Thank you :) People don't see the effort you have to go through to progress and just want it given to them. The ones that are willing to put in the hard work are the ones that get the rewards :)
Dude you and your tutorials are really awesome. I've been doing kick boxing mainly but your stuff has answered so many of my questions, helped me progress and improve my skills. This year I'm starting taekwondo and it is fair to say your stuff made me want to do it that much more. Thanks and greetings from France!
GingerNinjaTrickster I have a question for you now ^^ It's been a week and a half that I've started Taekwondo, I love it. But my kick boxing teacher (who specializes in French boxing but also does kick boxing and full contact lessons) keeps telling me training in TKD is useless for kick boxing due to the low guard and side stance plus the constant guard shifting. What is your opinion on that matter? Even though it is clear that Taekwondo is a whole new sport and must be considered independantly from the other martial arts, can it improve ones kickboxing skills?
Dunk1905 It depends on your instructor and it's usually Olympic Sparring that tarnishes Taekwondo's Image of being a proper martial art but sparring is different from training for effective fighting. It all depends on what you learn. We are more traditional and enjoy the real fighting side as well as sparring and advanced moves at the same time :)
Hi i just wanted to say that you have been an inspiration to me.Im 33 years old located in Ottawa Canada and ive been training in ITF TKD for a 1 1/2 months. Your Videos are amazing and have been a great help. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos i only wish to take one of your seminars one day.
i watch your channel religiously, as a martial artist i find you tutorials both practical and pertinent. i love how you clarify how to apply techniques in both sparring and actual combat
I appreciate you saying that and i'm glad you think that. Thank you :) I will do my best to. I'm glad they liked it and i'm sure they will. Good luck with your training and i hope you and your children keep progressing :)
Appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) A lot of people have asked this but i don'y speak other languages and there are too many languages that i've been asked to subtitle too.
I'm glad you are happy with them and that's great :) WTF is usually more geared towards competition sparring (Olympic) and ITF is more traditional and focuses on self defence a bit more. This obviously depends on how the instructor decides to teach though :)
Been at TAGB TKD for a few years and have just reach red belt (at 44 yo) There is generally a fundemental lack of the kind of mechanical explanations GNT injects in all classes i have been in. I watch these videos over and over again. Ur basically my shadow instructor Aaron! All the best!
I'm 5' 10 1/2 ". That depends on what your strengths are. If you are taller than your opponents it's good to keep your range as you will have the reach advantage but this depends on whether you are quick with your legs and strong enough to keep them back.
I am new to taekwondo....it has been only a few months since I started, thanks to your videos I managed to improve a lot... keep doing them! Thanks....
Yes :) There's a BOB Video up of me doing a little Muay Thai already called 'Taekwondo Kickboxing Techniques Sampler on the BOB XL'. Hope you like it :)
It has improved over time so i'm not really sure. Well you are progressing so that's good i'm sure you will improve further if you keep working hard. Good luck :)
Combos you kind of have to make your own as it's what feel right for you but i'll give you a few suggestions. Spin hook-Tornado, straight through roundhouse-tornado, side kick-tornado, tornado-tornado, etc. Good luck :)
Wow your tutorials are so good, they really help me to learn the basics and have advice on how to do something in a right way, which is important as I miss out some of these in my classes, everything is so fast and small amount of time and thanks to your videos I can practice at my home too :)
Both but in this day in age it's good to get techniques from all different martial arts so you are a more diverse and a more knowledgeable martial artist :)
Control is one of the most difficult things to master but it gives you so much confidence to try new things and to improve the ones you already know. Excellent tutorial (as always), easy to follow and with a lot of tips. Thanks for the video, I'm already waiting for the next one!
Thanks for the video, I have no problem with my front kicks holding but it's my sidekicks that I'll need to work more on balance for class. I'll start doing these exercises this week. Sidekicks are the worse for me for some reason, I blame my flat feet.
im training for 4.nowhere near as controlled as you!ive seen a lot of tutorial videos on youtube but these seem to be the best of them.keep it up and thanks! :-)
Another great tutorial. I often use your posts as a technical manual on how things should be done. They have helped me no end. Keep up the great work! My kids love the gymnastics and martial arts together - Spiderman is a great hit. I always tell them to stick at the training and they will be able to do that one day - a great militarization for younger students. Thanks Robert A.
Hey thanks for adding so much free material on youtube. I'm a red head too lol. I'm from nc and not a part where a local dojo is lol. Keep up the good work!!!
Practice both and the feelings will improve. Also, try to understand the mechanism of each kick to gain more power so your kicks are not so flimsy as you say. Good luck :)
hiii GingerNinjaTrickster am happy to find you videos in you tube, am 20 years old and am getting trained in taekwondo (WTF) ,i want to know the difference between WTF and ITF
Excellent video. You're a kicking machine. Could you make a tutorial like this one, but about spinning kicks. I have a habit of spinning on my heal rather than the ball of my foot, by my toes. Thanks for taking the time to help others.
I like how you reply to your fans man! :D you are awesome! Haha maybe in the future we can spare, I'm planning on training day and night if your willing to take me challenge. Hopefully you don't mind waiting 2-4 years ;)
It's freezing on Google Chrome but is working fine on my Iphone and Internet Explorer so it must be a fault on Googles end. Hope that helps and good luck :)
These are the sort of fundamentals missing in most martial arts classes - superb.
I agree :)
It's the fundamentals that make eveything effective in self-defense!
I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful and i appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) I have been training just over 8 years. I'm glad you find them helpful and thank you for your support :)
I'm surprised your tutorials don't have more views! This stuff is really useful! :)
Thank you for your support and i'm glad you find them useful :)
Thank you :) People don't see the effort you have to go through to progress and just want it given to them. The ones that are willing to put in the hard work are the ones that get the rewards :)

Good luck :)
Thank you, Aaron. So appreciate your valuable teaching.
A bit too far then lol Thank you for your appreciation :) That's great and good luck with your future training :)
