Hey Jeff, great vid, there is just one thing i wan't to correct, ITF taekwon-do, are diferent from WTF, and we do punch on the face and the body. Im from Spain, where ITF it's not very popular, on my region (catalunya) there is only 2 or 3 masters, which are disciples of my master (Master Francesc Campanya), so i don't really know how it works outside of that, but ITF TKD it's very close to karate shotokan, so a lot of techniques are similar, we do spar, we do punch, leg kick and kick with both shin and foot. At least in my Dojang we do two kinds of sparring, a "realistic sparring" with low kicks takedowns (no ground game) oriented to a more realistic bouts (some of my partners compete on amateur kickboxig fights) and a "competition sparring" more limited to the rules of the semicontact match

Isaac Yeon Oh yeah, for sure. I just meant that generally speaking the WTF style is usually sport/competition focused. I even think having a mixture of ITF and WTF can also be a great thing, the WTF style teaches great kicking speed, footwork, and strategy. That’s basically what I have, a mixture of ITF, WTF, boxing training, and some judo practice.

[@Liquidcadmus]

some ITF instructors around the world actually include proper boxing and basic judo in their training. originally the style has throws and a wide variety of punching techniques, it's all in the TKD encyclopedia. but the average teacher doesn't have those skills taught.

[@Liquidcadmus]

@karate guy it has a lot of hand techniques, the same as in Karate, but it's not boxing. martial art punches are different from boxing for a lot of reasons, mainly; having hand wraps and gloves changes everything. by the way, Tang Soo Do is not ITF Tkd, they have nothing in common other than both being from Korea.

[@gongfutaijimy]

TaekwondoPanda Kind of. It kinda is body mechanics and fascia control to the extreme. What you get is excellent biomechanics, which gives you excellent strength efficiency and a very intuitive understanding and sensitivity towards human structure. the ability to connect your whole body at certain angles to generate power that looks almost fake, as well as the ability to manipulate your own structure so that grappling with a Tai Chi person just feels off as he is more sensitive towards your body structure than you and will use it against you. What it lacks is a complete curriculum to bring these advantages to the ring, not enough live sparring, lack of understanding of submission and conventional takedown techniques, mysticism.. etc At least, that is my working theory for now.

I enjoy both and they both have their strengths and weaknesses but because of their chosen paths they are different.

But I struggle to believe the federation would somehow tolerate different rules etc, and the rules determine the way people fight.

[@Diogenes2077]

Well that might be because there 'real' martial artist claim the TMA technics won't work in real fighting. But in real fighting there are no restrictive rules. So by poking the guys eyes and the guy being unprepared to defend against something not allowed in his set of rules, he kinda shows that BJJ is fake as well. Before anybody starts shouting, I don't believe BJJ is fake, but it is limited. A trained BJJ fighter might eat a boxer in a one on one, but get kicked his head in by three guys trained in soccer, while the boxer would knock them all out.

just to be clear in TKD you practice and use punches. There's a big difference between the sport practice, the one you see on the olympics, and the martial arts training. Any good gym should teach both: the complete martail art and the moves you can use to score points in the sport.

Tai Chi is a fighting art, But it is NOT normally taught that way. Most people who practice it cant teach it as a combat method which is what it is.

Your teacher has to tell you something like, "This goes first because..this goes second because"..then..once you get the coordination..you can practice it with an opponent/training partner at regular speed. The slow motion practice is just for learning and making sure you get the little moves right. Like people normally do when they're just learning something.

The problem with kung fu and traditional styles is that they don't get modernised. There are "kung fu" style fighters in the UFC and sanda/sanshou is effective but because kung fu is an umbrella term the amount that isn't modernised outweighs the ones that are. It's a shame too because a lot of kung fu styles have unique punches and kicks that if mixed up with a boxing/kickboxing style could be effective, hopefully over the years this changes.

[@andersonalves1254]

People confuse Inefficiency with originality. in ancient times, the martial arts were with weapons (swords, bow and arrows, crossbows, spears, faction daggers) and the last alternative was unarmed fighting. In ancient China, there was combat against the Mongols and they confronted the Chinese with the Mongolian fight called BOKH, this fight gave a new origin to an ancient Chinese martial art such as Shuai Jiao or Chiao Li. Zhou Dynasty, adopted this fight, even so, the combat was all armed. The modernization of martial arts in programmed fights (challenges) started very late and the strong evidence (records in old photos and videos) was in the 20th century. some styles of kung fu were already obsolete. With China weak, and some addicts to Opium (for me, the British were the first traffickers at that time) and with a selfish empress, who did not take care of her people, it was an easy bait for foreigners, even so, they kept the tradition however, without modernizing, that is, comparing a traditional fight with the times of today (anachronistic) would be unfair because Muay Thai is this Muay Thai, due to the westernization of boxing, Sanda is the same thing, so like Bjj (here in Brazil) the original Japanese jujutsu (Jigoro Kano/ Judo/ Mitsue Maeda/ ), is not the same thing as "Brazilian jiujitsu" (Fadda/ Gracie) which, from my point of view, is somewhat effective than the ORIGINAL! Kickboxing is original .. not (pure)???since it emerged between the clashes of Karate against Muay Thai. o "Is American Kickboxing Pure??? No. The mistakes of these kung fu masters are the stubbornness in admitting that they are old and also the new masters, who do not modernize (weight training, training in partnership with the partner or Sparring, You don't test yourself like Qi La La or False Monk Yi Long and the like) without getting rid of the traditional.

"I don't see the Taekwondo guy in any of these pictures, I don't know why" -> literally was staring right into the camera as he said that at 41:29 clear as day HAHAHA

[@larenzdaboss8508]

The Tai Chi guy knows that he is in trouble

[@RobWatt]

That's what I wonder. Does he know he's in trouble or does he think he's doing well.

[@D00M3R-SK8]

you been watching "mad lads"? ha ha. got a quick look at your recommended vids for a sec.

[@floyddominique3731]

Is that the same guy on those 3 vids? Great footage btw

[@FightCommentary]

Yeah, same Zhang Long.

[@Roseblindbags123]

ITF practioner here I've been training since I was 5 years old. Taekwondo in a street fight not so practical and that is mostly because of circumstances such as jeans where your fighting e.t.c but if your talking about a 1 on 1 MMA fight I would argue it is amazing,if you practiced for as long as I have kicks are very natural and way more powerful than ifst which leads to easy damage/knockout but if your looking for a very street effective self defense Judo is that way to go In my opinion.

[@joelsalminen5309]

Where I come from, Finland, anything that involves kicks is nearly useless, because most of the time everything is covered in snow and ice, so trying to throw kicks just ends up in slipping. Hard pass for Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Capoeira, all that stuff for street fighting over here. I’m not the right guy to comment on their effectiveness in MMA though, I only have a few street fights and some minor boxing (about 1 year now) and a long Karate career (a little over 8 years) on me. Zero actual MMA, but I do some sparring with dudes of different martial arts and styles with loose, MMA style rules. Still, even in loose rule sparring I always tend to prefer punching over kicking.

[@lostmarimo]

that bald kung fu guy looks like he would fall down if he threw an actual punch lol.

[@bono894]

The best style in the world is worthless without realistic sparring. You can take someone that trains in so-called "wing chun" or "aikido" that spars realistically and nine time out of ten he will beat a "muay thai" practitioner that only hits pads. A George Dillman black belt that spars regularly will beat a Rickson Gracie "black belt" who only drills techniques with no resistance. The only difference I see is in preference of tactics. Some fighters are wrestleboxers, others are kickboxjitsuers, some are sprawl and brawlers, some are kickboxletthemtakemedownandI'llgetbackuppers to name a few.

[@CONTRACTOR_SG3]

Tai chi uhhh the park thing ? IM DEAD 🤣

[@davidherron9151]

Wingchun can work in the street but knowing wingchun does not give you a huge advantage in the ring. But the biggest disadvantage is thinking you have an almost mystical edge because of your wingchun. Also if you wanted to see any significant victory it would be because a highly conditioned athlete is using it under completely open bloodsport conditions. And of course the other martial arts would be aloud to also strike the eyes groin and throat and knee joint as well . And most so called masters don't actually have the stomach for that . Nor does the audience or the MMA fighters lol

[@GuyChooo]

Correct, you gotta adjust and adapt your opponent's movement and know when to strike, fighting experience is also important.

[@mateaukalua4426]

When the boxer in Ip Man 2 laid out 15 kung fu martial artists. That was way too realistic 😂😂.

[@danielsilich8923]

Actually on ITF they do throw a lot of punches, just no hooks, super man punch is also very common.

[@moominpic]

there are hooks in the patterns

that said Chinese master in the first video in which he grappler fights is a bad character, he was choking and headbanging, being only a "sparring", after it was "finished" the jiu jutsu fighter had the manhood of not hurting- so, this video about the fights is still better.

In my TKD school, our sabumnim infisizes both punches and kicks. We train like we're kick boxing, but we also have a lot of traditional TKD tactics. I'm not surprised the TKD guy went for a good ol 1 2. It's pretty effective.

Yeah that guy would not have done well in a Gracie challenge because in a Gracie challenge there aren't really any time limits or rules you're just going down and getting choked out or arm barred point blank

[@sarivata]

As a tai chi guy. When I go to a gym asking to spar it is insulting for my opponent/partner to "let me work". I'm not asking to get my ass handed to me but I do expect a realistic test of my experience. Letting people like me leave with a higher level of perceived skill is as much the fault as the sparring partner as the tai chi people.

[@Hollylivengood]

Nice arm bar.
