Some more things to keep in might that we will learn a lot more about once I release the interview with Eddy on Fight Commentary Chats:
1. Eddy before going into kickboxing/mma has already had ~200 TKD tournaments, so unlike many fighters, he has fortified his mind to not get "stage fright" before a match. This is something I never thought about until talking to Eddy because I always assume fighters get an adrenaline spike just from walking out. But Eddy is so used to competing from TKD that competing publicly is not a hurdle he has to prepare himself for as much.
2. Eddy started training boxing in his teens, so his ability to put punches with his kicks in combos isn't purely from his TKD training. He's primarily a kicker, as we've seen from his matches, but having punches in your arsenal is so important. We even saw it in this match with his check hook that he threw I think twice.
3. Eddy's IG is edward_bahena_mma if you want to follow him on IG. Like with any person we feature, please respect his time and training and avoid sending him long essays or rants in the DMs.
Also, I keep writing "Eddy," but he spells it "Eddie." I will definitely spell it correctly in the next match commentary. The third match that Eddie does against Muay Thai is even more epic. Stay tuned ;)
Finally an elite WTF kicker representing. They have kicking down to a sweet science.. it's boxing with the feet. The double/ multiple kicks are all feints to set up the last power kick. Elite WTF fighters are dangerous in the street- dont underestimate them. Their ability to control distance and stay on the outside is their key. You're wrong about 1)adrenaline. 200 fights is valuable bc of experience but w/o adrenaline and pressure, you will get complacent. 2)you're also wrong about: he's going to lose energy circling on the outside...that's what he does so he's trained for it. Going inside and tussling will drain him bc thats not his home.
@@FightCommentarywhat about the Muay Thai guy?
We need more Eddy. His Taekwondo rocks.
I will feature his 3rd match soon too. His stuff is so good!
There are many TKD in MMA.
What a KO, damn, perfect...Eddie's making TKD scary again! 🔥
I like what you said: "making TKD scary again."
Eddy is making Tae Kwon Do shine again is because his footwork. Look how Eddy moves, he's definitely training a lot of cardio. Eddy guard is down but his distance is good, so he also spars a lot to know his spins and kicks strikes. Eddy knows his thing by making his style of Tae Kwon Do very unique. Good work Eddy. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words and feedback!
@@Edward_Bahena_mma anytime brother 👍
The reason his TKD is much better than the other guy (Chinese guy i think?) is because of the footwork. He is actually using the footwork, that you learn from TKD sparring, properly. That makes him able to close the gap to the Muay thai guy and throw some nice kick onto him.
Reinventing TKD, well done Eddie.
no that was always tkd it just got watered down
Bruh, Eddie literally use the bullet/butterfly kick in a kickboxing match and his stamina and speed tho, is not a joke ..
Nice, he need to tryout for Karate Combat
That's a really good idea!
That's actually really funny since taekwondo is a Korean martial art based off of Japanese karate
Yeah he should replace Damien villa
Its thrilling to see unorthodox fighting styles work!
Thank you for those wise words at the end of the video, even though you talked about your mental issues in past videos, your enthusiasm in the commentaries are still so genuine and entertaining! Are you able to release the interview with Eddie? I would love to see what you guys talked about?
Yep. That will be released on Fight Commentary Chats. I have a backlog of videos to release there. I interviewed Jeff Phillips from Rokas' USDC series too ;) I'll get on it this week most likely.
I'll go check it out, thanks Jerry!
Taekwondo is alive! That fighter is great!
Yep! Do you do TKD too?
@@FightCommentary in my past) i've started when WTF was not an olympic style (and it was really hard), but then it began to change to smth high-technological, not realistic and a little strange) after this i tried ITF and Kickboxing. But now i see Kukkiwon-Taekwondo is alive again! I'm glad for it.
You should see raymond daniels
@@camilopalma1223 yeah, i saw his fights. Charismatic guy)
There are many interesting tkd-fighters in full contact. For example, Ignacio Capllonch "El Micil".
And this Eddie from video shows that number of them increases)
In PH's old school WTF TKD, we called that multiple roundhouse (45 deg) kicks as "Bullet Kicks" :) This kick is fast but we only the last kick will have the power. This kick is easy to jam also :) This is usually used with one as fake while the next kick will hit. Straight push/power attacks usually cancels this technique though. Happy to see old school style TKD used in the ring ^_^
Btw those switch kicks are called Bullet kicks in Taekwondo. And they are very hard to pull off even in Taekwondo competitions
Exactly
We call em doubles where I come from.
I used to find landing both is easy on someone who doesn't move much. If they move alot, the first kick can become a fake and the second is the real kick
The first flurry of "switch kicks" made me think, hey, he is looking for the opening. Sure enough, he finds it in that last round. Those are coming so fast, that it can be difficult to deal with.
Yes, double, triple, quadruple is correct for TKD verbiage.
He initiated it with a step (footwork) called a fast step causing the opponent to get on his horse. Eddie followed his movement while winding up the double roundhouse that's why it looks like stutter stepping... Until the range is correct.
So interesting! Thanks for explaining!
@@FightCommentarythank you for this channel. I'm glad I found it & look forward to watching more videos, especially the ones with Power Era TKD & I'm also surprised you delineate between old & new.
Beautiful application of kicks!
Man.... really great clip! 👍 Also, continue your self development 💪 💪
This guy is Sanji'ing people up holy heck. Those kick combos are insane. Very excited to see where this guy goes next.
Damn that ending!!!!!
I enjoyed Eddie the TKD guy fight
This video is amazing. I appreciate it! 🕺🏻💯
Those kicks man!
Eddie makes this look like a video game! Jerry! I am in a bad place too but we can make it out!!
nice kicks and nice KO.
What a Knockut! he has great Taekwondo! There was a great turkish taekwondo fighter competing some years ago, you don´t see him frequently, his name is Serkan Yilmaz He was a tremendous kicker.
This guy Eddie really reduced the risk of being hit by low kicks, plus used very effective striking. Really good!
Good video. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
hi. i do itf taekwondo and that was a great match. the name of the double roundhouse is called narae chagi (running kicks).
Thank you so much! I'll save this term in my vocabulary. Do you have any links to any tutorials on it?
@@FightCommentary here you go, also when turning the hips only turn it halfway, not fullyruclips.net/video/9sGedCrp6Bc/видео.html
That's really cool. Thanks for the video!
Dude's pretty good
Oooo damn!🥊
I think what's most interesting about the way he kicks to me is he never really turns his roundhouse kicks over. He's almost always throwing a 45 and I think that allows him to throw doubles etc while staying in his stance much more easily.
Holy cow😮
One time brown 2 stripes here, this footwork is something else. Great application of our, frankly, damn near unmatched toolkit.
It's called Narae, I.E. wing kick.
I think eddies technique is never be found in modern tkd but its more like old school.
Real TMAs are back💪
Bring back the Kukki Won era of TKD where it was based on power
Thats happens When Taekwondu Breack Rules , Feeling proud to be Taekwonduan ❤
Hi do u have interest in tkd? Seems like i noticed u upload significant amount of tkd vid hehe
We call this "bullet kicks" before in the Philippines when we were doing TKD.
I don't know if we have similar trauma. My brother died yesterday. Not kidding. My mom and grandma died the same day last year and a friend was beaten to death by gangsters. I wish I could train but I have an elbow and a knee injury. I was lifting jugs of water in bags, in the woods like a 70s Jackie Chan movie. Hopefully my knee is okay to do sprints today. I take 5htp, neurontin, kratom and alcohol to feel better but I'm not sure you want me recommending that here. I'm trying to quit the alcohol but the rest I reccomend. Besides that, there is no perfect advice for that kind of trauma. Not that you were asking. Train, hang out with friends and don't let the day be consumed with sadness. Maybe I don't know anything. Trying to figure it out. Hope you find a way to not let trauma destroy you. Apperears you're dealing with hard times well. Good luck.
Sending strength towards you man
May the workouts help you forget the pain man
Or maybe he got him on the ribs below the arm pit?... amazing tkd
Conclusion it not matter what martial arts u choose its depends on the user
That is first combo for me in karate 34 years ago.. I do not surprised last combo.😆👍
I’m hoping to see a TKD fighter do an average usage of punches and kicks together. And not just more of one and less of the other
What I appreciate is the passion while acknowledging that passion kills.
Life is very odd.
As a TKD guy moving into Muay Thai, the one question I have is how much falling down on your own is being penalized in these matches? I understand in traditional Muay Thai sparring, falling down and retreating incur heavy point penalties. I have been told the moment you start moving backwards, you start losing the match. Not second guessing Eddy's skill, he's obviously really talented, but curious to know how this works in Muay Thai?
Does he own a dojang or does he teach?
He trains at three different places, I believe. Notice how the best people in the sports are too busy training to teach ;)
The MT dude was stupid enough to not lean forward and not do anything when the TKD dude started doin that hippidy hoppidy "grasshopper steps" at 07:58 😆😆😆
Damn, i would fall for that.
Weight? Kilo v. Kilo?
135 for this fight. I’m usually 125 tho.
What are the rules? Muay Thai guy probably should've focused on catching the kicks (not like it would be easy tho, he probably tried many times)
MMA rules.
@@dominusmilans5478 then my point stands. Trying to block or evade is *literally* playing Taekwondo's game. You gotta try to catch them kicks, can't be losing to the rain
@@jestfullgremblim8002 catching Taekwondo/Karate kicks is like trying to catch a fly; even the effective ones are fast.
It does have less power than Muay Thai kicks but it's still faster.
Scissor kick
first time i seen it work
We featured him before, so make sure to check out the other videos featuring him. I will save a playlist of him so in the future all the times we feature him will be in one easy to find playlist.
Just look raymond daniels
🙄
Dang hahaha, the modern Taekwondo schools are bad alright
I wonder if MT guy had some mental blackout. The pattern of the switch kicks was known to him. Maybe this time, the first, i.e. the body kick, had some serious impact, that made him lose reaction to the second, head one. Or he was overthinking how to overcome the situation where he was clearly behind and had no real receipe to change the score.
Yeah, Eddy told me that in the first match we featured him he was actually switched last minute to fight the champion at the time. So even though it felt like that first opponent was inexperienced, he, like this second opponent in this video, likely got so confused and had exactly like you said a "mental blackout." It's great watching these non-standard kickboxing styles work, because it also mentally confuses the opponent.
It wasn’t switch kicks but double roundhouse kicks (I think) which is also used in Muay Thai but not really that much so it may have been surprising ? I don’t know
Did he died???
Tkd won
muay thai guy can't get a his punches and leg kicks in. his chance of winning is low. if this was One or UFC, he should take Eddie to a ground fight but Eddie's father is a jujitsuka. muay thai guy's chance would still be low. LOL!
Impressive but seems a bit lump sided; kinda like the equivalent of maybe a blue belt in Muay Thai and like a 3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo!
Eddies arrse is falling more often to the ground then he is hitting the target. I think I have to disagree with the other commentators. Maybe Eddies opponents are not so experienced and he had some good portion of luck that this wasn't exploited. But he is pretty good in keeping the distance and using his hands for a TDK user.
