Self Defense Techniques of Poomsae: Low Block Boonhae

[@DarkPhoenixTSi]

Finally, a TKD Bunkai video!!

[@SachaRealmusic]

Please, more bunhae!!! It is so hard to find good ones on KZbin!

[@GLASSGHOSTHUNTERS]

With the low block or down block, I teach the beginning position as a cover or guarding position. The arm swinging down can be to block, deflect or parry the incoming strike. That would be possibility 1. Possibility 2 is that the down block or low block starts as a guard or cover where the low hand grabs the incoming strike and pulls while the swinging arm is the counter hit, using a hammering motion. I think it's fun to dissect Poomsae and enter the "what if" realm. Great video!

[@sebastiandegenhardt7229]

The interpretation of the preparatory movement as a block and punch combination is very cool! I will try this when we practise self defense next time.

[@alno3389]

The potential historical connection on something that I took for granted works.

[@rockymarcianobrasil317]

I think the same. Every tiny movement has been developed for a reason.

[@luispinsf7538]

Great stuff!

[@alpachinko9154]

Love it! Pleeeeease do more! Do you have aby experience with the ITF Tuls/Kata/Forms? It's always interesting to see what WTF Jeja think of 'em. Other TKD bunhae/Hae sul channels I think you'll like are Russ Martin TKD and Stuart Anslow/Rayner's lane taekwondo/Chang hon Tae Kwon do Hae Sul

first one to comment and nice videos

[@tkdguide]

Thanks, I’m sure this video will invite a lot of nasty comments so I appreciate the first one being positive 😂

[@pizzaranchify]

Helpful info!

[@ChrisPyChickenV]

I do like this taekwondo stuff 😂❤

[@mutomamuwawa1573]

This is great especially on poomsae teach us more

[@MaddogKernan]

Ive started to discover different boonhae techniques that make alot more sense than what i was 1st taught this is very interesting but takes alot of working out, and like yourself im having to train on a dummy so i can use hard strikes so my training partner doesnt moan im hitting to hard lol,

[@RohitDewoolkar]

Please do more

[@gokberkteber]

Awesome!!! Thank you so much

[@fazesnipe7518]

I love your videos, great job👍❤️

[@karatekid1252]

Keep it up, great content! Definitely something I've thought of many times. How about a demonstration for spear hand technique from poomsae 4?

[@iosianchad2180]

PLEASE do more.

[@tkdguide]

You got it boss.

[@abracadaniel8142]

I am liking this Tae Kwon Do stuff. It's been a great refresher and this was a nice, practical lesson. I hope you are able to find someone who is willing to be punched for $2/hr. The way you shoot these feels like short bumper clips that would play in-between cartoons on nickelodeon or something.

[@jvkanufan8115]

Yeah! More bunhae please! 👍 What do you think of low block also being useful for kick catches?

[@tkdguide]

You would have to show me, feel free to link a video.

[@kennethrogers1129]

Well- (I do kinda like your idea of movement skills) if you do the research you will find ancient Korean texts of Korean😮 martial arts, emperors guards, army documents etc, such as Muye Dobo Tongji, but especially due to WW2 there’s a lot of Japanese influence. I agree with your use of the guard and preparation of a simple low block to do more. That’s what black belts do. Don’t forget that a low block can also be a release from a wrist grab, basically a low forearm strike while withdrawing the arm being grabbed, same with high block, either can be used if both wrists grabbed, simply circle your arms one under the other then hit the block either up or down.

[@tkdguide]

I’m not sure why you engaged in the mind reading. I’ve read Sang H. Kim’s translation of Muye Dobo Tongji. Have you read it? I didn’t see anything in it resembling Taekwondo. The boxing posture drills look as far removed from Taekwondo as martial arts inscribed on the walls of ancient Egyptian ruins.

[@andrewc8606]

awesome!!

[@quanhong1793]

Hmm... Very nice

[@laeneel]

To be honest the biggest differences in Korean martial arts between Tkd and TSD is that TSD are very honest about where their base martial art originated from ...lol...actually a number of World Tkd practitioners have attended Iain Abernethy bunkai seminars which I've attended, the ITF guys I train with sometimes, well you'd think I'd invited the devil to Sunday mass when I suggested they attend a bunkai seminar which is ironic considering ITF patterns are way more compatible with practical applications (some of which are very similar to some karate kata) than the sportier WT forms...they just rabbited on about reaction force, sinewave "The General" said blah blah...🙄.... so congratulations for the video and actually saying "it"

[@tkdguide]

I went to one of Iain’s seminars 😬

[@laeneel]

@@tkdguide That's really great to hear, there something there for all martial artists.

[@DeguDawit-fe7kn]

❤ good 👍

[@Darryl_2023]

I noticed your hammer fist vid application at the beginning, can you repost that plz or explain? do u use ridge hand much in your self defence techniques? I would say the hand to the shoulder is also for additional reaction force from my training and according to General Choi.. what are your thoughts on his concepts and sine wave technique? enjoying your channel !

[@tkdguide]

I’m afraid I know very little about the ITF side of the art.

[@irbrathwaite]

@tkdguide you need a better "practice dummy". Might I suggest the nearest 1-10 gup...

[@javidaliyev310]

'try that on mnmn fightsr' lmao

[@demonnite57]

I like the practical application demonstration, but i think your TKD Buster needs an upgrade! He seems a bit flimsy

[@tkdguide]

😂 any recommendations?

[@demonnite57]

@tkdguide regarding artifical humans? Nah...would probably be way too expensive to get a decent one lol. But best bet would see if a student or fellow instructor would be willing to help

[@tkdguide]

@@demonnite57 I plan to do plenty of that but I do like the drama produced from actually getting to hit something. I mean I guess I could hit the students… they might hit back though 😂

[@demonnite57]

@@tkdguide which invites more drama! But honestly, your videos do make it fun to watch!

[@mezov7025]

taekwondo is so good but u have to add another style to get the best impact like taekwondo and some boxing moves

[@tkdguide]

Yeah, if you want to be more rounded that’s always a good idea, in the same way that if all you know is boxing it would be good to learn some kicks.
