taekwondo should have an event like karate combat

Yeah just like music, sports, and entertainment.

@@Kzany42 yes they should!!

Kyokushin karate still uses knees

@@Kzany42 you realize that taekwondo has the same punches as karate but do it becoming an Olympic sports they changed the rules where they mainly or morso use kicks so it wouldn't look like karate ,

He is the why I started taekwondo and kickboxing

That axe kick

@@user-do3km6uv5e he was just splitting people in half with that

I'm disappointed that we never got to see him step in the octagon

Now that I think about it that he would of crushed it in that newer karate combat thing

Is not, but that song is good

No,this is adrenaline rush

Never gets old.

F-ck yeah

MMA is restricted fighting sport- not really a street fight

​@@Me-zx7kkrestricted as a sport but deadly on the street.

@@brucele2776how is it deadly if it is only a sport?

@@frank6401 as a sport it is not deadly be cause you must fight with in the rules when you are in cage. The referee will stop the fight before your opponent die when you rear naked choke your opponent. The referee will stop you before you break your opponents joints and bones. The ref will warn you every time to poke the eye, strike the groin, strike the throat, strike the back of the head, neck and spine. But in the street an mma fighter can use all the martial art he learned and use it to depend himself and kill if he want.

@@brucele2776 why do you think only mma is deadly in street fight? Based on you resumption watching too much mma? MMA is new it s just mixed of here and there like salad. In the ring a judoka , a wrestler only with his own style without striking has beaten mma fighter , so it s all relative, too much mixture of style can backfired.

More like when men were men...that's what all it comes to.

​​@@sebastianisakovic6527Risky a CTE for a little of money ???? They doesn’t get paid well like UFC Fighters or Boxers to risky their body in this level.

Interestingly, Andy Hug (the fighter from 2:38 onwards) also was the martial arts supervisor for Street Fighter 2 the animated movie. His name is in the credits.

The best

I can agree with that. I competed pretty regularly and I remember in the mid 90s karate was something to marvel at. Most youths were on my level (I boxed and did Chinese Boxing) when it came to skill and prowess. I was at a tournament in '02 and just thought to myself: what the hell happened?! Black belt used to mean something. Now, a "dojo" could sell a 4 year program and say "ok you're a black belt." I used to spar with this kid, his instructor stopped caring about giving belts out when they were all on that cusp of black. He would say to them, "if you want one so bad go buy it." He was old school like my shifu, I respected this kid and his sensei. To them it wasn't about a belt or a title, it was about teaching something that could save your life or make you a better person. Thanks to social media, I have reconnected with him. These lessons we were taught, they've stuck with us our whole lives. Please excuse my paragraph hahaha

Already happened with Tae Kwon Do

Well it up to the style i know guys holding black belts in kyokushin,ashira and shidokan and they are legit.

Frauds and soccer moms ruined it. They'll do the same for MMA and BJJ.

Luckily, there’s not that many McDojos here in Europe and most Karateka I know can at least do realistic sparring and point based Kumite, but full contact fighting like kyokushin, Seidokaikan etc is something else. Those fighters would destroy me for sure, and I have a third degree brown belt.

Kudo too​@@atshabal

@@XXNerdzillaXXtrue

It was like this, but not anymore.

Yes 🤣🤣🤣

He was going to put salt in his pants the next round

The Muythia guy chuckle that was my thought to. Think his name was rico nm its Paco

@@Desh681 lol

Kyokushin, Enshin and Ashihara. Brother arts, really.

Go hadou

Never stop fighting Oss!

You could its just less efficient to train people to do that.

Was much better talent and more realistic before. Now all real fighters go mma or muay thai didnt have those options before

Wouldn't get away with the ax kicks as much.

You do still see some amazing kickers in the MMA, but the MMA rules allow for submission techniques at close range - these options discourage ranged kicking. If the rules are setup for kickboxing, then yes Hug, Van Damme or Chuck Norris would still do very well.

I did Taekwondo and found it to be an incomplete art, however coupled with boxing or kickboxing(my base) it is really great for foot work, distance and of course kicks

​@@leroilapue15 I think you are right.

​@@leroilapue15Yeah. Taekwondo kicks, crosstrained with boxing and some muay leg kick notions is a great set of skills.

Taekwondo championships during 70-80's was very much like karate kickboxing, with punches and KOs

At least TKD is full contact unlikes sissy point sparring only @@leroilapue15

Just have the fighters put on gear

​​@@dylanplumley280That's Oyama ideia and they do this in Kudo Karate.

Who?

@@themacocko6311 Andy Hug

I agree

Agreed.

You dont know who Andy hug is,former K1 Champ.
