i wish the olympics would have full contact tournaments like these in every martial arts, not just some bullshit ass point system, i feel disappointed as a person who practices taekwondo, thats one of the reasons i aint devoted to train anymore honestly
It's a different sport and your observation pretty much explains why Joe Rogan got punched a lot in the face when he sparred kickboxers just using Olympic TKD.
We moved as a teen from my hometown in Louisiana to Detroit MI. I took Taekwondo there, even though my background was strictly American Karate. In Karate, we sparred hard, and while discouraged, we werent penelized if we accidently punched to the face. It taught you to keep your hands up. So when I started TKD, I didn't know your primary purpose was body shots with kicks when sparing. Actually ended up upseting a TKD black belt when I punched him. It just baffled me how he kept his hands down and wouldnt get close. I really did love taking TKD though. It was a blast and looked very impressive! I just wish that the school I went too had sparred under a little different ruleset. Crazy part was, they taught us punches, knees and elbows in that TKD class! Just didnt spar very hard
Of this style of full contact in a dobok or gi, kyokushinkai karate is far superior. Thats from me an ITF tkd proponent no longer training but 80s and 90s i did 17 years of it. You can't compete without hands, it makes no sense whatsoever and leads to bad muscle memory movement in real fights.
It gets way more entertaining once you start to understand what’s really going on here. I didn’t like most pro fights because I had zero clue on how they work back then
I want to see one of these guys fight an MMA competitor. Any competitor. They'd be defeated effortlessly. Even one that just walked into an MMA gym and was told they're officially signed up, but haven't even done any training yet.
Why are you even bringing this up? First off no one gives a fuck, second how little is your brain for you to think you can beat a pro fighter from another sport just because you’re a beginner in MMA?😂😂😂
@@samydc310 still more entertaining I'm gonna have to be honest. Taekwondos great an all but if you're just gonna kick and scream without any sort of power being shown it'll get boring real quick.
How often do we have tournament like this? Its better than what the fuck (WTF)olympic TKD.
Human "Kangaroo" fighting is indeed boring.
It’s sad how it’s better but a cut kick will still beat it smh

Olympics taekwondo is basically foot fencing
@@epicmetal7462 exactly
Why not using punch when the opponent is very near. Why they prefer to kick while punch is very effective for near distance.
The same reason why boxers doesn't use kicks

1:05 I rolled my ankle like that a couple days ago during sparring 😩
Heard it crack. Sounded like someone broke a bunch of twigs lol
wild tracy morgan sighting
I am a kukkiwon from taekwondo 💛👍
What in the newborn baby giraffe did I just watch?
Cómo unos sayayines en la avitacion del tiempo.

Until a Kyokushin practitioner gets punched in the face. Jk. Those guys are tough as nails though.
Quero entrar nesse campeonato
Nem no pro TKD se levanta os braços para ficar em guarda....e nada de Jirugui(soco).....
This is foot boxing
I don't know what is worse, their screaming, their hand techniques, or their foot work. lol!
This is hilarious 🤣
unbelievable,that they were "masters". We had 2-3 years alter many who were better on FC-TKD
Wooow 👍💛 my like very fight 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cool to see taekwondo to have professional bouts back in the day but, in all honesty, this wasn't very entertaining.

Movies make it look far cooler...
Movies are movies bruh
This is really taekwondo?
No boxing skills, walk art!
I don’t see Boxer have this kind of kicking skills so what’s wrong with that?
It’s not good, but it is hilarious
What on earth is this?

Well they dont train to be good at mma. A boxer would be destroyed in mma. Whats the difference?
woah a fighter that trains multiple martial arts will be more effective than a fighter that trains one limited art you must be sooooo intelligent
this feels a little bit like karate combat
Taekwondo has its roots in Karate. Don't believe the ancient 5000 year old martial art nonsense pushed by the WT(F).
lol
well that was boring, full contact my ass.
This is full contact in the sense that they wear no protective body gear and full power knockout strikes are allowed
@@daddy-ice69420 they kind of just danced around and flailed their arms and legs
@@mcspankies2993 wow that’s one solid analysis you sound like a fucking genius😂😂😂
Precisando treinar mais, estão sem resistência.
Os cara saem enlouquecidos, não tem gás que aguente.
ugly lame fight
This is a boring sport. No finishing moves.
But...but there aren't always Ko's in box
And the referee stops their fight when they fall down too

@@IlyuuJrry34 have you even felt one of these kicks before? Because if you call them weak you have no clue what you’re talking about
