How would you try to teach children 1. How to not be afraid when seeing a kick fly at them? 2. How would you teach kids about learning their fighting stance? 3. How would you yearn TWD sparring into a real life situation?
Excellent techniques, I will start to practice them for my next tournament, which is in two days, thanks for your videos you are great, greetings from Mexico.
Really great video. There is a big shortage of good videos like this one on RUclips. Im an advanced green belt and I was always looking fro something like this when i started. Id love to see the second addition of this video with some light sparring with someone of equal skill level . Keep up the great work.
This was very helpful I am trying to improve on my sparring and now I feel more aware of what i should be thinking about and working on. Thank you Alex for this video!
Hi Alex! I wouod really oike to see some intermediate combo sparring tips. Maybe incorporating some spinning kicks. Thank you so much! You have been so helpful!
Useful (and very convenient timing) video for me! My instructor is focusing on sparring in particular tonight, so thanks for this haha! Just one question, you said you "definitely" don't want to be moving straight back.. what's so wrong with moving straight back during sparring?
@@SupremeMeme Ahh I see. As it happens I've literally just asked my instructor about 20 minutes ago and she said it might be an "old school" way of sparring? In the sense that stepping back is a less "aggressive" approach and would in turn, give your opponent more marks during a competition, so avoid stepping back. She also said it's (obviously) easy to not see where you're going and so there's a chance you could step out of the ring. Lastly, (I believe she also said) it's harder to defend a kick when you're stepping backwards, whereas if you step sideways, you could avoid getting kicked and kick them easier in return. Safe to say, my question has been answered anyway, haha. Thanks!
@@Wolf-xu1fj Idk, sounds like your mind is the one in the gutter. He/she was probably asking because one of the most common problems for people new to TKD or any similar sport is foot and ankle injuries.
Alex, this is very helpful regarding setting up basic kicks and footwork; I notice however there's no use of chops to the neck, punches to the face or back fist to side of head. Further you carry your hands pretty low which would make it difficult to block an opponent launching a head high attack. Any suggestions on how to add the use of hands to your sprring attack?
Allen Schneider hand attacks to the face aren’t allowed in World Taekwondo (I’m assuming this is her style), those rules are used in olympics and any WT tournaments. ITF style taekwondo does allow punches to the face though so fighters will keep their hands higher than WT fighters.
trust me I am 40 and almost there. Hold your leg in the air like in side kick motion , it warms legs up pretty well. Do it to both legs then attempt slit with heels digging into floor with toes straight up. Rinse and repeat and you will have full straddle in three weeks.
I’ve been thinking of talking to our students maybe have a small class on anti bullying and self defense, is there anything I should include like something I definitely need to talk about or something I definitely should not say or talk about
What is the difference in a cut kick and side kick? Is cut kick a TKD term? You are using at and have defined it as a low power technique but I have developed my front leg side kick into a very powerful weapon that can double opponents over.
Love the videos love the sport but I will prob never get a chance to do it as stupid as it sounds I had a toe amputated from a accident and that alone will prob keep me from doing this sport
As cheesy as it sounds, never say never! Taekwondo is an amazing sport/martial art!! I would say you never know till you try! You might love it, you might hate it, but at least you gave it a go :)
Omfgggggg I'm freaking watching this cause I'm so freaking nervous on NCR uGhhHhHHh ( I'm a white belter ;-; But I passed since I was to tall I had no opponent ;-; )

I would really appreciate some match tips like things to remember in the match and to be fearless

SuperMisterKory it is really easy for an opponent to just do a skip roundhouse or pursue you

I'm always afraid when I have to fight, it's so hard...
Just make sure when on sparring hands on head and use you're techniques being afraid is normal but don't let it put you back!!
Can you do some videos showing how to stretch your feet?
Can people get their minds out of the gutter for 10 minutes

@@derrickj8424 or foot cramps, I get those all the time. you don't generally just stretch's the feet for those it's over all stretching
@@derrickj8424 look at ops other comments. He's a creep although I do agree that hurting feet can be a common problem
Would love to see advanced techniques & guidelines!
Hey Alex. Hope all is well. Will you do anymore kickboxing videos again in the future? Have a great day.
Hi, Alex, can you teach us how to beat a player that's love to counter
Nice
Thank you👍🏼
Thanks

It's really just a stop and distance kick in Olympic tkd it's better for points since the goal isn't to hurt your opponent but score points
...good lookin' out 👍
Thanks I want side kick sparring
need to setup an exhibition bout between Alex and Samery. I have Alex destroying her because of size advantage but you never know.
Someone actually proposed this to Dana White a while back (seriously) Lol But he was not interested
Plz help me

How to win an opponent who knows all your tricks
Use speed instead with alternate kicks then random turning kicks

Poor Bob🥺🥺
Alex, when did TKD become Tae Do? Because that's what it should be called now.
Next week is my sparring so, i need to prepare
Turkish caption pls😘💪☻
She can't hurt a fly with those kicks. She's no match for TaeRyong TKD.
Thats new taekwondo... the ugly one. Rip taekwondo
