ITF WCH2017 IRELAND - Sparring Team Senior Male

[@StevieSouthOfficial]

Ireland really dominated in every facet here

[@WOLF7356]

15:05 That was the slowest kick I've ever seen land on someone. What was going through both of their heads??

[@nefariousloser]

Ross is a different fighter. It was a bad mistake tbh but they are tired

[@matthewradabaugh1635]

He likely expected a low kick, and once you commit to a block, it’s really hard to correct yourself.

Nossa muito louco ! Gostei muito! Ainda mais pra mim que sou aixa vermelha de tkd itf ! Shou

[@patrickorourke1774]

The Center Referee is from Holland, one of our best, which is why he was picked for the center ring.

[@Heigxion]

He's very good indeed. The only thing it concerns me is that he doesn't warn about low kicks. Maybe you think is not a big deal, but it's actually to protect the competitors, and of course it's an illegal action. Apart from that, he's currently among the best of the world.

[@nefariousloser]

Missed going to the Dutch opens :( hopefully we’ll be back soon 🇮🇪

[@johngmcnulty]

Can you please put up the junior male team sparring Ireland v Russia

[@SubToUnicorn]

i've been following these since the world championships themselves, but i'm still not sure that i get the point system... are there only 4 points going at any given time? why can they sometimes go from 0-2 straight to 1-1? sorry for my absolute cluelessness 😅

[@dakotatkd]

Kali Herbert No the score you’re seeing means how many judges are in favour of that team, so if it shows 3 Red 1 Blue, that means 3 judges have red with more points than blue. The point system is 1 point for punches to the head or body, 2 points for kicks to the body, and 3 points for kicks to the head.

[@SubToUnicorn]

Dakota TKD that makes a lot more sense, thank you!!

[@bjrnarblaalid5426]

In addition, the overall score after each fight is how many judges they managed to win for each bout. Normally, all 5 bout's/rounds have to be fought, which is a change from the 'old' system, which was more of a best-of-5, were team's could win 3-0, not having to do the last two fights etc. In the old system, if after 2-2 it ended in a draw in fight 5, the two teams would select a fighter to do a 'ace match' to determine the winner

[@juanx7492]

Nationality of the referee?

[@juanx7492]

Shehryar Khan Thanks! Some decisions from him were not just. Bad.

[@Heigxion]

He's actually Dutch

[@anthonymeynet-lecoachbienv6544]

[@grandmastertippett4548]

[@estebanfernandez2321]

[@nefariousloser]

[@hernanlopezherrera9850]

Tendrian que pagarles a los competidores cuando llegan a un punto de profesional ppor que un deporte tan hermozo es amateur ni da practicarlo ya a las personas que salvaria trabajar de esto

[@jal8408]

Es una arte marcial, no un deporte, si quieres un deporte cámbiate a WTF
