Great video! Loved the editing 😂 Another interpretation of the snap kick and punch: Use the kick as a knee strike, like you did, but continue to use the kicking motion to either reap the inside or outside of the leg, in combination with the "punch" as perhaps more of a push/palm strike, to affect a ko-uchi-gari or ō-soto-gari

If I was your student I would be happy to help 😎 thanks a lot for the video, I have no doubt that these practice lessons will increase interest and competition in poomsae competitions

[@demonnite57]

Thanks

On my app, I never understood what High Block was good for since it seemed so impractical. Especially in walking stance but they never paired it up with anything. But I'm still only in the White belt section. Maybe that'll change in the other belts when they add more combos.

Any chance of you doing a Jump Spin Hook Tutorial in the near future? I’m sure your technique is A+ !

[@tkdguide]

I’m afraid right now my hip is rotten. In fact I have avoided those for years because of my hip injury 😢 Right now it’s extra rotten haha. Thanks for asking though.

Please dont stop making videos its entertaining and educational as a taekwando practionor to watch

You're also forgetting to mention when you do a high block you need to angle your arm at an angle not straight across your forehead because the chances are your arm can be broken. You want it at an angle so when the punch comes down is slides down your arm and away from your body you forget to say that it would be nice for you to mention that.

hey random question, do you do WTF Taekwondo or ITF Taekwondo

[@tkdguide]

I do the WTF style (now called WT because of humorous reasons)

[@Ransunejenereta]

@@tkdguide ohh alr thanks for answering (i think i can see why)

[@joelmoore8280]

Maybe one of your students can fill in as an assistant? You can throw in a free class for them as incentive?

[@tkdguide]

NO! Show me the money 💵 🤣

[@7dollarproductions]

So that’s how I use the block as as strike, but how do I use the block as a high block? Lol

He need some money first

[@tkdguide]

I got it and I bought a new one.

[@BrainBleed000]

Can you beat my dad tho?

[@tkdguide]

That depends, how much does he pay? Normally I charge $50 an hour to beat someone with a whip and $75 an hour for heavier objects like crowbars. Has your dad been into beatings for awhile?
