Olympic Taekwondo best of

[@rasdwalive]

Im glad you like our sport and respect it ! Many people are trashtalking about Taekwondo.

[@chocolatecustard2010]

The music before the last one was the best to go with the clip. It made the scenes really great.

[@halofan5005]

Actually they are relaxing their bodies. Also they are at such a high level that the reaction time of these people is just amazing.

[@555hansy]

its amazing how martial arts started from becoming a killing art to an olympic sport :)

[@tirthyatri]

Awesome kicks.. nice selection of fight scenes...

[@marshallsensu6756]

I love Taekwondo,for ever.....

[@JosephH206]

During the years of training, u can perfectly train flexibility ;) i do taekwondo since 2001 ;)

[@EdreesAlmansoori]

when I see this I feel excited!

[@BLAHBLAHBLAH0726]

for all the TaeKwonDo haters...this type of TKD is OLYMPIC STYLE, the traditional style is completely different, it teaches u way more than u can imagine. how do i know? cause i take traditional style TKd. its difficult, u dont just kick, u punch, throw, takedown, everything. so please, know ur facts about TKD before u speak.

[@Creed952]

i make taekwondo 6year this is good sport !! I LOVE YOU :)))

[@TheArtimi]

I don't see why people would. It's a rather difficult, yet very artistic sport, which is why I prefer it over others.

[@akhanian]

they're sooooooo good.

[@Rockenster15]

Awesome! Love this video! xD

[@misspanjab]

Taekwondo is mainly about kicking, all types of kicks. It is a great martial art. Everyone can punch, but not everyone can kick properly, I'm not talking about kicking a football here. Very good martial art.

[@MightyAxl23]

for those who never been in taekwondo this guys are kicking freaking hard depends where they kick you EX: arm they can break it with a single blow

[@gregorysayegh8016]

I would avoid blocking with the foearm it might snap- id try to use foot work to move out of it

[@damutai]

i agree i practice taekwondo since i was 14 i am 25 and i was always thought to kip my guard up unless i am confident that i can land the kick

[@RayrayEatsCrayons]

axe kicks to the face always gets to me

[@queenshiva]

Why do I always hear this soundtrack in TKD youtube vids? lol xD

[@TheSpeedpass]

Theyd better get a doctor for the knocked out dude.. One nasty kick :P Kinda makes me wanna go do teakwondo.. But i guess its a lot of work^^

[@omkarkokane12]

i m plyin taekwondo from nursery and went for national more than 5 time i love this game more than anybody

[@werever201]

el mejor video de taekwondo ke eh visto

[@theohiograssmen]

lol. notice the most important word in your post "probably"... i work on my footwork more than anything else, except maybe flexibility. i train 5 days a week, sometimes 6 if im not too sore. if youre looking for someone who is "too slow" then you are talking to the wrong person. and when i start competing soon, i will post the videos of all the tournaments so you can see for yourself=) the ladder to the olympics is a long process, but i know im fast enough and good enough.

[@marcusvisionstudio]

TKD is about friendship and respect

[@Noodlehustle]

well yeah , everyone his sport , i love taekwondo , just cuz its part of my culture , and i love footwork ^^

[@umarfaruque]

@cchamp999 hi there.. in tkd u generally don't do knee ups to block... that's not allowed in contact sparring. i did tkd for seven years and one thing i can tell u is that what matters in tkd is utmost speed and precision... the power automatically comes from the rigorous training. Also in tkd u generally do not block.. cos, for every attack u generally have a counter-attack.. so u r actually supposed to attack and counter-attack in contact sparring (theoretically speaking)... amazing vid btw..

[@nickgermano1512]

Olympic TKD uses mostly kicks, traditional taekwondo is based off of multiple martial arts from Korea (Kwonpup, tayek yon, kwondao (plus about ten others)) plus influences from Karate, Judo, and Kung fu, the Koreans unified all arts under TKD, WTF style (Olympic) is sport oriented where traditional ITF is combat (it uses more punches)

[@zenophy]

Powerful highkick, Critical damage on head & neck...

[@AybekM]

used to, moved countries and became lazy to continue when i was red belt =)

[@akariauma]

This style of tkd reminds of fight pilots in a dog fight. Meaning that who ever can hold the circle the longest will win the dog fight and get the kill. Meaning that the rapid kicks are used to set up a much stronger and powerfully attack for the ko or the win

[@TheGetyourassup]

thank you for correcting me see , i practice also martial arts but not tkd and all i see are those 360 ° kicks etc and that's show though lot's of respect for tkd self defense because it's DEFENSE and not show :)

[@mycomind]

Korean martial arts are the most brutal kick-ass fighting arts!

[@TechNep]

This kind of taekwondo is gone forever

[@yaori19]

great, im inspired XD

[@AybekM]

For the Teakwondo haters this is important notice: Even though the fighters are wearing helmets the power of the kicks have enough force to not just knock out an enemy with a helmet, but it can also permenately damage the enemy, the worst case is death. So that means the safety gear is not for fashion but for the worst case of scenerio. Thank you for understanding . =D

[@bibikaki1]

yes they do

[@f2x368]

So good les minettes!

[@ssjanime250]

btw tkd is also full contact, ppl dont seem to realize that.

[@Aurumk1]

I really wish there was Olympic karate.

[@nAngelo99]

kinda old though, but still the best

[@maximums8]

What u think would be best My sport is teakwondo Atm... would it be better to take ''Teakwondo and Karate'' or will i mix thoose ?

[@gammaraytube]

Back-spinning hook kick @ 5:08 in the video. For those of you who don't know TKD, it doesn't look like much, but remember Billy Jack (the movie) that's the kick -- TKO

[@MrGuitaristMatt]

All hail the youtube national anthem.

[@mtyd05]

This must be the weirdest version of under pressure I have ever heard

[@muntoonxt]

I'm cheering for the guy in red.

[@sum41foreverown]

it depends on what kind of block's, if you just rise your arm to block straight on you have a good chance of breaking it but if you where to deflect the kicks you wouldnt break it becuse the kick cant transfer the power as well as other wise but i see your point since they are far harder to use and if you get it wrong you will break your fingers, especialy against round houses and since roundhouses are one of the moost used kicks there is realy no point tryingcus it willDistractYouAndDoYouNoGood

[@arzanipour]

Are there any forms or branches of Taekwondo that emphasize on punching?

[@MRoo47]

very awesome

[@BacheKhala]

nice vidz

[@CHmLgN]

That first dude shouldn't have even gotten up that morning.

[@mthai66]

Sounds like the theme to Grandizer to me.

[@maxescorpiocort]

el taekwondo es el mejor deporte que hay en el mundo!!! y tambien es la mejor harte marcial que existe!!! viva el taekwondo

[@AybekM]

true =D. But people do fight differently that is why there is Kick-boxing, i believe that its a mix of both sports =D... or not....

[@Tachyon836]

No its actually quite true.. I've seen a guy get a mild concussion and a sprained ankle during a match.

[@KJEWLE]

@NeoErtation who is the fighter that your coach is fighting ?

[@ASpriteBottle]

Woooooooo great song

[@gregorysayegh8016]

@AybekM is the cookiwon still in north or south norea

[@charliegarcia967]

Whats the name of the song? I love it

[@canispeaktodave]

Awesome! But can someone tell me why none of them even tried to block with their hands? I'm sure a lot of those could have been reversed with a good block and quick jab or am I too old fashioned?

[@ssjanime250]

that's exactly what im saying... if a grappler grabs you; kiss your life goodbye.

[@TheElectricalDonkey]

@UnarmedP0wer Lol ! can you get your legs that high that fast?

[@Kryptik316]

@nisbahmumtaz909 what song do you suggest instead just curious?

[@aramo81]

Bushido & Sahira''Outro'' is the second tracks name

[@CenturionKiller14]

ok two questions how thin are the uniforms and do they get sacked all the time ? lol

[@cinthia250998]

Awesome :D

[@jdogg1808]

The clips are very nice But i ve Made the experience that itf taekwondo is more effectiv than wtf taekwondo. Thats why I am doing itf taekwondo ;) by the way itf is the older and the original Stil :)

[@hotshot10106]

man!!! i bet i could win if i had a gun tho! haha

[@rkulla]

Well, if most people -- as you admitted -- don't teach it that way, then my original question still stands. It's really irrelevant that it 'used' to be a certain way.

[@Emanuelijus]

why you change the song???clip is amazing,but song....put the old song

[@lk2230]

What song is this? (i.e. track name and artist, please)

[@gregorysayegh8016]

is there going to be another opympic taekwondo or has been oplypics already decided that there will be no more, also what about state champanships are they still having. if so where is the trying to be held. for thank you.

[@shuriken86]

WHATS THE NAME OF THE SECOND SONG!!??

[@Firedrakul2]

i assure a taekwondo martial artist can defeat easily a mma one, its the fast combo kick what make it so dangerous!

[@Black_Goreinu]

they should use more skills because of the protective gear, the don't fear a kick to the chest and just go on kicking each other until someone losses his balance. check out some itf fights, they are more entertaining.

[@RezaWontShuffle]

As far as I know a headkick in WTF gives you 3 points but you are not allowed to attack your opponents head with your hands

[@MrDpendleton04]

In sport Taekwondo yes. But in self defense taekwondo you use your hands and feet.

[@AybekM]

yup!

[@Thermagicalwonders]

What happened to the rest of the music?

[@ssjanime250]

k buddy it isnt as easy as it looks. you'll probably be way too slow to catch them and too slow to move out of the way. these are olympians the best of the best dont criticize.

[@duongphan6233]

so cool

[@camarada911]

so if you block you never lose?

[@dereinelibanese]

no not forever there is al little hope here

[@hede777]

I remember the KO u see here in 3.50 and i remember the cameras zoomed out and zoomed out again and again cause it was a serious KO. Anyone knows who were fighting??

[@langelfm]

name of the ending song please?

[@BunCinema]

What music is that?

[@michaelcky90]

and wearing gear is minimize the risk of causing severe injuries. :)

[@211kyuubi]

@hede777 that knockout was from player in Egypt named Tamer bayouni i doont know exactly who was the other guy but im guessing he was nigeria

[@Element27]

Exactly IF you were armless lol

[@maxescorpiocort]

como se llama la cancion?

[@danHzP]

why is tkd only about kicks?

[@1kofe1n]

how do this music is named?

[@sethfan1000000]

How so? Punching is awesome

[@Munards]

@nisbahmumtaz909 when youtube takes sound outa ur vids.. u gotta pick between a list and this song is on it... ud no if it happened to u

[@shadowheliantus]

wht happened to "keep your guard up"?

[@MultiExgirlfriend]

So that's how you fight with no arms

[@ZaCkOX900]

Are they not allowed to use their hands?

[@24footballboy24]

can anyone tell me how the scoring is for tkd

[@XTREMEkid3601]

theres a big difference between traditional tkd and the competive tkd... competitie tkd is more like a sport, while the traditional tkd is more of a "art"

[@eadn1214]

Qué chévere :)

[@Soepargo]

not bad actually
