If you can make a living pursuing your passion you are indeed blessed.

Powerfully performed by this practitioner . Very powerful kicks and hand techniques . Has a very good instructor to produce this powerful Hyung.

The only martial art that teaches correct (best, most effective) execution of a sidekick is INTERNATIONAL TaeKwonDo and Muay Thai/Kickboxing..... Execution of highest power/impact & speed from a strike is all about MOMENTUM..... Muay Thai / Kickboxing / Boxing (and in some cases ITF, International TKD, not WTF, World Taekwondo, the pussified version of real TKD) is the only who practices this. Chambering a kick, lifting your knee up, before kicking is the most stupid thing ever, you totally destroy your momentum/power by doing this when you go in full force & really stepping into it. SOME chamber should happen, but not like this entirely, for a sidekick you want no wasted momentum, you want your foot to go as in a straight trajectory to the target as possible with all your weight/force..... This why Martial Arts (Tang Soo Do, TKD, Karate, Kung Fu) is just a martial art, fun to do, cool for your cardio, mentality etc etc etc..... its cool for MOVIES aswell.... but dont ever think that everything your martial art teaches is the most effective in the real world when defending or attacking. If you are after whats ACTUALLY effective in the real world dont look anywhere else except Muay Thai/Kickboxing/Boxing (for striking) and then BJJ/Wrestling (for ground game/grappling).

Would love to hear your thoughts on World taekwondo federation tkd and the Tae guk forms

Looks amazing. Love the crisp pop and power

Looks good, sharp performance. Also you don't expect Tang Soo Do guys to have really good hand techniques but this one does for sure.

7:00 Chuck Norris created "American Tang Soo Do" in late 1965/early 1966. At that time Japanese stylists were the dominant fighters in the tournament circuit and Chuck got his arse handed to him for the first few years of his career. Chuck began training under Fumio Demura, Tsutomu Oshima and Hidetake Nishiyama to improve his hands and learn the hand and foot combination shotokan was known for. He also added judo (his first style) to his system. In the 1970s he trained in hapkido and budo jujutsu. Sometime in the 1980s, Chuck dropped the American Tang Soo Do name. In 1990, after adding Brazilian jiu-jitsu to his system he renamed it "Chun Kuk Do". That name stuck until 2015, when he renamed the art (for a third time) to the "Chuck Norris System". All the top Tang Soo Do fighters of the 1960s and 70s came from Norris' American Tang Soo Do system...Pat Johnson, Bob Wall, John Natividad, Darnell Garcia, Harold Gross, Howard Jackson, Bob Burbidge, Bob Alegria, Ralph Alegria, Ron Pohnel, Chip Wright, etc. There are still people who still use the American Tang Soo Do name. These are people who broke away from Chuck over the decades for various reasons. Some before the name change(s) in 1990. Some after who legally couldn't use the later names because both were trademarked and didn't want to get sued. 9:00 Hwang Kee's training history is more like sketchy than hazy. He "learned" taekkyon by watching a master from afar, back during a time when Korea was under Japanese occupation and prohibited the practice of Korean arts... Not sure why someone would risk practicing something prohibited anywhere he would be seen. If a kid can see you doing it, then surely a Japanese sympathizer or a soldier can also see you. Every Moo Duk Kwan website out there claims that he was considered a "prodigy", but never name's names. Personally, I do believe that Lee was Hwang's teacher albeit for a brief time. If you look at those videos from the 1950s, that looks like straight up shotokan. There's only so much you can learn from a book, someone's gotta fill in the gaps for you. If you look at the Chung Do Kwan's versions of the Pyong-an forms (those that still teach them), many of the added moves that differentiate them from the Japanese/Okinawan counterparts are found in the Moo Duk Kwan's versions. Something that a lot of people don't mention is Rohai. Tang Soo Do's version is based off of Matsumura no Rohai, not Mekyo, which is shotokan's version. The Matsumura version would not have been found in those books (most likely Funakoshi's) Hwang claims he learned from. So, in addition to Lee, Hwang at some point studied under or was affiliated with either a shito-ryu (most likely) or shorin-ryu practitioner. Ki Whang Kim, who was the Moo Duk Kwan's U.S. representative was actually a shudokan stylist. I think that this Mr. Yang (if he really existed) wasn't Hwang's only teacher. Regardless of how one feels about the legitimacy of Hwang's background, there's no doubt if you are a Tang Soo Do stylist, he is owed some gratitude for breaking away during the unification. Otherwise, we'd be calling ourselves taekwondo and doing that Olympic style footsie they do now a days,

Thank you for your explanation. Greetings from Bolivia.

Great video. I appreciate the straight forwardness and sincerity. I have a somewhat similar martial arts journey to owning a school myself. Keep on the path sir. 🥋 ~ M. Norton

Good video Sir. I look forward to seeing more. 🥋

I was an aspiring archeologist as a kid too 😂 I ended up being a barrister but my dream now, as young adult, is opening a karate club to teach and share Koryu Uchinadi and everything related to old style japanese and chinese martial arts culture and history.

I also teach at a small school I watched ur videos and I like ur style and how u teach u do different things than my school how do I go about getting in touch do u have face book

Hey sir would u like to train someone time

I won a point with this one at the second battle of Europe at enschede yesterday

Much better Sir, I agree to stop chambering knees higher than waist level, which then prevents kicking the side-kick higher. But, again, there is a disregard to kicking siede kick following the rear leg stepping forward of the front legkosa dachi, or behind the front leg, kake dachi. In the first case a modified mawashi geri is to be ended up as a yoko-keri ke-komi, and if stepping behind the front leg an almost real, ushiro-geri -close yoko geri ke kome is to be performed. Best regards. Physiology of waist strtucture always preferes inward or outward angles.Never to the sides straightly. Just comment beetter what you are performing well. Paul.68, retired instructor.

Well, meant ideas with poor arguments. Talking about forms with no dierect connetction to fighting is good for Taichi or so. With over three decades on the tatami, martial arts are have to be taught with the purpose of fighting or at least for sport competitions. Rerl fighting starts with close-to-reality training.Paul,68, retired instructor.

I’ve got a championship in tang soo do can you please give tips

Hi sir I heard ur in Pennsylvania I live in Taylor is close to Scranton I’ve wrestled my whole life and have my black belt in Taekwondo and my 3rd Dan in tangsoodo I like ur videos and ur style if ur in Pa I’d like to train if possible

Your sequence is missing a punch when compared to either tsdmdk or tsdmgk.

The video is really cool, a cool topic would be to discuss the origin of moo duk kwan or the difference between tang soo do and chun kuk do, it would also be cool to discuss the way Chuck Norris represented the tang soo do fight, both in his fight against Bruce Lee in the film and in championships

Fantastic video Dan, and very sharp and to the point. I think as with all techniques and drills, not matter how much bunhae/bunkai we extract.. you hit the nail on the head... We as practitioners have to get out there and TRY it with a partner in a live way with resistance. That's the one thing that the combat sports, and bjj have over most traditional karate practice. The full resistance live training aspect. Excellent video again, and I agree with you. It's good to see people such as yourself helping to push this movement of functional karate further.

Hi Daniel. Do you have any videos on the World Tang Soo Do forms that are different like form #1 the Sae Kye Hyung Il Bu? I just joined and it's the first I need to learn for my white belt :)

We were talking about this last night, when practicing kihon. You gotta know the how to ask the why, in order to understand the how. Kata become bunkai, which in turn becomes kata. I believe there are ways in which to make the kata more practical in the immediate sense, tweaks to some of the slower more thoughtful movements that bring out the bunkai in the form. Rick Hotton is excellent at this, and I encourage you to look up his videos if you have not already. Question for you: What inspired you to open up a dojang of your own? What are some of the trials and obstacles you've faced as a business owner and as a martial arts master?

You can fake entering into hand fighting to throw punches instead

Зачем ты нацепил черный пояс?

A real kata, thanks for showing it.

I go this karate but in Englaand

What is the korean name of this kick please(the axe kick in to out)? And what about the name of the axe kick out to in and the regular axe kick??

Very powerful hyung sabom

Hi, I live in Brazil and here where I live there are no dojos in tang soo do What do I do

Bob needs some legs to kick.

All you need is a jacket but this is dope

Says the guy hitting a dummy 🤣

Dude,you are fpat footed and you dont fight it...

I won't be standing still for you. I've got a black belt, 5-A wrestling state champ, and boxing training. You'd need a gun.

I wonder if something like the Sanda rule set but 1) jacketed, while wearing the dobok/dogi and 2) with allowances for an extended clinch would work well as a competitive format for integrating forms applications.

Not 1 attempted sweep or takedown. No elbows. No low kicks. Need more realism.

There is a hook in tsd? Not that I knew of

Damn I wish I lived close enough to train with you. You seem like a great teacher. I just started 2 weeks ago. I'm in the UK.

Prefer the downward heel kick, a crescent kick, or reverse roundhouse.

I enjoyed seeing that thanks. One or two slight differences compared to the wado ryu version I'm familiar with

Fingers together on your sudo blocks.

Bhogas😂

I don't know the form, for I'm only a first dan, but your technique is among the best I've seen. What rank and organization, sir?

Just in case you were unaware, you can get an attachment for your bob bag that has arms. It might help your drills and whatnot.

This is really interesting stuff, do you have a set of moves you teach ? How do your students progress to better and more advanced sparring? I'm very interested in incorporating this in my own training

What if the guy pushes the kid down as soon he does the rotation kick ?

Yes

Ma ko be Sakna Ha Pls

Whats your opinion of the Tae guk forms in WT taekwondo? Do you think they offer decent combative application value?
