Korean high school athletes (years 7 to 12) train on average 2 hour sessions four times a day, everyday. However, the intensity of the sessions differ according to the schedule of competitions. They will do more fitness training during the winter due to the cold weather, and more sparring in the summer.

their back kicks are amazing!, ive been doing tkd for about 2 years now, my back kicks are okay but compared to theirs, i need a lot of practice i wish i could have gone to their high school

Doing a full split takes much conditioning, and being quick on your feet is simply a matter of muscle memory. Apart from that everything will take time and experience. The best advice I can give is: Don't rush to attain something. Enjoy the experience of learning Taekwondo, rather than see it as a means to achieve superficial goals.

Thanks for the clarification. The reason why the taekwondo team doesn't exist at Sung Kyun Kwan University anymore is because their funding went to a different sports team within the school. It's a shame, considering the university only accepted 1 person per weight category for entry every year. Athletes would have more chance of getting into Yong-In or Kyung-Hee uni, but entry into Sung Kyun Kwan was close to a miracle.

i think that wtf tkd is one of the best martial arts for being a better street fighter because of the footwork it makes you light on your feet and able to make quick changes and notice how they seem to move so effortlessly.

This makes me want to work on my spin kicks more.

No. Essentially a Poom belt is the same as a Black belt, just with an age restriction. Poom belts turning 18 will receive a black belt automatically without re-testing for it.

Thanks for putting it back up ^^

taekwondo was created for war before turned into sport "this is a little of my knowledge about taewondo.." and taekwondo has the most powerful kick out of other martial arts. "not including kung-fu" thats why taekwondo fighters always wear those protection armors because they dont want to get organ damages or brain damages when get kick on the head or stomach, or the sides... ^.^ this is what i know so..please dont hate.

grande disposição e treino bem feito e preparado.PARABÉNS TURMA.

Very motivating video! Thanks for uploading again

unhh. the fin weight in the dark blue at the end of the video is really impressive. and he takes the kicks from the lightweight like a champ.

Hi, can you please upload more video's like this one? I love it!!

great footage, appreciate it

This is pretty cool stuff, makes me inspired to start my own thing at my school with there being 2 members in SKKU and them still being super motivated and skilled, unless that was just for training camp

Great vids. Thank for sharing. Waiting more of them soon ;)

Awesome Stuff. Much thanks for this. This small clip has help me so much. I wish I could go to Korea to train some day.

THANK YOU! you're awesome!

Hey there, You should tag the singers and titles of the songs you used in your description then it will not get removed. It will help!!! Awesome video by the way, the one with music was also good^^

Great video mate, hopefully on your next trip to Korea,you can go to my old uni for TKD - Yong-In or Kyung-Hee and Korea National Sport universities as they are the top for TKD. Sungkyunkwang is renowned more for academic studies like Seoul National rather than the quality of their sports teams - hence the TKD team of 2 people! Take it easy and all the best with your training!

just to clarify... korean high school and university athletes are training 4 times a day every day... how many sets of doboks do you think they would need if they had to wear a dobok for every training session? not only that, most of them are training to lose weight for competition so you'll notice that they're all in long pants (taekwondo pants) and long jackets, even in the summer.

Had that problem too, then I started too practice them every day and now I am totally fine with them - just do them as often as you can and I'm sure you will remember them perfectly ;-)

Nice vid mate! some great drills there...

Watching this video made me so happy! :D

and a black belt only means you can perform the katas and you understand the mechanics of strikes and blocks against an opponent so u will probably survive sparing in a sports setting but a black belt doesn't mean that you can fight

You dont have to know something is Taekwondo by watching it. All you have to do is hear "Bowwww owwwww baaaaaahoooowwww baaa poooww pa paaaa paaa bachooo bachooo paaawwwwwooooo owwww baaaa baawwww aaaaaaaa."

Very hard discipline to execute properly. Takes a lot of courage, time and effort. Requires you to invest yourself in it fully.

He's not an athlete, he was part of the normal taekwondo group for children. All kids under 18 get their black belt within a year. But you'll see that it's not really a black belt, it's a Poom belt. From the time they get their Poom belt, they'll remain that way until they automatically get their black belt when they turn 18, so it doesn't matter how early they get their Poom belts. By the the time they get their black belts they're already at the right standard.

Waw que calidad! desde chicos son excelentes!

LOVE the back ground music!

@Scott Lauder There are ITF schools in south Korea (ITF is North Korean Taekwondo) but they don't teach it at schools or universities.

Great video i have always wanted to train like that but never had the resources

at my school have taekwando and today I just learn it for the first time....

Hey, does anyone have any contacts for these high schools/university's? I used to train at Kyung Hee but the head coach left. I would be most grateful please!!

The Australian athletes train at Joon No's Taekwondo in Melbourne.

What the heck, are they building an army?

With all due respect to the wide variety of martial artists out there who are interested in this video, I thank you for your input. However I would just like to point out one thing. There is a reason why Taekwondo, and not Karate for example, is a part of the Olympic Games. Taekwondo originates as a martial arts, YES, however modern day Taekwondo is more focused on "Sport" Taekwondo. In this respect, asking why Taekwondo players don't use hand techniques as much as other

I agree too. Taekwondo is a great sport and its fun as hell too!! :) taekwondo for life!!!

what name of the background music 1:49? pls, is amazing Taek o/

"Better than me" by NLT

Great video

Korean athletes train all year round. Although the intensity of their training varies with the competition schedule throughout the year. This video was taken in the Korean spring time.

Please video about new style of taekwondo

nice video : ) where is this ?

As a practiconer of TKD, I must strongly object with you. Traditionally, in all forms of martial arts, hands were emphasized in practice and application. Legs are important, but if one doesn't develop the hands, one can easily be defeated. I have experience since I practice with my hands leaps and bounds more than most people in WTF and I will tell you, if we do a kickboxing/karate style match, I can easily dominate. A martial artist is to perfect everything: grappling, punching, and kicking

great video

during what season was this taken? The high schools don't train during the summer as well, do they?

i'll be there in coming couples of years.

Interesting. Do you think school officials would allow itf tkd to be taught in south korean schools or no?

really nice training

yes youre right

Respect 🙏

yes i do~ i was born in australia but my background is korean

Now leaning the head in is to coax an attack right?

I think I trained in Son In high school, I can't remember the name but it looks like the one, is it near-ish Seoul?
