I really like your videos, clear explanation and easy to understand. I do have 1 quick question, Sir.. I've tried the technique you've shown @11:19, during sparring session with my senior, it works really well. Scored a few times using it. But my senior told me that in a formal tournament, pressing opponent's arm down like that is not allowed? Is it true that it would get penalized in a match if i do that? I've never joined any competition before so I'm not quite sure.. or different country have different sparring rules? I'm from Malaysia..
I do not see blocking each others arms as a penalty, might be some sort of a gray area but make sure you do not grab while you do it. Only grabbing is obviously not allowed.
@@W1Taekwondo Yes, I was definitely not grabbing, i know that's not allowed. I was pressing my opponent's arm down just enough for my leg to pass over to do a crescent kick. I particularly find this technique really useful during the clinch, just wanted to be sure i can use it in the tournament as i plan to join one very soon. Thank you for your reply and for sharing your knowledge.
@@w3nl1m I think this particular technique is difinitely a grey area. If you do it exactly as he does it in the video you might get a penalty. If you do it more subtly with straight arms over theirs to block their reach you will probably have an easier time getting away with it. I know that if I was reffing a match where someone pushed the arms down like this I would call a Gam-Jeom.
@@NACHOS125 everyone loses more fights than they win. its natural and its how we learn. based on my experience its better to maintain close distance when fighting someone who is twice your size.
Sir next vid can you on how to counter your opponent that likes to side step when you move forward for the offense and likes to run inside the court to avoid your attack's
6:40 How to continue the clinch. Your explanation for why a player would want to stall the action in order to win is DISHONORABLE. You should teach students to continue the action until the end. The tactical play you advise is against the spirit of TKD and contributes to bad play which everyone is criticizing TKD for nowadays. Also you should address the issue of what to do when someone HOLDS you and is not getting called on it. This happens ALL THE TIME in poorly ref'ed tournament play. Finally what about punching? I advise Punch, push, kick combo to create space. I know punches are almost never scored but it doesn't mean you can't or should not use them. PS - I'm a WT 4th dan. Trained since 1980
We will have to agree to disagree. The clinch is part of any combat sport and a good player knows how to use it. It has been and it will be. Only unexperienced players think the greatest honor is in non stop fighting. There is strategy and tactics in any game that sometimes rely on avoiding the exchanges because it is simply smarter. Only making the game only about that, let`s say obstructing the game ALL the time is in detriment of a sport.
@@W1Taekwondo Thanks for responding. I am an experienced player. Just not of this era. You didn’t address the real critiques I have of the sport which are basically the cheating. Yes I understand gamesmanship. I understand clinch game very well too. I have seen clinch game change many times over the decades. This era is particularly prone to illegal grabbing and I don’t think referees are calling it sufficiently. I do think recent rule changes have begun to change thinking about the clinch. As a TKD coach I believe You should be aware of and responsive to critiques of the current game. If you’re only concerned about winning in the current game I suppose looking at critiques is not of use to you. I do like your videos. Drills to develop skills are a key component of sport Taekwondo. I hope we can meet in person someday I do live in the area
@@verlyncraig I do look at critiques which is the reason I engaged with you. I respect your experience and dedication to the art. Thank you for your input. The sport is not perfect like any other activity, so my goal is to enjoy it the way it is and find the best ways to win in an ethical way. Maybe we will meet someday and debate more.
I presume that it is the difference between the martial art and the sport. It's two very different versions of Tae Kwon Do. Both are valuable in my eyes. And personnally I try humbly to add it partially in mixed martial arts so it's again another point of view. But I see the point of no stopping the fight in my case. Anyway, very interesting video, thanks 👍

if your using clitch i suddgest use a cresent kick its very good for the opponents are just clitching
Can you make a video on proper canceling technique
will add this to the list. thank you
Can you do a turning back kick during that position?
Is it not illegal to do turning back kick during clinch?
We want techniques to increase speed
Did that to my opponent that is 2 times my mass and taller than me, didn't work well hahahaha,
But thanks for the video
that will always happen. nothing will work 100% of the time, up and downs are part of the game.
@@W1Taekwondo I got kick in the jaw

Are you allowed to punch in the clinch? Are you allowed to throw hooks?
Yes but not hooks.
