Ninh explains the Rules of Takewondo. These are the new 2017 rules as outlined by World Taekwondo. No more Kyong-Go warnings, changes to the scoring - and overall changes to the rules to make the sport more attack minded and less emphasis on using the rules to defend yourself. Hope this helps?

[@NinhLyUK]

Ummm .... kzbin.info/www/bejne/inTYZYZsoNqJeac&lc Olympic Boxing has abolished the point scoring and has reverted to the same scoring as professional boxing. Might want to check out the rest of my videos before YOU ASK FOR SHIT IN CAPITAL LETTERS!

[@toddhawk4670]

"You cannot lift the leg and put it down without attacking..." What? That's absurd. If someone could please explain the purpose of such a rule, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[@NinhLyUK]

It is absurd! They implemented it so that fighters wouldn't use their leg as a giant block for the opponent to navigate. It got to the point where both fighters were just hopping on one leg trying to just bait each other to attack. So they made it illegal to do so. Personally I think they mangled the rules to the point whereby it's not a sport anymore. But that's just me.

[@Kylora2112]

@@NinhLyUK Nah, it gets REALLY frustrating when you get an opponent bouncing on one foot. It made for bad competition AND bad for spectators.

[@adichowdhuri]

You could just suspend you leg in the air also using it as a barrier to prevent your opponent from closing it. I used this obsessively before this rule was introduced 😂

[@eechu2199]

@@adichowdhuri And it still goes on, nobody says a thing :'DD

[@scarffoxandfriends9401]

@@Kylora2112 A better rule would be a limit on how long you can keep your leg up and/or a set amount of time you can do so before getting a penalty. Making it one and done just unbalances the sport the other way.

[@NinhLyUK]

Thanks. You might not have known about the 2017 rules changes for Taekwondo, which removes the kyong-go warning, makes scoring simpler to understand, and more importantly, change the game play rules so that fighters are not excessively defensive with their legs ... it's now punishable with a penalty.

[@hero3551]

*Rule Change* = You can push your opponent now

[@corbantaylor7636]

hero3551 only if you follow it up with an attack

[@NinhLyUK]

The only instance where pushing is allowed is if both fighters look like they're about to clinch and a push is followed immediately with an attack. General pushing is not allowed and will be punished with a Gam Jeom.

[@uuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

[@lewisbrerernumber1hater181]

things might’ve changed in modern taekwondo sparring so it’s like foot fencing now instead of having to have power and technique

[@oz2037]

This is why I quit Taekwondo around these years. It's a great martial art to learn just not by itself. The rules have completely changed the sport and I no longer recognize it.

[@NinhLyUK]

That pretty much makes two of us.

[@blackbirdgaming8147]

Agree, it’s a great martial art to learn because it’s a building block for many other martial arts. If your kicks and punches are good, then you’ll already be ahead of everyone else in another martial art. I know from experience. I got to 1st Dan in TKD and then went to Krav Maga. Knew most of the material already and it helped a ton, since the kicks were very similar.

[@XbenjaminXL3]

I know in the beggining you said its not meant for itf but i might switch to wtf soon and was wondering how hard you can punch to the body and the head (not the face) and how come they dont allow flinching? ie lifting and front leg and stomping back on the ground, ive found this effective during competition sparring as you could follow up if they react

[@NinhLyUK]

You can punch as hard as you like to the body, but not the face. The reason why they changed the rule on what you call 'flinching' is that too many people were just using it to deliberately keep opponents away and not attacking. Made for some very boring fights. Steven Lopez of the USA was the first to do this, winning gold after gold by playing keep away and then everyone started doing it, hence why they recently outlawed it.

[@adamhercog4729]

The ITF logo you provided in the beginning of your video does not belong to the ITF that is recognised by the Olympic committee as a true representative of the ITF style Taekwondo. (There are a few ITFs claming to be the "true/real" ITF due to disputes between grandmasters regarding the question who among them should have inherited gen.

Does the point system encourages the player to put their hands down? I find this absurd bc (coming from kyokushin) I was always taught to keep your hands up (or atleast keep them high enough so that you can block incase). So I found it really weird why their hands are never up. Just asking. To explain: kyokushin point system doesn’t really consider any hits other than to the head (unless its a really effective hit) Also, if I were to just punch the torso (like rapidly) will I get punished? Just curious bc someone told me so.

3:01; I assume such misconduct includes kicking the referee into the scoreboard? (For those that don't get it, it's a reference to an Asian-exclusive SNES game called "Taekwon-Do", which uses actual Taekwondo rules {circa 1994}, except for the final battle, where the boss kicks the referee into the scoreboard and it's treated more like a typical fighting game battle.)

[@barsomians]

Can you talk about ITF rules in other video?

[@NinhLyUK]

I'll consider it.

[@charlessmith263]

So basically, taekwondo's "gibon kyorugi' fights are not for the shy person who fights in such matches. Excessive stalling while fighting in TKD matches can be perceived by the ref as not showing a fighting spirit and can lead to the one stalling to get a "gam jeon". Several "gam jeon" red-flags on you earns you a disqualfication, and the non-offending fighter will win by default. So especially in these taekwondo fights, avoid: 1. Backing away too much from the aggressor without counterattacking. 2. Excessive faking without obvious attempts to attack the opponent after faking. 3. Excessively holding back your punches within range of punching reach of the opponent - that is definitely stalling, and it is not allowed.

[@NinhLyUK]

In short: yes. However, I noticed that World Taekwondo are forever changing the parameters of scoring. As a black belt in this sport, I think they've mangled it beyond recognition.
