Do you even play taekwondo , so t judge things without actually seeing it yourself , well I can't disagree with the part that taekwondo nowdays is about gaining the point
I think the worst thing to happen to the sport was electronic scoring. Im saying this but its a catch 22. There was alot of complaints about incompetent scoring at the time (even cheating or intentionally not scoring points) back in the day. So the electronic scoring system solved a problem, but created another in taking away the incentive for raw aggression. You dont need to hit your opponent hard anymore, just tapping hard enough to register will do. Shock is not a thing anymore, the sport is "cleaner" I suppose, but the solution to end scoring controversy came at a (I believe) heavy cost. Mainstream Taekwondo competion has now moved even further away from realistic combat I think. To be honest, I think the goal of the WTF was always to be a better Olympic sport. Authenticity likely fell to the very bottom of priorities for the WTF's decision authorities somewhere in the early to mid 2010s.
This is half true and half false. Training regimen stays the same most of the techniques on the other hand changed to comply with this format but nonethless kicks are still fast and strong, what changed is the explosive and bombarded attacks. Tho sparring outside of competition still hurts and exhausting due to the lack of electronic counting(in my experience).
@@USSSoyuz @craig gantt about not hitting hard anymore, there are still alot of practitioners that practice new school that packs quite the kick. Especially those who experience old and new school like myself. Yes, raw aggression is gone but (in some occassion) you can till see power and speed. Or maybe we are just in diff locations and experiences.
@@me...2381 I'll have to respectfully disagree again, the front leg kicks are not designed for power, theres so little of the body that turns into them. They were always desigend to be checks, quick taps to either score or let your opponent know you're there and you see what they're doing. I've trained with the absolute best everytime Ive returned to TKD, the difference in objective and style must be obvious, even to the casual observer. TKD (at least the one I grew up with) is an action philosophy: "hit hard, hit fast, be accurate". Can you honestly say that is what you're seeing in this video?
@@USSSoyuz i agree with what you are saying with front leeg kicks. I too only use them to check, push, or dissorient opponnets still you would use back leg for counter after using front leg kicks. I dont know from what i see and experience. 1 flexibility to aim for those electronic spots (now these dont have much power but rather great point taker) 2 even so we are still thought of using front leg as point getter while using back leg as counter. just additional info i grew up in old school styleof TKD, stoped a few years come back in the new style of TKD even so the coach still mostly teach students how to be smart in pointing but still gives power. Yes, raw agression is not abundant anymore but tactical pointing and more ways to land a head or turning is rising. But front leg is not to be mess with either since they can knock you out especially S-kicks and front leg axe. They dont have the turning ability of other kicks but still great point getter and sure to give your enemy "run for their money"-figure of speech. I too miss old school TKD but this new school aint weak either, Just different. Plus there are a lot of coaches out there who teach old school TKD with a few lessons on pointing in new school.
we really need this back.. I'm a little scared of the new championships. But I will still do taekwondo for me it is not a hindrance. You can always train yourself.
Front leg is closer to the target that’s why most players prefer their front leg. Especially if you’re a tall guy, all you have to do is push the smaller guy and open him for a power shot

I just watched the US Gold Medal winning gal in Tokyo. That isn't TaeKwonDo!! This is what I learned and fought in the 90's. I won the State Championship for Seniors (over 35) at age 50. If I would have fought like they do today, I wouldn't have made it past the first match. I am enjoying watching this. Thank you for posting it.
The WTF is ruled by a buncha pussies now... they're trying to, I dunno... I personally know a 92 TKD olympic gold medalist who's constantly writing letters to the WTF and constantly complaining about it. He owns 4 schools in California... I won't name him here... but there are old school practitioners out there complaining about the new "one legged chicken dancing taekwondo."
martial arts: “minding its business” olympics: lets make it more *fair* Fencing, Tkd, etc: u gotta be kidding me kendo: bro ive only been in the olympic twice because they cant find a way to make it more *fair*
Entrene TKD en los 90 con el sensei Fernando Oviedo, Campeón Panamericano era mágico verlo combatir, ese estilo es el que aprendí me hizo recordar Vieja escuela por siempre.
If this kind of match will be in my matches, actually I will fear of it but I'll still fight ,and it's such an honor to fight like this ,plus ,is fun too
I mean in some places we still do this granted those flying and turning sides are rare due to the head kick meta tho cool 45 spams and head kick weaves especially the head kick weaves are still common
Technology began to be introduced in 2001 then forced on the sport by the governing bodies. It escalated over the years and naturally evolved as athletes adapted to be able to score points using the new tech. The most horrible outcome for the sport
This is how i and my friends train is like but more speed, power and accuracy, and the new style is only a tournament rule it doesn't effect how we train
I am not sure that 1999 would be considered "old school" :-) this was after TKD stopped using punches to the head and only sporadically scored for punches to the body, so we can see that both of these fighters have their hands mostly hanging at their sides. "Old School as in 1970s and earlier looked a lot more like Karate matches. Punches to the head were legal as well as punches to the body. The hands more in a defensive position in those days.
exactly. I do ITF "Traditional and qwe keep our hands up and punch more like Shotokan karate. I prefer it as I get older, can't keep doing flying spinning kicks.
Exactly. I train in ITF and we still do. Mor like Shotokan Karate. This is NOT Old TKD. It's just WTF when it was a little more agressive but I find the "limp arms" at your side annoying and primarily a trendy cool thing that got popular.
Long time ago when you got kicked it used to hurt like hell. I mean people used to go to hospitals all the time after matches. Now its like foot tag play lol.
Back in my taekwondo days are used to be very good with combat and respect and self-depend which some still do but they care about more winning trophies, and going to the Olympics, winning more plastic medals this seems that some taekwondo styles and some instructors out there I have seen they care about putting more money in their own pockets, then caring about what taekwondo was supposed to I still think taekwondo is the best martial arts out there I think some taekwondo instructors need to rethink what taekwondo is post to represent, and not about winning trophies and medals because that does not make a martial artist is the person behind the belt that makes the difference.
It is just as fun in some places sparring where I'm at ur free to try those techs however if u wanna win tournaments people seem to go for the ugly beeline for the head meta
That red opponent is have a powerful kick a shit that you will never experience his axe kick. Btw in my highschool days I'm new beginner in Taekwondo and my opponent was a blackbelter she axe kick me on my face but luckily i still got silver medal that was 2016 i can't get over of that fight that was so memorable! 😂
This is way better than the rubbish Olympic style we have nowadays. Although both these fighters should have been penalised for pausing for too long. The ref should have told them to fight or deduct points. Makes it more exciting that way. I competed internationally back in the 80/90’s in both ITF and WTF, and back then WTF was hardcore. It was dynamic and explosive, I honestly can’t recognise what we have now???
when i did tkd in the late 90s light,medium contact kicks didnt score EVEN if i lands flush............it only scores if it lands HARD and a audio SMACKING sound. and kicks to the head ddnt score unless it lands hard....but new style taekwondo rules all you have to do is tap the electronic chest guard.....and head kicks count even if it barely touches the head gear....like wtf is going on now? People use t make fun of WT taekwondo sparring in the 80's and 90's but now the new style makes old style look super full contact hardcore! lol At least during the 90s we had knock outs nearly 35% of all fights now its like foot fencing.....such a shame.

Not gonna lie i like old school more than a new school idk why

Definitely old school.
I must really be old because "old school TKD" to me is the 1970's with at least a reverse punch thrown in here and there 😉
Always liked this fight.they seem to use every kick in tkd and seem to avoid those headshots like a couple boxers,not a block in sight
Punches and kicks . Old school was God
They need to bring TKD back to this, just letting them unload into their opponents
This is not old school Taekwondo back, in the 70s old school Taekwondo Fighters fought with their hands up.
