I prefer Old school TaeKwonDo because I grew up with it when I started at 7 years old. I'm now 30 and there's a huge difference. Not only sparring, but forms (poomsae/hyong) and the philosophy itself. These days, I feel like the emphasis is more on performance/show, sparring/competition and politics more so than the self defence part. But this might just be me and my opinion :)

I like the OLD Taekwon-Do bcoz it has more emphasis on power and rapid attacks + counter as well. They also put their hands up for blocking and they do punch although may not be punching as much as ITF Taekwondo version. The new WTF taekwondo focusing on "point scoring" aspect way too much😅😅 Btw, my friends and I looking forward to see your reaction and opinions regarding OLD/NEW ITF Taekwon-Do sparring. Thanks sensei😁

I prefer Old Taekwondo. I got shodan in TKD when I was young and that's the style I'm familiar with. However, I think NEW Taekwondo is heading to a good direction. A friend of mine actually continues the study of TKD and he is now an owner of a TKD school. Visiting his school, NEW Taekwondo has better training method compared to the Old days. It is safer and more uniformed than before (Poomsae is so much more uniformed now compared to the old days). The sparring nowadays focus a lot on speed than power because of the new point system. In the Old days, head and chest are all one point (thus, we practice double roundhouse A LOT, because we want to maximize our points).

Yes! It is about time s fellow martial artist pointed this out. Iv been pointing all this out for years. I started out in Tengu Ninjitsu and then studied Shito-ryu karate, Taekwondo, and Shorin-ryu karate. I started Taekwondo in 1997. Today we call it old school Taekwondo. The Taekwondo of today started in 2000, but not all schools taught it until maybe around 2003. I officially stopped training in Taekwondo in 2011 at the rank of 4th black and then a few years later I returned to one of the Taekwondo schools I use to train at. The head instructor pitted me against her champions who study todays Taekwondo. Their kicks were fast, but lack power. My kicks were painful. Towards the end of class the instructor told her students that I studied an older version of Taekwondo. Taekwondo has evolved for competition purposes, but has devolved for defense.

This is Korean propaganda that was developed after the Japanese annexation in order to remove traces of Japanese influences from the period following rise in reactionary nationalism. Tae Kwondo is a modern off-shoot of Shotokan Karate that was taught to Koreans who were conscripted into the Japanese army. When the annexation ended, these soldiers tweaked the art to focus on kicks and distance its performance from Karate. Same goes for Hapkido which is a derivative of Jujutsu and Judo. The idea that Koreans used Tae Kwondo kicks to take Samurai off horses is as ridiculous as it is unrealistic.

We usually spar without gear and full contact, though if you want to practice sparring for competition you usually train with gear on because you want to get as close to a real tournament as possible. We also do something that modern W.T.F schools usually don't, we practice conditioning a lot.

They are using their chest protectors as combat pads by using their arms to create space. Its a cool idea. I began learning tyekwondo in the early 80s, at around 6 or 7. Many of these videos bring back a lot of memories. Since then I've studied many martial arts styles. From all over, including South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, and even arts invented and shaped right here in america. In those studies, I've gained many interesting perspectives on the arts. Loved every minute of it. Even the painful ones. Learning traditionalist based martial arts taught in the old way. You can know one thing for certain, there will be pain, but its an invaluable experience that will give you an even better perspective on what martial arts were, and how they have adapted over time. And the pros and cons of both. I really was in sort of in the right place at the right time. My first master, was a Small South Korean ex-soldier who came over to America. 9th dan in tye kwon do. As well as a 5th dan in hapkido, and a 3rd in jujitsu. He was a great guy. Taught me many things. Even when it wasn't always profitable for him. He passed many years ago. He is still missed.

I am very impressed by your open minded approach to other arts. It gives me hope for the future. I've trained in ITF Taekwondo as well as a few other arts. Of all the martial arts I trained I tried to take something from each of them. Taekwondo taught me accuracy and power in kicks like I had never seen, their ability to snap a kick off is so impressive. Add to that speed their accuracy, you are trained to snap your head over the shoulder a milisecond and spot your target before you release the kick. Its incredibly hard to master but if you do almost no one can block the kick because its so fast. These students are exceptional; sadly a lot of the modern Taekwondo is too focused on point sparring so they do not train like this much anymore.

@johngrossman2180 10 ай бұрын

When training in '88 I went to a TKD school with several good fighters. The training was intense and for all the people who ask why someone isn't trying to block the kicks with their arms? the largest of the fighters, a light heavyweight broke a competitors forearm with a back kick which they tried to block by putting up his front arm. Truly an ugly situation. But it teaches us to roll with a strike, like a boxer rolls with a punch; and avoid the stronger ones.

Hopefully you found it useful in your own training. I minorly competed back in the 2000's at local CA tournaments. So many good and fast young guys. I was outclassed a lot of times. It's like a western showdown. The quick and the dead( metaphorically )! You see a lot of fast front leg roundhouse kicks to set up the opponent to be taken out by spinning kick or a back kick. It's more efficient than a reverse turning side kick. Another thing is to learn to kick going backwards to set up your opponent for something devastating like a reverse turning roundhouse or reverse tornado kick( an actual wheel kick going backwards ). My favorites! I'm much older and heavier now. The speed and the knees are gone but the foundation remains. Anyways, thank you for posting. You have a new subscriber now. 😊

And quickly changing the left and right stance, moving forward, placing importance on the fast roundhouse kick left and right combo.

I started in 1973, so 1997 to me seems still pretty new. Prior to the ITF Olymic style, Tae Kwon Do was similar to karate in that we also used punches including punches to the head. This had us keeping our guard up. Probably, in Tae Kwon Do then, we used more high kicks than traditional karate at that time (although later, we saw karateka also using high kicks more frequently). Gradually, rules were made to showcase Tae Kwon Do Kicks, so head punches were eliminated, and then came the ITF Olympic style where punches were rarely or never used. Personally, I think that the ITF style fighting changed Tae Kwon Do for the worst as fighters completely lost hand skill. When ITF Olympic style fighters go to open tournaments with karateka using their hand punches, the ITF fighters almost always lose because they are not prepared for fast hand techniques or close fighting.

A side note about the hip thrusting: As I was trained, almost every front oriented kick in TKD starts by chambering the knee up straight and forward. The idea is not to telegraph which kick you will use (front kick, roundhouse, etc) until you commit to it in the second phase of the kick. The hip thrusting helps offset the loss of power from not rotating the whole body from the start of the kick. Another small difference is TDK guys will usually almost always only impact with the instep or heel of the foot.

Total respect to you, Yuskue, for showing admiration for the skills of martial artists from other styles. What I have noticed over the years is that far fewer people are likely to make simple, naive comparisons between different martial arts as we all now know that no style is perfect and each has its weaknesses and strengths. MMA grew out of the need to combine the best of striking and grappling arts because of this realisation. It wasn't that long ago when every man and his dog would sneer at TKD saying it was ineffective, but now it seems everyone in MMA is trying to incorporate the deadly kicking techniques of TKD into their armamentarium. Like they say, take what is useful and discard the rest. I have been hit by kicks like the ones in this video and I can tell you they really do knock the stuffing out of you. It’s not so much the kicks that are unique to TKD as the way they are set up and delivered, as the video shows. One other point I'd like to mention is that "old-school" Tae kwon do refers to ITF (as opposed to WTF), which is the style I learned in the late '70s and '80s. My instructor was an All Army Korean champion and he drilled us pretty hard. The ITF TKD curriculum back then contained basic throws (as a part of hoshinsul) and we also tended to use our hands more, too, in close-up fighting and to bridge the gap prior to a delivering a kick, and as a follow up afterwards. I left TKD after it became an Olympic sport as I wasn't happy about where it was headed. I subsequently took up boxing and judo, but mainly because it suited my body type, my age and preference for close-up fighting. TKD has changed a lot since then, but I am not sure if the changes it has undergone have been good for it. But that's just my opinion, of course. Keep up the great work, Yusuke.

You should look at even older, 70s; when we would train to actually defend ourselves on the streets.

I'm so glad this guy does not pause the video. As a karate practitioner this really has me thinking do you Taekwondo folk do punch striking too? Or just kicks please tell me!
