don't try this at home 🏡
Don’t take any kind of drugs and stay away from addictive bad habits.
Too late man 😔
👍
Should've said that like 10 years ago. But thanks :)
👍
Stay away from modern women.
BRING BACK OLD SCHOOL🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋
Yes bro 🥲
You mean player
Those old school are retired
Kha ho aap
Boliye
Yes ❤❤❤ miss those old school martial arts and Olympics 😢
Old taekwondo looks more beautiful than now days
More aggressive
I have to agree.. but as the form is now a sport.. safety of the participants are becoming important (reducing life changing injuries). Just like archery.. We practice to be more consistant and more accurate at long distance.. Imagine someone says, lets go back to the old ways.. Shooting longbows, flatbows, handme downs, and having your fingers chopped off by the enemy lol... (Tha'ts where UP YOURS came from.. Fun and accurate Fact)
Part of me feels like if you go back to old rules, it still won't look as good because the skill level increased. Usually when sports get more figured out, it becomes more boring.
The flashy stuff doesn't work at the top level.
@@tgo007 Then you understand.. The OLD WAYS is not our goal.. We have enhanced,... we have predicted that old ways have better ways...PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!.. That's all it is.. Practice.. over and over and over again.. Till you hit your mark!
@@tgo007 If you want the old ways go do ITF which is still based on power and speed unlike WTF which is watered down because of the Olympics
Those were the time when it meant to be a martial arts not a sport like nowadays
Those were the time when the helmet is used to protect the player instead of counting scores.
nah all karate and tkd are just sports real fighting is mma
@@baconfacegamer792 ?????
@@DjUnknow808 all this like "old school was real" still is bs. martials arts are just sports and aren't actually practical(aside from a few) . they have always been just gimmicky
@@baconfacegamer792 MMA is also a Martial Art. Even the name of it "Mixed Martial Arts" already speak what it is. Karate have multiple forms. It's literally just like MMA. Especially Kudo : Kyokushin Karate, Judo, Jiu Jitsu and all other Japanese Martial Arts mixed in it.
The old school taekwondo is more aggressive and I can understand that because there's no hit sensor back then so they really have to hit hard so the judges can hear the impact sound better. That's how you satisfy the judges. However, there are more room for misjudgment from the judges back then. Eventhough the hit is strong enough judges may not deemed it a score. Plus there are biases from judges too back then. Today with the hit sensor device biases from judges are drastically minimized. Score is now based on hit sensor device. The problem however today is that you don't have to hit hard to score. Just a little tap on the body armor and it's a score already. The one thing that's missing today is the martial art aspect of Taekwondo.
i think thats better no need to injure anyone like in wwes
Agree
There is still that fantastic Taekwondo of the origins, unchanged and powerful!
And it's called Taekwondo ITF 🥋♥️
today modern taekwondo like a play a stupid idiotic game..not a fight...they are just a disabled person who FALL always on their asses...( old shools was real fighter...to hit to kill and more hard..) as example taekwondo is not real martial art...if u see ..come MUAY THAI !!!
@@heisenberg4977 semi contact LMAO
When I still trained back in 2005-2009 WTF TKD still looked like a battle. Now a days its a total shame and I can´t believe the organization thinks it has become better. TKD needs to go out from Olympic so it can go back to the best days
I was looking at the recent women's WTF competition and thought this awful. Their arms are hanging and swinging around like wet noodles and there is not strength behind any of their hits.
05-12 , 60+ battles 🫡 2nd dan
That is why there is 2 styles. WTF and ITF. Go learn ITF.
@@johnnybaum7957 No its not the same. Its a complete different style of TKD. I want the old WTF from 2006 style.
@@johnnybaum7957 itf is not even full contact. tf?
80s and 90s Taekwondo, when men were men. Tkd was war, and battle and tkd fighting was like an action movie. Glory days. Today is just a sport.
Yes. In the 1970s and 1980s, we had soldiers from S. Korea, Turkey, Taiwan and Iran fighting in the international tournaments. Boy, were they tough!
When men were men🤡
With all combat sports minus mma. From Tyson to Mayweather
Like most Sports... 😂
@@mcmerry2846 mma still real fight. But TKD now is just fencing but with feet.
Still can’t believe the WTF/WT destroyed the sport w/ electronic scoring. Heartbreaking. Cant even watch the new foot fencing.
Antes se iba a cazar al oponente, a llevarlo a la lona. Porque los puntos eran dependientes de la decision arbitral.
Cuando metieron los petos electronicos , se acabo el Taekwondo como deporte de combate.
Un saludo de un competidor internacional de los 90
One of the biggest differences to me, is that a lot of the new school guys seem to fall down after dam near every kick, you didn't see much of that back in the day. Also the old school TKD guys would launch major attacks with extreme power. It was like more of an actual fight and less of the sport aspect. And back then, it was difficult to obtain a point if the kick wanst hard enough.
Who tf banned using hand in tkd
@@TereshaGMominhands aren’t banned, they just aren’t utilized nearly as much anymore because artificial sensors detect kicks way better.
@@SafeBurrito5465 I once punched my opponent unintentionally and I got a gam jeon. In that case isn't hand available in taekwondo? I mean, a straight punch is indeed allowed but only once. Tdk was a combat sport in which whole body was utilised. Even knee strikes were allowed back then. And now it's just a part of taegeuk 7.
@@TereshaGMomin in the version i practice you can punch unless it’s to the face ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@SafeBurrito5465 Ofc in my version also hands are not banned. But usage of hands is highly restricted and can't punch more than twice at once. Irl u can't fight using hands. That's what I'm trynna say. Afterall, Ik you're a WTF practitioner too, and all our rules are same. But wtf is not very useful irf
Old school fights 100% spectacular and agresive.
Back when there's no electronic vests, you need power to connect your kicks and make an impact/sound/effect to get a score. Also, KO = Instant win.
In some tourneys today they don’t put the electronic vests cause it is too easy to abuse for points, my dojang teacher told me
where is KO not an instant win?
@@zendraw3468 I think in Olympic Karate rules, if you KO your opponent you'll lose by disqualification. I'm not sure but from what I remember it's Karate.
@@JMRVRGS since when is there such a thing as olympic karate?
I am a technology enthusiast, so the electronic vest makes me feel very excited. However, the misuse of electronic vests detracts from the true value of traditional Taekwondo. I'm also a person who likes classic Taekwondo and hates modern WTF so I have an opinion. Why don't we make a chip on the vest that can measure kick force, so we can penalize kicks that don't have enough force? The Olympic Games should designate kicks with enough force as kicks that can break an opponent's bones.
Back in the day, our instructor’s emphasis was both speed & power. With protective equipments, competitors still get hurt pretty bad. I’m sorry but the TKD nowadays is more like tapping the right area of the gear to score a point. It seems that way to me, anyways.
Ata while it’s not as intense as some others I’d say, you get speed and power in some divisions. There is more heavy duty defensive gear so people tend to not pull their kicks.
Go to ITF Taekwondo. They still do it the old style.
olympics has ruined competitive taekwondo.
True
The difference I can see is the old style they fell less after executing a technique
You used to need to hit hard, now if the sensor hit it's ok, the power difference is giant
No power today in tkd
Itf Taekwondo is a original Taekwondo..WT is an Olympic version..
Tkd was a martial art in the old days ...now it's a sport...and useless in self defence
Our instructor still teaches us old school taekwondo and that is why in every regional tournament our club always dominates
👍
I find that a bit hard to believe tbh.
As much as I love the old school stuff, it gets stopped by front leg checking very easily.
what club what region
not true probably, old school looks better and is better for real fighting, but it gets beat by the cut kick dominant new style in tournaments
@@diddlenfiddle7311It's not that hard to break it and if you do it then the opponent is very vulnerable
2:18 i love this
Old taekwondo were like missiles, the new taekwondo is like covering with guns
Old Taekwondo fighting styles are the best show!
So interesting to see! Old WT style tkd is somewhat more reminiscent of my style of tkd (ITF) but there are so many differences! We also stopped used chest guards awhile ago so people are much less likely to tank those hits (and there are more restrictive rules about not hitting areas like the back). I haven't competed in a few years so I'm not sure what has changed, but it's really interesting hoe two arts that both call themselves taekwondo are so different. The biggest thing I see here is that modern WT style has very mobile arms. This does allow for more punches but I also see them swinging around sory or wildly during kicks. I would love to hear if there's a reason for this, since in ITF style we discourage this due to the openings it creates.
to my knowledge, sometimes the swing of the arms help create rotation as well as speed which helps a lot, in some matches it can also deceive the opponent. But yes I agree with you its really interesting to see the different styles of tkd
@@Legit_MrJoeSnow I see! That actually makes sense, since the sine wave in ITF taekwondo favors hip rotation, we have no need of arm swings. WTF taekwondo doesn't use sine wave, so I can see potential utility there if they rotate at the trunk instead of the hips.
the original tkd back in the 70s b4 it became a sport Nd when they used hands, legs, knees, elbows Nd legs. Yes tkd was a actual fighting killing sport until it sold its self to be a sport Nd changed to just legs
@@jayheredia6975 Ah to be clear, ITF style does still use hand strikes, elbows, and knees. I only meant that there was no particular need to use arms to generate torque since ours comes from hip rotation instead of chest rotation. I can't claim to know much about how the WTF does things, but ITF style has remained much like it was when General Choi made it.
I train ITF, and had an opportunity to compete recently, and i must that now it's mostly kicking, arms are becoming a bit less active than in the past (thats what my trainer says) so thats the main change recently.
It would be nice if I was born in a time like that. Most martial arts have been so worn down unfortunately, weak mentality because people don't like to overcome to be able to take hard difficult and crushing work... That's one of the reasons I do Tae Kwon Do AND Wrestling, so I have better odds to defend myself and also to build my mentality because fortunatly Wrestling isn't very watered down depending on the style you do... I do the ITF style for Tae Kwon Do which uses hands. Could probs knock someone out who's not a pro fighter and all, or at least do enough harm he can no longer attack me... I love Tae Kwon Do but I'm jealous of when it was for people who wanted to be martial artists and FIGHTERS if need be, you can still be a fighter in Tae Kwon Do don't get me wrong, it's just not the same anymore which is very sad.
Check out Kudo Daido Juku. It has all what you need.
@@ltvprmnms the problem is that prob he dont got kudo daido in her city
I fought TKD on an international level in the 80s and 90s. We had bruises all over our bodies, we were bloodied, broken fingers and toes were kind of normal. But we had fun AND we were a bunch of proud people.
And now we are all sad to see what has happened to this fantastic martial art (which it ain't any more).
@@andreasplienegger835 Most of my injuries in TKD came from sparing with lower levels and trying not to hurt them.
I was sparing with a guy that outweighed me by at least 50 lbs. He was a lower rank and had some toleration for the lower rank. But, this guy liked punching at my hands. I thought this is not boxing! With all his punches at my hands he proceeded to dislocate my little finger. Did I finch, did I go running to instructor crying? NO! I just got mad. So, the next time we were partnered, I proceeded to kick him in the face. I didn't think it was a hard kick, but he said "Stop! I am seeing stars."
We sparred old school WTF, brutal
Old school TAGB didn't even use chest protectors etc (just gloves, footguards, headguard, gumshield, and a box for the boys)... we also got penalised if we fell over (not sure if that was 'standard' TAGB, or just something imposed by our master)... result was less foot-fencing (iirc), and more focus on defence, along with using the hands (feint with the foot, and punch etc... or vice versa :D)
I’m confused. First clip looked like a genuine KO
Old school the most terrifying and violent

Good
Yeah but that was when it was exciting. Did you watch any of 2024 Olympic Taekwondo matches? It's boring nowadays.
better LEARN a MIX MARTIAL ART...than onLy just one martial art taekwondo......
Ive been in this sport a long time, I'm a 4th degree blk belt. Here is the problem with the sport.. well a few.
1. People that do this at a high lvl ruined it by only sparring to generate as many points as possible during a match. Look at this guy's constantly looking over to see if they won the point.
2. Korean taekwondo is far more technical than the washed down version of it we have here, a round kick in Korea isn't the same in the US and it's obvious.
3. Kids earn blk belts so much faster and they aren't any good, but they become blk belts at age twelve.. makes no sense to me.
Lastly, as flashy and as cool looking as it may be, the best part of this martial art is the ability to through and fine tune almost every kick you would generally use in other martial arts. If you get these kicks down here.. when you move on to a different practice you will crush.
Saudades do Taekwondo raiz , hoje em dia este Taekwondo esporte nem de longe se assemelha a arte marcial koreana com seus chutes devastadores.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Meu pai era professor faixa preta 2° Dan... Ele treinava a gente pra dar nocaute... Mas uma coisa que ele disse: até o nocaute tem muito preparo e estudo do adversário. Se o adversário vinha em nossa direção como esse cara veio, ele tomava um pé na cara que voltava o nocaute dele contra ele mesmo. A gente era pesado, mas extremamente rápidos.
Também treinei esta época, bons tempos, aprendi muitas técnicas que hoje em dia são esquecidas na maioria das academias
Essas olimpíadas da frança, todas as lutas são muito chatas e sem alma, parada e só uns doidos dando uns pisão sem vontade.
1st clip is prolly old school since the guy is from mexico
Antigamente nós nos preocupávamos em dar chutes, hoje em dia se preocupam em marcar ponto.
En cierta parte el taekwondo viejo se ve mas espectacular porque a ellos no les inportaban mucho los puntos ellos querian noquearte o sofocarte para desabilitarte
El moderno se centra en marcar puntos
0:57 El rojo y el azul estaban casi a la par, el rojo con superioridad en técnica y el azul en su defensa, tanto que el rojo se desesperó. Pero aprovecho una abertura y alli el azul estuvo en desventaja
Es lo importante de la mentalidad. Tener paciencia para esos pequeños momentos hace la diferencia en una pelea
Muy bien análisis
Com certeza Raiz! Treino desde 1985!
I remember walking into my first taekwondo tournament as a kid and seeing a kid crying walking out as blood gusheddd out his nose. Now taekwondo has gone soft. Glad I picked up some good skills and techniques and transitioned into boxing
Same but i still do it bc our instructor teaches old school
@@raiden1403 old school taekwondo needs to make a comeback. It made shotokan karate look soft. Nowadays taekwondo looks softer than bjj 😂
Times have changed
ITF vs WTF, ITF es deportivo, WTF es espectaculo
¿Sigue valiendo cuando se tiran al piso? Terrible ejecución, me deja inhabilitado, pero le di la patada primero. Se resuelve todo en drop-kicks porque no bloquea nadie.
Old taekwondo style is way cooler.
As a taekwondo player i can say that in new taekwondo there are so many rules and regulations which makes watching fights boring. We don't get that level of cool vibe in new style of tkd
Blame the Olympics. All sports these days are getting weak because of the technology and sms.
El cambio de reglas arruino al Taekwondo deportivo ,no asi al marcial que es eterno
Whats the difference? Maybe i'm not an expert but i see not much difference except the quality of the videos. I don't want to break down the fighting style but I find a regular taekwondo match really boring to watch. These right here are exceptional snippets and probably not top level or they would fight much more defensively.
I think it is just to show that it has become more of a sport than a fighting style because they showed lots of powerful kicks in the old one. But you know you get what you give
Try to see some more TKD old school, and try to see the TKD Tokyo 2020 Olympic. and you will see the difference in new and old TKD
more aggression
more bloodlust
Today is just leg fencing
@@coolaidman7513 Some typical kicking techniques can come in handy in self-defense, "if fighting has taken place at a distance", but otherwise it is indeed just a sport comparable to fencing.
@@DragonSeass That is indeed possible, but what I mainly wanted to say is that those matches are damn boring, both in the past and now. I will not comment on the original taekwondo itself that they teach in the Korean mountains.
Old School was until 1980, without protetors. My father was a Brazilian Champion in this era.
I quit taekwondo 6 years ago, I used to win championships in my city but at some point, it turned boring for me, and I also felt that modern taekwondo was thought for skinny and tall athletes putting aside strength and explosiveness
2:20 was great. That guy was on the ground and still kicked the snot out of the standing opponent.
The difference is when Tekken came out and now everyone wants to be Hwoarang
Not being allowed to punch the head completely invalidates this as a striking martial art aka an Art of War.
Me gustaría aprender TKD antiguo
Old school is the real Taekwondo!!
I miss old tkd.
Man having lived his life competitively I genuinely relate to this footage. However, I also expanded and learned many other combatives. Now looking back I see all of the holes and flaws, but I also see the genius and the things that most others would miss
Saya 2004-2009 ,masih main keras beda dengan taekwondo sekarang udah pake digital body😁
Que saudade de treinar… até me arrepia vendo esse video
Me too
Mi deporte favorito... Pero los competidores de hoy en día dejan mucho que desear😂😂
Old school TKD requires sharp reflexes, timing and technique. Just my opinion.
The South Korean TKD committees ruined TKD when they tried to make it "different" than karate to qualify as an Olympic sport when Seoul hosted the Olympics back in the day. that's where those stupid chest protectors came in. We never used all that gear before. Now the kids look so floppy in their upper bodies because they don't even use their arms.
I thought I was the only one who missed the old taekwondo, I am 50 years old, I practiced until I was 25, and the fights that you see in this video were a waste of intensity, technique and variety.
Today I am very sad to see the Olympic Games and see how taekwondo is not even the shadow of what it was.
I just hate how back when I was doing it, it was looked down upon to gloat or try and show you think you got a point. I hate seeing after every few kicks the new guys have to take time out the fight to cheer themselves
El comité olímpico no quiere poner el Karate como juego olímpico, es para reírse. 😅😅😅
my style is very much like old school
i guess thats how i was taught (i learnt like 7 years ago)
Some people play taekwondo.
Some others fight taekwondo.
Sansores is the guy in the first clip. People call him rough all of the time, now I understand he's was just using old school techniques. He ended 4th place at the olympics this year.
Naaaahhh those won't survive in street fights
I can't watch olympic Taekwondo for one reason really the fact they throw a technique then four or five seconds later do a shout, I get the shout while throwing the strike but several seconds after is weird.
Old school is no joke
Idk about the actual big tournament event but for what I know an old-school used sound on the guard when you kick to get points, so no matter how hard you kick if there's no sound then you don't get a point which that kinda brutal b'coz even without sound you can knock out your opponent to get point/win
As I see New school is more controlled and skilled, meanwhile Old school is just being agressive and wild.
Being aggressive is literally the big factor that wins you fight alongside techniques and experience. Hesitation in one slight moment means defeat. Control only for training and sparring, there's no place for that in competition or real fighting. Anyone who telling you otherwise is trying to sell you some philosophy instead of how to win fights
Old one is Taekwondo
New one is Foot Fencing
yeah, sure. You're right. I was training in different versions, like GTF, FTF and ITF. So, the modern taekwondo similar FTF, no hands, no techniques against weapon and so on. And yes, this is competitive taekwondo, but it's good too. Cause it very speedy.
They both are shit
New,School isn't that impressive.
Wtf deviated so much from the intend and root of a martial art that olympic tkd is not traditional any more.
Competition used to be the pinnacle of showing skills. Allow using hands ffs.
Когда ТКД включили в олимпийские виды спорта, я обрадовался что смогу смотреть такие состязания на олимпиаде. А когда увидел олимпийскую трансляцию ТКД, я удивился уровню деградации. Олимпийские правила уничтожили хармзму ТКД ВТФ. Сегодня это похоже на петушиные бои в базарный день. Слава богу ТКД ИТФ не стал олимпийским.
❤❤❤❤TAEKWONDO FIGHT ❤❤❤❤❤
It was more rough back then
True bro
Старая школа рулит! В старой школе таэквондо более акцент рованные и четкие удары и отточенная техника.
Современное таэквондо выродилось в балет🤮
The Mexican guy strike a lovely kick I love TKD 🥋🥊 proud to be from México 😎
i still prefer the old WT style. it displays more speed and power.
It used to be more beautiful than it is today
No it is not 2022, rules in like 2022 its not rules in 2022
2 things: in old school, their fists were still pretty useless most of the time and that’s a poor reflection of TRUE taekwondo. On the plus side, they truly launched their feet at their opponents with intent to do harm. I think that’s also important. Because at the end of the day, if you’re just playing tag, it’s not taekwondo in any way, shape or form.
Now they are faster and lighter and because of that there is a lack of support to transfer more power, positions and forms back in the day were meant to create more power plus speed so they were more stable, now is mostly simply speed with less stability and power.
Nice hit 🇲🇽👏
As a taekwondo student I feel like they should be teaching old fashion taekwondo
What happened to the first dude?
this is TKD without hands, just one version of TKD, does not represent the whole TKD.
Old TKD looks like reverse boxing.
TKD these days are a joke. KO we get disqualified for no self control. So I'll ask them this 'Do you expect to do self control by not wanting to knock the assailant out when comes to real fight?'
TKD old school was the best when we really fight & pulling those cool moves without needing to wear body pad & headgear.
These days we just see toe fencing. Just do snap kicks as long as the big fat toe touches the body & score points.
Worse when I saw got VR version of sparring. Man, they're training a bunch of wimps. If they're so scared of getting injured, then just play Tekken which is injury free.
Yesss we never wore any gear in the 90s, only maybe in a tournament and I hated it. I’m looking at putting my son in TKD and wtf has happened to it.
@@Filterless40s during my days we wore sparring gloves & boots but I think it was after 2000 they wore the body pad. That pad seriously hinders my movement especially when I want to try to do downward kick (axe kick equivalent). I don't need to talk about headgear since I can't even wear one due to my head size & shape.
That's why I'm so disappointed & sad when martial arts today are more into sport rather than prepare us in real life situations
@@adrianchan5568 I totally agree. The amount of times I’ve used my training in real life situations is astounding. I’m 5’1 and I’ve blocked punches, threw punches and kicked. Knowing what a kick or a punch feels like just makes you a better fighter That’s the whole point of it is it not? Yes nice to have some sport but jeeze this is just silly
@@Filterless40s true. These days martial arts dojo is just a gym for them. Just sweating around while throwing punches & kicks aerobics. Wish the old school martial arts are still around. I hate when being told to do self control when we used full strength when sparring. Isn't that the purpose of sparring?
& now with VR sparring which was used in Singapore recently, I was just shaking my head & I said to my friend that we don't need to warm up to fight these guys. We just whip their butts & make them cry to their mummy or their masters
Eso sí era Taekwondo 🥋.
Idk. Watching the old videos they’re definitely putting a lot more power into it, I can see the argument that it used to be more of a “real” combat sport. But I also don’t see a lot of control in the old videos. They’re just flinging wild kicks at each other; sometimes they land will brutal impact. Sometimes they whiff and land flat on their asses. Seems like it should be somewhere in between
It only looks like wild kicks to you because you never learned TKD.
The majority of the head shots are because a) they don’t block and b) they stand there with their hands down and don’t move off the line or attack and “get inside” to disrupt the opponent’s attack.
I do this at home when I practice Taekwondo and at Taekwondo
Every sport evolves, although the version of TKD I learned in the early nineties onwards and how we trained, sparred and fought is, in comparison to how it is currently taught, at times at unrecognisable to me now. I recently started training again and I find the currently way it is taught feels sanitized if that makes any sense. It feels easier. Less raw. Less enjoyable as a result. Such is life I guess.
1999 is old school? Damn... I thought 1975 was old school..
Probably 1940 or so
Don’t try this at home try this at your house 😂😂😂
Does anyone has concern for todays taekwondokas being 6'5 giants with legs longer than spear of Lu Bu?
levent tuncat and paul green both of them practiceing old school teakwondo try with lee dee hoon old shool is the best i am 4 moroccan champion from 1986 to 1989
Modern Taekwondo is like.........I TOUCH YOU, I HUG YOU, I PUSH YOU.
😶😶
Would they know what to do if you started boxing them? I guess I'm gonna find out. I started Taekwondo a few months ago and will be sparring soon. I'll be doing alot of boxing.
How has utilizing boxing worked for you in your current environment? Did you find any success or any insights you'd like to share?
@bancholeo55 soo here's how all that has played out. I have been very frustrated. The current Taekwondo system is designed to leave no room for boxing. Here's tournament rules:
No front kicks below the belt
Head punches don't count
Front punches don't count
No elbows or knees
No spinning back fist
You are technically not supposed to block with the leg
There's probably others I'm forgetting
Moreover, greenbelts aren't allowed to make contact. Now at first that didn't seem bad until people were getting points (in class) because I allowed their strikes to get too close. It didn't matter I blocked them. They were still too close. Due to all this, I have no care to do a tournament. I'm not saying I want to go into MMA and get messed up but I don't want all those restrictions either.
(Edit) every 2 months they go into defense cycle. The rules of strikes are lifted. I use more boxing then. When I do a front jab, most of them don't react because I guess they are not used to defending against it.
@@bancholeo55 I realized my response was quite negative. So I wanted to say some positive things. The dojo is a positive atmosphere. They have no tolerance for "bullies" or any scenario where people who might be "lesser than" get made fun of. The instructors are great people. They've helped me get in great shape. They've taught me how to get more power out of my kicks. They are always encouraging
@@adamdavidsoddities8573 Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!! 🙏🏾🥋
To me... repeat, to me... old school is less flamboyant but more "martial" and "warriorish" than newer style.
"Old School" martial arts is 1999??? lol lol lol lol lol
bro the guy in the video he get so mad he start shothing and he was doing some amzing kick woooow
In the 90’s when we fought it felt like a battle of experience and endurance, now it’s all flashy
I'm learning the old school taekwondo from a Korea veteran
Ah, the new debate: Taekwondo versus the modern "Kick for Points-Do." While the essence of Taekwondo embodies discipline, strength, and technique, it seems we've transitioned into an era where the art of scoring points takes precedence. It's as if we've shifted from the profound depth of a martial art to a high-octane game of tag - albeit with more style and flexibility. Let's not forget, though, both styles carry the spirit of Taekwondo at their core, each teaching us invaluable lessons in strategy, agility, and perseverance. Whether you're a purist or a points-chaser, the journey through the ranks of Taekwondo, or should we say, "Kick for Points-Do," offers a unique blend of tradition and innovation.
