Most of the haters are Muay Thai elitest and I hate to say it every MT fight I've seen, the fighter have shit hand skills as well. Plus if your not training in Thailand it's not Muay Thai. Let the hate comments begin
this used to be the most exciting category, with very skillful fighters, but nowadays absolutely everyone fights the same, just side kicks all the time.
Liquidcadmus Nah, they're just trying to be cautious, since these are the finals. Guys like Julio normally try different strategies in the 1st fights. And the thing is normally you'll find the middle fights more interesting that the finals.

Liquidcadmus Indeed, that is true. However, fights those days used to be more about strength, rather than speed. Rules adapted a lot since then in order to prevent injuries. I know some people want to be back to the old school way of fighting; which I totally respect that, and I'll admit, sometimes I also want it to be back. However, I think this new school benefict the technique and the speed of the fights, which it prevents you from going on a rampage to attack your opponent; the faster the fights, the less mistakes you can make. That's why some fights may look the same.
In order to get tae quon do into the olimpics they had to more or less outlaw punches meaning the fights are less entertaining to watch worse for self defence and less agressive
@@ivegotbadtaste9181 thats wtf taekwondo, which is a sport. This is ITF Taekwon-Do, the real martial art. Punches are allowed here, to the face and the body.
It's called baiting gentlemen. That little dance/shuffle is to get your opponent's head and have them either defend or attack in anticipation of your next move.
Can someone explain why they got their hands at their waist all the time? At my ITF dojang we used to get scolded for not heaving the guard up by our teacher or get immeadiately punished by a strong punch by the senior students
At a lower level, you're meant to keep your hands up as the kicks are pretty slow meaning they're easy to block But at a higher level, they're more of a burden as simply moving around is much more efficient as it makes your opponent go off balance and allows for a counterattack Holding your hands up high also limits your speed in both movement and kicks; when you have a very fixed guard, you find that you move way less as you focus more on blocking than dodging and repositioning, thus making you an easier target I still have a neutral stance, but instead of the front hand at shoulder height and using fists, I have relaxed palms and my front hand is lower ~the waist to push side kicks so people go off balance, allowing for a punishing counterattack, while the other hand is used to block kicks to the head Also remember kicks are from the legs, and by having the hands ~the waist you can just block it before the legs can go close to you, and momentarily knocking the opponent off balance This is NOT saying you shouldn't have guard ready, you can clearly see at some points in the fight that both fighters have guard up, but its up to the fighters to determine whether they want to go more offensively (giving less focus on the guard and trying to create space to attack) or defensively (usually finding ways to move around or destabilize the opponent) TL:DR Holding your hands up high limits your speed and movement, at higher levels when you're very used to quick combat having them at a lower level allows you to block kicks quicker and allows for more versatility
@@cryptor0012 thanks for the informative answer! It seems I was judging too early. I guess in point fighting it makes more sense, especially in TKD, with the fast kicks and distance control. The sparring at my school is closer to Kickboxing, bc in my country there are few ITF tournaments, which lead us to join WAKO (similar to Kickboxing).
That's similar to mine but because I'm training 1 on 1 with my coach I'm having to fight kickboxers and Muay Thai. You learn to adapt quick or get hit in the face

@Taekwondo invented 1930 ITF style invented in 1959 how can you call WTF full contact if even punches to the head are not allowed? I think both TKD styles are medium/light contact. By the way this was the point of my first question, which was kind of a rhetoric one: since I can t hurt the legs that should not be full contact. I admit it was a vague thought, the first concept of this reply is clearer ("no punching head = no full contact" )
They need a freesparring competition where open hands can be used, you can't even hook a leg with your forearm in this type, it's too artificial and you see the results when these guys go into mma rings knowing a very limited fight. This type seems to be designed to encourage the use of leg kicks to the upper body which is nice and flashy but is only a part of tkd but is still better than the leg fighting you see in wtf where they fall over so often.

ITF taekwondo is more traditional and incorporates more punches, less stylish kicks in comparison to WTF. While WTF is nice to look at, ITF tends to relate more to actual combat. But honestly, whether ITF is good depends on who you learn it from. Fighters like these from this video is quite disgraceful to ITF
They are both "bad" as far as a real fight. As in you will learn to but in an inefficient way and not everything you practice will apply directly. Just do kickboxing is the answer if that is your main concern. Same thing with karate and so on. We already figured out something more practical years ago and these older styles have just gotten worse and worse since their glory days have ended sadly. Like even compare wtf tkd of early 2000s to wtf tkd now and the difference is light and day and people were ALREADY making fun of wtf tkd back then haha.

@Dominus Providebit When people ask that about point fighting it's usually in regards to how hard the contact is allowed to be. Are knockouts permitted, are full strength kicks and punches allowed or will the fighter get warned? There are many different styles and organisations, I come from TSD and the rules are not immediately apparent just from watching.. there's no need to be so prickly, not every question is a veiled 'BUt In UFc' comment :P
@Dominus Providebit full contact as in full contact,theres only 1 definition. Itf has never been full contact,its light contact only in every organization.
Competition rules are different from practical sparring where you're allowed to combo and continue to strike and jab and kick until they hit the ground. In actual tournaments you have to stop everytime you land a hit. (which yes means ITF Taekwando in practical spars is full contact)
Rules of point fighting are very gamey, so people game those rules and a meta strategy always appears.. those at the top usually conform because it has been demonstrated to work 'best' and the risk of not conforming is too great. It kind of sucks but it's the nature of the thing. The more open the rules, the harder it is for any one style to dominate which is why there's a lot more variety in MMA (love it or hate it) since more or less everything is allowed. Old school full contact TKD and Karate used to be a lot more varied and fun to watch.

Почему они убегают друг от друга? Когда один атакует то другой поворачивается спиной и убегает? Многие скажут ,что тактика такая! Но я считаю, что они трусы.
Wow. Just wow. You can tell it’s all point based and not full contact. Must take a lot of years worth of hard training to create techniques so useless for real combat. No guard. All the punches were haymakers. Kicking has no follow through and ducking kicks? If this was my old WTF tournies both would have been KOed by their own coaches for ducking like they were. On the plus side though they’re are quite elegant dancers.

@@ProfessorBulletMG Yeah, but who seriously thinks they would move like this in a real fight? I do point fighting along with free sparring and full contact.... it's not like you accidentally mix them up....
@@ProfessorBulletMG People don't laugh at sports because of ITF Taekwondo sparring, but they do laugh at those that spout "alpha" drivel such as yourself and Ed. Just leave people be and go smash a wall or something.
@@agnikaineverdies7646 Actually it depends of how close you are from the other competitor. You can easly win a fight with only using your fists. But it's obviusly more effective if you go with a kick, that can also be counterattacked with a fist if the other is fast enough. Also, a kick to the head is 3 points, but is not that easy to do it...

Why is the ITF competitor wearing a WTF style dobok, and not the fold over version, showing its identification with traditional TKD?
If ITF takes full-contact fight and WTF allow punch to the face, than they can unite easily at least in sparring competition.
