i teach and train in ITF tae kwon do and have never been much of a fan of WTF but this is starting to look a lot more entertaining!! great work in rule changes to keep things flowing!!
O Aaron Cook dispara golpes limpos que nao deixa duvida de computar um ponto (The Aaron Cook shoots clean blows that leaves no doubt to compute a point).
A few iffy points.. Especially the one at 9:49 Why did Aaron get a point?? (I know why it went up- due to setting on the daedo) but that point along side a few others should've been spotted =/ Pressure vs Sensor both have their ups... Sorry if I missed something
@zedsj you as well, friend and thanks for the link to your sifu's site. very in-depth and informative stuff man so i'm adding it to my resources. your blog looks really thought provoking, i'll definitely stop by from time to time.
@zedsj I agree with you but there are two types of training; traditional martial arts training and tournament/sport oriented training. As a martial artist AND a competitor it is important to understand the difference between the two types of training and adjust accordingly when preparing for a competition etc. Leaving a martial art because of the scoring system is not really a good reason. In doing so, you would have completely missed the point of the martial art.
Yes it is considered a point :) actually if the opponent kick the head its 2 or 3 point i guess, i forgot i've been in taekwondo for 3years and i miss the hard training, sparring and having fun with my friends :D
Not misshaping at all. Within the context of Martial Art rules or not he taught to learn and strengthen your weakness. Can't box? Learn boxing. Can't kick, learn a kicking art, etc etc. That's what I meant in a nutshell.
@Farizor no pal you are wrong, the red fighter is one of the best players in the world and I believe that he will get defenetly a medal in 2012. The scoring system is also the best you can get until this point, the old system was a disgrace because of the judges, this is what all TKD fighters believe.
@zedsj exactly, and when those training habits get embedded into your muscle memory...that can never be a good thing. I try to stay away from competition because of this. mind you i'm more of a shotokan guy than anything else; been doing than since I was 7 or 8. I recently started wing chun too btw. I like the feel of it; its a bit more dynamic than other styles although the forms are a bit too long for my liking. Sui lim tao was a bitch to learn for me as im used to moving in stances.
because here they are actually allowed to hit each other,and in here you really have risk of getting seriously injured,and bcs this the martial art with heaviest knockouts of all,in boxing you get ko-ed,but get after a minute or two,but here you will almost always end up in hospital with memory loss,or a broken jaw or broken spinal chords.
@zedsj i get what your saying, but i love mma AND wtf sparring. 2 favourite sports. doesnty take too much effort to keep your sparring tactics to sparring and your mma tactics to well.. mma
Great Britain. You'll see especially in the olympics Great Britain abbreviated to GBR. They will have a white flag with a red cross where all four sides go to the end of the flag (distinguishing it from the First Aid sign).
This just proves that mma fighters don't have any respect whatsoever, seriously guys we don't hate on you're sport and whoever does is not considered a real taekwondo athlete. So why should we get this nonsense from you? we don't care what you think and we definitely should not be wasting our time explaining anything to you now please go away.
Did you read boxingfan786 comment I replied on? He's says that these guys should be doing MMA or Boxing because that's where the money is at, I replied not everyone does something for money, he bashed Taekwando, so I bashed his MMA/Boxing and used the 'gay' comment, sorry....I should've not said that as others might take offense, but it was geared at boxingfan786, do what you want in any sport, regardless of the money and MMA, Boxing, Taekwondo, etc. is NOT gay. Peace.
it's better to have your own fighting style... you can learn from aaron but taking his style is just like plagiarism but i see you point and keep getting better
good comment. cant stand when people who think 'mma' is a martial art and do some botch mma class once a week for a year start thinking they understand martial arts. don't people realise martial arts is founded on moral principles and, in the case of chinese arts, Confusious teachings? Oh well, guess that's what martial artists are here for, to educate the ignorant.
How do they get points? Rules have changed and its not tkd anymore.. Dae Do is about power.. u get points when u kick your opponent hard.. unlike the old days.. you score based on how many kicks youve done .. no electronic system.. i think this electronic scoring applied way back 2012
@zico1024 Nice, hope your journey goes well. I loved shotokan as a kid, tkd was my plan b after i couldn't find a good place. Last year I trained with a karate guy in wc, he loved it too but was hard to get him out of the 'tecnique' mindset and into the 'concept' mindset. Re the forms, c'mon there's only 3 forms ;) I recommend you read the very detailed description of the slt form at my sifu's website wcats .com. I've been through 4 wc teachers, his stuff is by far the most mindblowing
@boxingfan786 --They have real jobs during the day, not everyone does something for money; are you getting paid to watch RUclips? Do people get paid to watch TV? To jog, to exercise at the gym, many think boxing and MMA are gay anyway.
@zico1024 i used to agree with you....but after 15 years of training, 10 years of it in tkd, the problem i realise is that such competitive sports encourage unrealistic training habits that your body absorbs but is not good for you (the instability shown in this fight for example is a huge issue i have with tkd)...anyway i dont have all the answers but you sound passionate, share your thoughts at my blog: walkingbamboo. wordpress. com
omg in every video i go one everyone is having a discussion about different martial art is the best an that one is gay and one is the best lets get this straight i do wtf taekwondo but when your sparing you cant do half the things that tkd really is because you probably couldn't do without seriously injuring or killing your opponent even with protectors but the thing is no martial art is better than other its all about the master the fighter.
boxing and MMA are gay.. tell that to anderson silva.. tell that to klitschko. Nothing gay about them, every sport holds different opinions to different people so allow other people's choice. Aaron is from where I live the kid has some real talent, but if he chooses to apply it in Taekwondo instead of something else that's his choice :)
I think it was great to watch. If you understand sport TKD. It's great fun to watch.
Man I'd be tired as fuck after a fight like this, what a great fight.
11:20, beautiful moment. Really sportsmanlike. Great fight as well.
i teach and train in ITF tae kwon do and have never been much of a fan of WTF but this is starting to look a lot more entertaining!! great work in rule changes to keep things flowing!!
O Aaron Cook dispara golpes limpos que nao deixa duvida de computar um ponto (The Aaron Cook shoots clean blows that leaves no doubt to compute a point).
@zico1024 thx for the kind words, stay in touch and keep up the training!
MMA is not a style of martial art, it's just a type of tournament where your background can be anything, karate, box, taekwondo.
A few iffy points.. Especially the one at 9:49 Why did Aaron get a point?? (I know why it went up- due to setting on the daedo) but that point along side a few others should've been spotted =/ Pressure vs Sensor both have their ups... Sorry if I missed something

Great sportsmanship from the red fighter
I have a question. If you throw a kick and it hits the opponent's head but you fall, is that still considered a point?
no it shouldnt be but it does still count
Niceee Cook! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
We don't need to "KILL" the other player. This is a sport.

Muy buen combate los 2 son exelentes taekwondistas!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Aaron was on 100k per annum while part of the Olympic camp... that'd do me nicely
JESUS CHRIST...THE MORE I LOOK AT THESE FIGHTERS THE MORE I FEEL USELESS XD the speed.Accuracy and strength between these guys...Wow

Remember that this is the sport form. No paddings in self defence :>
look at 10:48 great spinning round kick
Very good fight

I'm not a big fan of Great Britain but I'm going for Craig
I wanna see aaron cook vs bren foster
@zedsj i get what your saying, but i love mma AND wtf sparring. 2 favourite sports. doesnty take too much effort to keep your sparring tactics to sparring and your mma tactics to well.. mma
@Farizor being a better fighter and scoring more points are two different things...this is why i stopped tkd...
he is an icredible fighter¡¡¡

Freaking AWESOME!
hitmonlee used flying kick......its super effective!
it's better to have your own fighting style... you can learn from aaron but taking his style is just like plagiarism but i see you point and keep getting better
Other than being excited, how did he act like an asshole? He seemed very respectful to me after the match. I'm not a Brit BTW.
hong was just osm man ..

Yes
@GetInThaKitchen No need to be rude, something you would learn if you understood martial arts as opposed to MMA.
Please define plagiarism and please compare it to what it has to do with fighting technique.
How do they get points? Rules have changed and its not tkd anymore.. Dae Do is about power.. u get points when u kick your opponent hard.. unlike the old days.. you score based on how many kicks youve done .. no electronic system.. i think this electronic scoring applied way back 2012
he's got PF... Parent Funds
wow they really need to sort the scoring out what a load of shit that was 23-11
yes
yes.
no aaron was a full time taekwondo player.
Aaron just cooked that guy up.

hahaha no habia visto "Cocinero gana 23 a 11" XD

how are boxing/MMA gay in any way?
جميل
@GetInThaKitchen Actually I do TKD and that was lame. More advertising in the ring then fighting. I take back my previous comment. Adieu.
Wait, isn't that what Bruce Lee suggested... yea no martial art there.

Why can't politics stay out of sport? Aaron should be in the team we all know that...yes the other chap is good but come on
:D

Nice point scoring, now try fighting an MMA fighter and see how effective those little taps are.
