Just started Taekwondo, and genuinely, these videos have been super crazy useful. Also love that they're not just some guy saying "do this" and then proceeding to do the most impossible 863° spinning jump hook kick into a 12 kicks in 3 seconds combo and then just casually saying "that's all you need!". Believe or not, actually explaining it (with a personality, no less) is waaaay more useful lmao

[@tkdguide]

Thanks, I’m glad these are helpful!

[@devincii8243]

[@iwata_sarakeino]

[@roanoazoros1fan358]

Gonna try this for a month to see wheather it works if it does I’ll do it every day at least twice a day for longer and more

[@tkdguide]

Let me know what happens!

[@roanoazoros1fan358]

@@tkdguide I will

[@roanoazoros1fan358]

I have gotta say almost two weeks and my flexible it’s twice as good I can balance better and last longer in positions which I never had flexiblity, strength or balance to do before so thanks

[@tkdguide]

@@roanoazoros1fan358 wonderful!! Great to know!

[@sureshsondho3241]

Hello Taekwondo sir

[@MisterKra]

Nearly every exercise is a static stretch. What not everyone knows: static stretches are more for gaining stretch. Dynamic ones more to prevent injuries.

[@stoopidhaters]

He has Dynamic Stretches as well

[@Time-fh5ym]

master, can you make a video for knock knee?

[@tkdguide]

I’m afraid I’m not familiar with that.

[@Time-fh5ym]

Knock knee is a condition in which the knees bend inward and touch or "knock" against one another, even when a person is standing with their ankles apart. This places excessive force on the outer side of the knee, which can cause pain and damage over time. Knock knee is usually bilateral - affecting both legs - but in some cases, it may only affect one knee.@@tkdguide

[@roanoazoros1fan358]

Imagine a beam bro I can’t even imagine my own body never mind the beam too busy watching the most amazing fight scene

[@MrIlagos]

I dont wanna be rude but what is that black belt with the red stripe???

[@tkdguide]

It’s a Tang Soo ado 5th degree black belt. It’s what my instructor uses because he came out of the Moo Duk Kwan school.

[@thapthoptheep2076]

All well and good but I want to learn TECHNIQUES! Can you do a video on how to do that one kick, you know the one - you start sort of like this, left leg here, a bit of a curly bit on this side, then to step forward with this leg and do a spin then a sort of roll with the hips, here - onto the leading leg before you load a kick from here and then do a jump and spin like...hang on I can do this...like... ...HYAH! Sort of - sort of landing like...like th-that with this leg here, the other leg just there, with a spinny hand thing and a YA!? You know the one I mean?

[@thapthoptheep2076]

You know what, I got it wrong, you do the roll with the hips THEN you do the spin, the YA at the end is actually a HYOH! I have much to learn!

[@liltony2448]

At 1:14 thats a called side split

[@demonwolf570]

I think that first stretch is called the calf stretch.

[@tkdguide]

Ah ha!

[@iwata_sarakeino]

no?

[@demonwolf570]

​@@iwata_sarakeinoMy bad, I thought that was the second stretch. The first one is called the "leg stretch" in my app. I got the video mixed up but just looked back over it.

[@danil810]

what kind of karate is this

[@kingpinda2]

The Korean kind.. also known as taekwondo.

[@samridha12332]

Front side lenthing

[@keisha2778]

Please more flexibility videos but can you do a follow along in real time please

[@tkdguide]

I have a follow along on my website www.tkdguide.com

[@miggysmallzzzz]

He low-key looks like a young Pedro Pascal.

[@raygsbrelcik5578]

Actually----I'm 70, and my Side Kicks are Neck high, and my Front Kicks are easily head high. Not bad for an old bugger! AND....They're pretty Quick.

[@mrtomkoz]

Whats strange is that i can do all os these pretty easily. But still cant get any decent hight for my side kick.

[@tkdguide]

With the side stretch, are you able to drop so that your thigh is pretty much parallel with the floor?

[@mrtomkoz]

@@tkdguide First, thank you very much for taking the time to get back to me. I wouldn't say parallel, but I can't get down in complete balance. The archer I can do right down to the floor with heal to the ground and no help from my hands. As you mention, I'm going to stay with it 3 times a week and see what happens. Thank you again for responding to me.

[@tkdguide]

@@mrtomkoz it’s a good question! I have a lot of other exercises you might find useful free on www.tkdguide.com

[@Coolit2683]

Toddlers shouldn't laugh at my flexibility because they are the only ones I can actually kick in the face. *** And no, I would never... excuse my terrible sense of humour ***

[@tkdguide]

In my experience it doesn’t matter how many toddlers you kick, they still laugh. I think it’s because they aren’t old enough to understand consequences.

[@PoopyBarfy]

A toddler (that I thought was my friend) just laughed at how low I kick yesterday😢

[@tkdguide]

Sorry…

[@raygsbrelcik5578]

I'm gonna' have to SUE you------I think I just BROKE something! ( Just kidding!).

[@danil810]
