idiots who will say that this doesn't apply to combat. Who cares. This is also a beautiful for of art and its incredible. I don't get how 1,4k people put a thumbs down on this. The only thing a think this series can improve it's the interviews and the comments by the hosts.
(Breaks wood) “oh, you think this doesn’t apply to combat?” (Breaks bones)
Having practiced taekwondo for 8 years now: Oh, no, it definitely applies to combat. Sure, most of this is flash- but you do not manage these kicks without serious flexibility and strength. You want to know what else flexibility and strength are good for? Kicking someone in the jaw and snuffing them out like a light.
That’s literally what Taekwondo means: “Hand, Foot, Art”
@@ladywaffle2210 Yeah there's the taekwondo you do to show off and the taekwondo you use to defend yourself. They're different styles that feed into each other
The level of coordination these martial artists have is insane. I could try my entire life and I'd never be half as cool as them lol.

@@afsarkhan1469 Sorry, my dude. I only speak english :(
Scraptor it’s. it prebroken it’s just soft balsa, but the toughness of the boards isn’t really the point now is it.
I’m a 2nd degree black belt in Taekwondo and the boards aren’t pre broken
Scraptor It’s more about demonstration of acrobatics and skills rather than power.
The best defensive move they have learned from taekwondo is that freaking shout . I wouldn't want to go against whatever makes that sound . They win before the fight starts .

@@JETBLACKPRIEST because they are the headquarters
Pieces of wood:**nothing**
These guys:"Heayaa!"
Awkward Guy it’s because shouting gives you more energy
The key is being to kick so high, so fast, so agile, and with so much dexterity.
Awkward Guy well most of the time they aren’t straight wood they do something and if you hit the middle of the board it’s so easy to break some are dehydrated so it’s easier to break, so much ways used so the wood breaks more easily
Peachy Face you could say that cut as long as you hit the middle ur fine

I do taekwondo
And I can’t see myself doing that in a couple thousand years XD
probably the only things I can do in the video are the first three.
1. The movements
2. Spinning kick combination-ending with a 540° spin kick
3. Jumping triple round kick (probably not as high, though
I’m a 1st degree black belt and all I can tell you is that you need lots of practice to be able to do what the kukkiwon demo team does
Boards don't hit back

Agreed, that wood be fascinating.
Yes thanks! I said the same thing a few videos ago! They're amazing birds!
@@VeggieNatureGirl 💯
These footages are taken a at least 6 months before, thus sadly we have to wait for a year to do the request
What's insane is how their faces remain calm and normal during all the slow mo
That's because the boards don't hit back
I wouldn't exactly say that 5:20 is a calm face, even for an asian. :D
They all black belt, it's part of their daily training so it's normal to remain calm
It is called focus. Besides they have almost no fat on their bodies, so there is nothing in their face to move...
Dude, two words: Super Saiyan

That was beautiful on so many levels!!! Technique, filming, choreography (especially), and the fighter's energies.
Kukkiwon is one of my biggest role models, I may not ever become as good as the ones in demo teams but they've inspired me to try taekwondo (obviously I am aware doing flips in the air and stuff is not the standard normal things that you will learn in taekwondo lol)
More athletes doing amazing stuff, please. Beautiful footage.
@@reducefeelings I agree
Dan being thrown by a Sumo is still my favorite clip to this day, love the sport clips.
This just wasn't the best SloMo video, this is the best video PERIOD that I've seen in a long time. It's like they are superpowered. When they lady kicked THREE boards in one jump my mind exploded.
It's really not difficult, the boards are easily breakable, the real feat is speed here, and the kind of speed these guys display IS superpowered.
@@evolicious It's the speed and the accuracy, really. Great stuff, especially in slomo
If you look closely, they had her do it twice

also notice at 4:32 when she kicks that last board, her foot/heel is getting caught, then right after they show it breaking different...looks like they used different shots
my favorite comment
Lol this comment made me spit out my drink.
Me: THROW
These Koreans are world class athletes. Amazing skills.
The scariest part of being on a demo team is holding the boards and trying not to get hit in the face

I've never seen taekwondo in slow motion and this one is beautiful
This isn't Taekwondo. Not one form was displayed in the entirety of this video. They are a circus of clowns who kick at wooden boards a child could easily break.

@@shem7146 u mean like this? th-cam.com/video/Rzd-wEAu5K0/w-d-xo.html
that's years and years of training and experience they're watching and Dan is more interested in the lighting on the sawdust :P
I went to Korea to participate in the TAEKWONDO KIMUNYONG CUP, and I saw their live performance in the stadium!
It was even more epic right in front of my eyes, also it was the same group who performed!!!
Anyone else here from America's Got Talent?
here!
how beautiful the motion in this! like how they control the spinning point combined the kicking technique
I always thought Hwoarang's triple kick aerial combo was total fiction until I saw that lady do it. Wow.
It’s not, there are kicks that are even more similar to that, well, for each of his triple air kicks but I know the one ur talking about is hunting hawk
Benjamin Davis Bruh we did that in my school’s taekwando demo
Damian Norbert oath it’s not hard
Its basic for every blackbelt in korean taekwondo
This was so much cooler than I thought it would be. Their athleticism is fantastic!
If anybody was wondering what the techniques are, they're these (from what I can tell):
2:36 - The first 2 guys are using spinning hook kicks for most of their techniques, a technique that uses the heel of the foot. The last kick by the guy on the left is a spinning round kick (using the instep, a.k.a. the top of the foot), and for the last kick by the guy on the right is probably some kind of spinning hook kick, I'm not exactly sure since I've never seen a spin like he did.
4:03 - The first kick is a front kick, the second - presumably a round kick. Normally you wouldn't kick that way in that position, and they would have the 2nd guy on the other side. 3rd is definitely a round kick.
5:15 - Front kicks, with some added aerial effects ;p
6:52 - I couldn't see the 1st technique, 2nd looks like a front kick based on the hip position, 3rd is round kick, and 4th is a front knee strike (it looks kind of weird though so maybe not).
7:50 - All front kicks, again, with aerial effects.
8:56 - Same as the last one.
10:02 - A front kick again.
Also I'd like to respond to something(s) they said in the video - It doesn't really hurt to kick the boards - unless you don't break them. It also depends on what part of your body you're using. Round kicks hurt more because you're using the top of the foot, and not the bottom. Another thing, you don't actually need too much strength, not too much more than the average adult (in my opinion), it's more about the snap. Think about this - if you have a whip, it will be more effective if you crack it at someone then if you hold it between your hands and run at them (not a very good metaphor, I know). Something else that helps breaking boards - concentrating the power of the technique. Like a pencil will go through a piece of paper then the palm of your hand. So what's really impressive here is how much air they're getting, and how they can do it so many times in a row.
Sorry for the rant, and if I got anything wrong please tell me - I'm not an expert (just a blue belt) but I'm giving my two cents in case it helped anybody.
I am a red belt, I went into the comments to say the same thing about the boards not hurting unless you dont break them. Very informative and from my (somewhat limited) knowledge, accurate
I love watching this . I come back here every years.
Demonstration 1: Such synchronization!
Demonstration 2: It looks like she's stair-stepping, but it's just pure inertia!
Demonstration 3: It looks like an eruption!
Demonstration 4: Loop-de-loop?
Demonstration 5: Loop-de-loop! (nods) Definitely a loop-de-loop that time! Looked like a running-style back-flip!
And demonstration 6: Two-story back-flip!
THAT was impressive!!

This was awesome. Taekwondo is my absolute favorite martial art. The speed, power, athleticism, and acrobatics are insane.
Taekwondo is pretty hype but I still swear by Muay Tai
@@Countdownsmiles yep, when it comes to real life fight situations Taekwondo is really risky to use depending on the people you fight. MMA and Muay Thai are the best choice.
@@zanjisu mma isn't really a style though. Mma is a combination of different striking and grabbling styles. Muay Tai and Tae Kwon Do are some of the most common striking styles incorporated into mma
Tawekondo looks amazing so does gymnastics. But wooden boards doesn’t fight back😅
@@darkmaster1803 ok Bruce.
By far my favorite slow mo video... awesome!
Love this video!
the whole point of the wood Isn't to show how hard they kick its to show accuracy, the wood is super flimsy, Still really impressive.
No dude it does show how hard they kick and about the accuracy even even if we don't aim perfectly at our target it just flows naturally and we know we will hit it
@@whiskey2492 No, it doesn't show how hard they kick. Look at the way the wood breaks. They position the pieces of wood with it's fibers parallel to the foot, that way it's easier to break. The same thing is done in those demonstrations of "strenght", where an athlete breaks multiple slabs of wood. Strenght is required, of course, but positioning the wood with the fibers in the right orientation helps A LOT.
I’ve practiced teakwondo since I was three. I am a black belt. Trust me, the wood is not soft.
@@cassidran5774 not soft brittle.
@@errorerror6918 Ive broke those boards easily with my head with almost no effort they are incredibly brittle and split in very predictable ways. It's more of a parlor trick than anything. Now if they were breaking inch diameter dowel rods that would be incredibly impressive in muay thai we smack each other in the shins with them to condition ourselves for checking kicks. The impressive part of this video is their acrobatic ability
I am under taekwondo for over 8 years now and it actually doesn't hurt kicking that wooden plate you just need to kick on the right way
Dude, some of those kicks it looked like there was 0 impact in the foot, which seems INSANE to me. How do they transfer that energy so efficiently?
@@Crazy_Diamond_75 while its true a well executed kick will splinter a board and not hurt (really after the time it takes you to get good enough at TKD your feet will have become pretty desensitised anyway) the boards they use for this demo are super porous and soft so they break easily. not because they cant destroy solid boards but because the point of the demo is the acrobatics and not the power, plus when youre kicking 100s of them in a show and you risk landing on them its also a safety thing. the K-tigers also have other demos where they do power breaking, like im talking 2x4 slabs of pine boards stacked up and cider blocks/granite slabs
@@Crazy_Diamond_75 Think hitting a ball. You follow through so that as much momentum goes into that ball as possible and so you don't need to waste energy slowing down. They're just hitting the ball really, really hard.
@@yareyare_dechi So it's the wood equivalent of safety glass.
Charles Dysart yup. However during belt testing it’s usually real wood and not safety wood as we’ll call it.
Great shots. Great motions.
I never knew I needed this.
