TKD Fighter- Martin Chan
Muay Thai Fighter- CJ Thoms
Directed/Choreographed/Shot/Edited By Darren Holmquist

[@mouthyschannel2474]

Ah yes... The superb kicking style, the traditional moves, speed with precision, all shown in this work of Taekwondo. Hard hitting attacks, the use of everything as an advantage and the conditioning that can take it all. THAT is Muay Thai. Both arts shown in respect, both fighters showing there skills and most importantly: It's all done as equals. No art is better, none is worse, there is only mutual respect and appreciation.

[@diegocardona6503]

Underrated

[@hypnoticskull6342]

Thank God. I thought it was gonna be one of those comments that just say that Taekwonfo is useless.

[@AnandJohnSimon]

Every art has its own strengths and weaknesses.

[@bijaykarki4183]

We all are talking about MUAY THAI ,but we can't ignore TAEKWONDO

[@dardrex777]

Everyone arguing about which style is better on the comments... COMPLETELY lost the entire point of the video. Just saying. :P

[@dardrex777]

+Sean Boss Exactly!!!! :)

[@sarakayeenlim]

Yeah, totally agree! its not fair to compare which style is better : taekwondo or muay thai because they have very different styles of fighting

[@dardrex777]

Last I checked "thugs" don't kick.

[@blockmasterscott]

Very nice. I love how the TKD fighter used techniques from his forms!

[@sunnyepham8899]

I'm a tae- kwondo player but I don't agree with this video because every martial arts is good but winning or losing is depend on their stamina, tricks,and wills etc.... So please don't compare any martial each other.

in my opinion both fighting styles are great but I would choose muay thai

[@eliqk3qt2rg5v]

same but I'd add taekwondo kicks for more kicks(the ones that work that is) in addition to muay Thai style kicks

[@onaldybatista4120]

Was a good fight

[@Dragonflyjones67]

Style's!? it all depends on the practionier. There's no such thing as the best style. Most people chooses a art that doesn't even suit them. In other words, they choose a art that doesn't address their (mental) physical attributes. They choose it because "word of mouth" said so! 1 style is better than the other!? That stereotype been going on for year's.

I really like how this highlights Taekwondo’s advantages and disadvantages but still pays respect to both martial arts. I like how it’s shown that the Taekwondo fighter had issues with taking hits, punches, leg grabs and leg kicks. But it also highlights that the spin kicks Taekwondo may not work all the time but when executed beautifully it can catch an opponent off guard and leave a devastating effect.

[@dardrex777]

@Taekwondo invented 1930 ITF style invented in 1959 in a fight with no rules im sure one of the boxing types from sea (thai,myanmar, camodia et) would win. most martial arts today incorporate muay moves

[@gmeme9252]

@Taekwondo invented 1930 ITF style invented in 1959 im not just talking muay thai, im talking the killer boxing, muay thai is just a more friendly version of the originial muay boran. If you look at lethwei there are a bunch of moves there that are not necesarily used in modern muay thai. sure neck shots can hit but im sure any competant fighter would not allow a neck strike, even muay thai in a street fight would beat tkd like there are plenty of moves to counter. plus if a tkd fighter gets in a clinch with a muay thai they would just die. Look at k1 they had to change it because a muay thai fighter compeltely dominated the tournament with knees through clinches. its hard to do a take down when you are forced into a clinch.

[@gmeme9252]

Taekwondo invented 1930 ITF style invented in 1959 ok? Sure you can break knees but must boran a common technique is elbow striking the thighs and head... also I was not talking about Muay Thai but even then why is tkd not used more in kickboxing?? Even Muay Thai is far more effective in the ring.

[@michelleg7]

@Taekwondo invented 1930 ITF style invented in 1959 oh please tkd has lost to Thai fighters in the ring. Plenty of videos on it. Muay Thai is a martial art that teaches close contact with an opponent. A spinning back kick ain't going to do shit if you don't execute it correctly and that's a big if. Muay Thai fighters have shins like rocks! One kick to the thigh could fracture a leg. Another is an elbow strike to the face can knock someone out!

[@5DiceProductions000]

Awesome fight scene guys! Loved the choreography and the clash of the two styles. I feel like your fight scenes make the fighters look exhausted/spent by the end of the fight to show how brutal those powerful moves that land can be. I love that aspect. I am excited for more stuff from you guys.

[@DungFerrari]

I love Taekwondo 🥋🥰

[@hellvsheaven89]

In a real fight, none is superior to the other. Its all about the person whose using it. For example, in a street fight, karate is very deadly but in the ring, muay thai is more affected. Thats y it needs to be mix up and the person needs to master it. If youre a muay thai fighter, u just cant rely on elbows and knees too much. U have to know when to use them and its very affected but those are short range and one punch from ur opponent from a farther distance can end it. Its all about hit and dont get hit.

[@Bendesho]

Bruce Irving vs Hwoarang. Well done! You guys are really good.

[@tahiragayev4172]

yess- very cool

[@jenibstry9092]

I kinda like their respect 😍

[@harryraymonddias4290]

I've been seeing that almost everyone saying that TKD is not "effective" blah blah blah...But I really respect them who support only personal preference in martial arts.Even though people may say it was choreographed to make TKD black belt win I support it because this can show the TKD fighter how to use skill and do not be afraid or consider that their martial arts (TKD,Karate or anything) is weak. People consider a martial art to be weak only when artists do not implement or learn them properly mainly due to competiton restrictions. Otherwise Karate as well as Taekwondo can be deadly if properly used.

except for if it is fighter vs fighter..Then yes it does come down to style. And if you took the same guy and made a clone. One clone is Muay Thai and the other clone is Taekwondo. Then the thai boxer will win every time. Sorry . but it is the simple truth.

@@hmongxiong87 which part of "it's all about the fighter" you didn't understood?

[@hypnoticskull6342]

I love how's there's more than just kicks from Taekwondo. Like Karate, it has multiple moves in it's forms that can be transfered into a fight

[@teaserguy]

In Muay Thai, knee kicks are really dangerous

[@UmPochitoMuitoLouco]

Finally bro... FINALLY! I found a video that mentions the punch art of TKD!!! I really want to train some Boxing or Muay Thai for mix fr. But, unfortunently i can't... And the Taekwondo guy have good skills! And of course, same thing to the Muay Thai fighter.

[@kylewilson2819]

That's why I lived taekwondo when I took it. it allows you to use it whole body as a shield, as well as a weapon. my master once said "You will never defeat an attacker if you cannot block his strikes. Even if your blows can crush mountains." Our bodies become weapons. We strike before we can even think of a plan. Then, as we grow in knowledge and experience, we learn to do both. Those who have mastered this become our greatest warriors. Great video.

[@ijrokscarflame3444]

Kyle Wilson Um if your moves can crush mountains then there is no need to block bud. The human body cannot handle that much psi we would disintegrate.

[@ijrokscarflame3444]

Kyle Wilson What I am saying is that if your blows are unbelievably powerful and you are built like a tank, you have no need to worry about losing especially if you are quick as well at attacking.

Some people say that some martial arts are better than other, I say why limit yourself to learning only one martial art. It's not the martial art, it's the martial artist.

[@zschambill]

One thing I noticed about the muay thai fighter, when you grab the back of the head to knee the opponent, you grab the BACK OF THE HEAD, NOT NECK, so to get better control

[@dardrex777]

张朔 In choreography you modify moves to look better for camera... that "plum" grab is too close for the camera to see clearly and covers the face making it bad blocking for the camera. Stylists need to realize fighting for camera and fight training are separate animals.

[@zschambill]

***** make sense

[@carllubrin8518]

We grab the back of the head and tighten our elbows together clinching both the ears so it's harder for them to move and easy to control the other person

[@dardrex777]

Martial artists need to understand fight choreography and martial arts ARE NOT THE SAME. You move more open to help the camera see what you are doing as opposed to the way you are trained. I get very tired of repeating this in the comments because practitioners love to nit pick.

[@hmongxiong87]

+Darren Holmquist fight choreographers need to understand that if they're going to do a fight scene, they need to do it correctly. One would not show a heavy weight wrestler doing somersaults kicks for the "sake" of camera angle. Get your facts straight then there will be no criticism from practitioners.
