I see snippets of late Park Hyun Woo in here. (passed away from stomach cancer RIP) Looks like he was a freshman in this video. I learned how to fight "Korean style" from him during early years of my athletic career. Hope there are more footages like this.
4:58 The girl in red hogu on the left is a world champion & was in this funny Adidas ad for the 2000 Olympic games. Adidas Ad here: ruclips.net/video/VF1QV5bJy94/видео.html I'm pretty sure its her. Video is kinda blurry so hard to verify. When I trained at Kyung HeeI recognized her and told her I saw the Adidas Ad. She had never seen the ad and asked me to show her where to find it. After practice we went to a PC bang and pulled it up for her. It was the first time she saw the ad. She said Adidas didnt even pay her. :(
How do they decide when to initiate and attack? Compare with this video from the Philippines from around the same time period. The Philippines practitioners seem to attack a lot more and throw a lot more kicks and combinations. Can anyone you knows a lot more than I do explain ?
@@Dx_dyFxfy I would say it’s a trail and error thing- they learn over the years what works and when and training as hard as they do they are fast strong so very powerful so the athletes are more confident and that makes the risk for attacks easier mentally (my opinion) what do you think??
@@FocusOnTaekwondo I don't know what to think 🙄😃. I think you are saying that they are not making a decision to attack, they have just been doing the sport for so long that they instinctively feel when it is the right time to initiate an attack. I've watched some videos where the Korean fighters seem to try and get into a rhythm with their opponent and time their attack for when the opponent is at the apex of a bounce. Do you know why the fighters in the Philippines attack so much more and throw so many more kicks? Their technique seems to be just as good and fast as the Koreans but they are way more aggressive. What am I missing?
@@FocusOnTaekwondo I don't know enough to have an opinion worth sharing yet. I am trying to learn.😃 I think what you are saying is that they aren't making a decision to attack in the same way a chess player decides a move, but over years of practice they feel by instinct when is the optimal time to attack. Both the Koreans and the Philippines fighters seem very fast and skilled but the Philippines fighters seem to be much more aggressive and throw a lot more kicks. I don't understand the reason behind the difference.
6:40 The dude wearing the red hogu on the left I recognize. He had a great fight with Pascal Gentil back in the day ruclips.net/video/dv42dUdDkWk/видео.html
It is very hard to tell just what “Old School TKD “ is by the watching this clip. Both are fighting ( play sparring) with their hands down and no defense, no countering, no punching. So being taught by a Great Korean and American teacher in TKD witnessing this it has to be kicking exercise but sparring I don’t see it in this clip. IJS
Calvin Rhea ok thanks for the comment - the first move in the clip shows a counter punch to the body! Hands are down as they are trying to look open to be attached - trust me their defence is great 👍👍
if you use your punch for opponent's face, it's not tkd game. like if you use your kick, it's not boxing match. and when you fight only with your kicks, lifting your hands could be bad choice, becouse kicks useally hit your body and faster for hitting body than for hitting your face. also your head can mover more free than your body to avoid the kicks.
i agree but these guys fought each other all the time so it is very technical as they know each others fighting style - i do miss the old style fighting but i also don't miss the waiting for action. Thanks for your comment
Gordon Gavin yeh I remember those 3x3 minute fights - it’s crazy when you think how short the fights are now - has the shorter time helped? Is it better? Is there more action? I’m not convinced it has
@@FocusOnTaekwondo Yes - it is definitely noticeable. Especially if you are the one fighting! Athletes such as DaeHoon Lee are outputting an average of 40 kicks a round. It just looks different because its more of the front leg game.
This is the time when you can really feel the power and technique.. good ol days☺️👍

Claudino Lucas that’s great to hear, hope your training session went well 👍

That’s a good video 👍👍 I like Pascal
Ah ok - didn’t realise that was the Korean in the video - I will have to trust you on that one 😀👍👍
Hey,the channel that post this video that u sent the link and the channel owner is the same guy?

If it was just slightly more output than the wait and check game we see here, I think that would be the ideal that everybody's looking for now.

@@FocusOnTaekwondo yes they are just drilling so the pace is slower and don't forget they are training for the 3x3 minute pace.
