Remember Tekken 3 with Hwowrang doing his poomse for ITF? I like how Tekken actually has legit martial arts moves.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

He was my best character! 🤪

[@stormcrow1970]

The motion-capture by Hwoarang was done by an ITF practitioner named Hwang Su-il, who is now a seventh dan (IIRC). BTW, ITF patterns are called tul, not poomse.

[@Samperor]

@@stormcrow1970 Thank you. I wonder why they have a different name for it.

[@stormcrow1970]

@@Samperor I've always wondered why the WT has a difference name for tul :-D Originally, the term "hyung" was used which is basically a translation of kata (and at that point many Kwans were still practicing older Japanese forms). Between 1965 and 1972 Gen. Choi decided to use the term tul (틀) to describe the pattern set he had developed. While tul can be translated as "form" it's perhaps more accurate to translate it as "pattern" which Gen. Choi thought was a more accurate description of what was actually being done when one performs a tul. As far as I am aware tul has no hanja, only hangul, denoting it's a native Korean term not a borrowed Chinese or Japanese term.

[@elliott20]

I feel like that level of attention to detail is partially why Tekken feels so visceral in terms of it's actually gameplay. Visually speaking, every hit feels real. (Even if kazuya has to break his spine to do his hellsweep)

[@SidorovichJr]

it took a Polish girl to finally fight real traditional japanese karate in Tekken

[@figraa]

Finally. After years of playing Tekken, the "real" Shotokan Karate is practiced at Tekken. Mishima Kazuya was the first one but his moves still kinda mixed with fictional fighting styles

[@richardsonrichly8456]

Isn't that the basis of the game? Using real martial arts a base and then make some cool stuff around it

This was awesome to watch, just goes to show the developers took the time to articulate each fighting system for their characters.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

It definitely seems so

[@tjl4688]

Lidia is very much like Tekken 3 Hwoarang. Back in T3, they built a completely new moveset to distinguish the ITF style of Taekwon-Do from Baek. Similarly Lidia's Karate is night and day compared to the Mishimas.

[@steviegreenthumb4720]

For a video game with death robots, literal devils and giant fighting bears it's INSANELY realistic lmfao

[@deershore1943]

Jesse sensei fun fact about her fighting style is the same as Kazuya mishima. Both is shotokan practitioner. But fact about her is she is *Polish* Karate style. So she may a bit different than Kazuya does. Another fact: Kazuya mishima is the first main character in the Tekken series.

I've always had an appreciation and love of karate since studying Kempo-Goju as a kid and this video does an amazing job showing a bit of the history behind the styles that we know today. And for some reason I knew she was doing Shotokan because in a small way, her movements remind me a bit of Ryu and company (Ken, Sean, Akuma, Gouken) who also practice Shotokan (minus all the Hadoukens and other flashy moves). Totally subscribing to your channel as I have a deep appreciation for the martial arts and am a great fan of fighting styles. :)
