COOK is only TKD of the old school

indeed it is, his old school style of TKD is incredible.

Nice comment. Cook's really did the old way here. I thought he was doing Hwarang Do at the bout. 😂😂

yeah

@@Krononauta true

He's one of the best atm has been for a while. He fights beautifully even if it doesn't guarantee the win. Hence his move to the moldives I remember

Exactly ..Cook IS the best player of taekwondo ❤️

You can't be foreal taekwondo been on a down hill since the 2009 with these new rules there's nothing like 90s an 80s taekwondo

some people tend to use the modern style of TKD, but Cook stays with the old schoold style, you can see the beauty of combination, aggressivity and speed.

Try that then in rio...

Servet tazegul was the king in combination, see him now

for us professional in the 80's and 90's it was very normal flying like this, not sure what is happening now to TKD....it seems like much less acrobatic and dynamic

Sung Park definitely, it was such a clear and net hit!!

I agree

Well this is made in China hahaha

minute?

Wtf? Why that terrible kick did score?

it's because the sensors detect the kick, in this fight angle we don't see it.

the sole hit it

You have one of the worst angle for judging it...

@@irokosalei5133 if you slow down the video, tho only possible way that kick could've scored to the head is if it CLIPPED the back of his head, because the travel of that kick went straight past the side of his head with no visible reaction to the other guy at all. So if some crescent kick can clip the head or if you are allowed to modify the kick so that it can go back towards the head, losing immense power to the kick, then this sport needs some serious change. Sport. If only I can get my hands on some other angle to prove this...

Yes

Actually they are giving additional points for spinning kicks. Aaron got 3 for the headkick and 2 additional points for the spin.

what’s the point in giving an extra point for a KO? they’re unable to fight...that’s what knock out means 😂😂😂. and if you didn’t already know, Spins have gotten extra points for a while....ignorant people smh

Batfan 559 shut up

Yellow your mom !

he'd knock u out though!

Abdul Butt I

That’s cool bro, I wish I had a chance to share he ring with him

In tkd wtf we dont use punch

Abdul Hadi tkd kick tutorials 😐 yeah we do... he didn’t punch tho and still got the point

Lol Sensor

@@sleepinglex1698 he didn't punch but he is hit the spining kick and if you watch carefully Aaron Cook is exited.

@@tkdart3803 you do, its just not that pronounced as your kicks are but are considered in matches

Nghia Huynh the scoring changed already dude. jumping turning kicks to the head is 5pts now. you might have missed the updates?

Edmon Lacsa ohhh thanks I didn't know that. Plus the scoreboard registered "body" when they gave him 2 pts so I was confused. Thanks!

The Daedo PSS can register a valid strike but it can't differentiate between a normal kick and a kick which has a rotation of 180 or more. The default body strike value for a kick is 2 and the default head strike value is 3, the +2 technical points need to be scored by corner referees by pressing the appropriate trigger on their hand set. WT is trying out +2 for tech points instead of +1 at this event, and may implement it as a permanent rule change leading into Tokyo 2020 along with stuff like semi-finals and finals being 5 rounds as opposed to 2.

Thank you for this info.

+2 technical points for jumping/turning kick.

That's sparing and it's has some rules. When learning tae kwon Do we also learn some self defense and it's effective. No hate but just want to let you know these. Please tae kwon Do is no acrobatic it can also be deadly

Vaughn Xavier Werry Look. I'm a 2nd Dan WTF and no, it's not effective, at all... Look towards hapkido if you want to know how to tell the difference. Modern sport tkd is pure and utter crap. It's a great exercise though, just don't rely on it in the real world.

Because they arent worth many points only a proper taekwondo technique punch will score Aaron Cook did score at least one punch in this match and punching to the head is not allowed

Because this is a WTF and not an ITF

Lenny Ward seriously, this is taekwondo not boxing. Well,you can punch the body,only in the some condition.

Just one point if you punch, not worth it

He is unbelievably talented

Round kick on the head is 5 points. Sensors only can register 3 for head points.

@@PaulaAllTkd oh, I see. Thanks you!

Lee dae hoon -68kg Aaron cook -80kg

@@kmp96 I guess it wont happen 😅

@@kmp96 😂😂😂😂

not gonna lie I would love this fight if they were both in the same division, but they’re so far apart in weight that we’re never gonna see it

If you’ve ever seen how Aaron fights you will know that this isn’t “classic vs modern”...Aaron knows that he’s gonna outclass the guy, that’s why he did all the fancy stuff. Aaron beat him because Aaron is an absolute beast, and the other guy wasn’t even comparable...not because old school is “better” than new school

Ye, I don't understand too

I hate to break it to you, but competition isn’t about pretty fancy kicks. as well as Aaron does it, it’s not gonna happen. It’s funny how people say “oh I quit because the sport isn’t what it used to be”. you should be saying “I quit because I couldn’t keep up with the fighters who adapted”

@@raviduweerasinghe127 i hold a 3rd Dan rank in wtf taekwondo and I ran my own dojang for over ten years so I have a damn clue of what I'm talking about. When I started out, the fighting part was fast paced with a lot of spinning kicks, jumping kicks and knockouts. Then came the point deduction rule if you fell and the flashy kicks were just a memory. The thing that really killed taekwondo was the Olympics, people had too much to lose and suddenly everyone got cautious. Nowadays it's a bouncing starring contest while trying to hit an electronic fanny pack with your bit chagi. What you're talking about isn't adaption, well in a way it is according to the new rules, but to be fair is just a mutilated version of my once beloved art. I changed to MMA and Muay thai and not once did I have any regrets... And dude, stop liking your own comments, it's embarrassing...

@@Moodo76 I’m sick of toxic people like you shit talking the sport. with all due respect, I couldn’t care less that you’re a 3rd dan, if you can’t walk the walk then stop talking the talk. I fight black belts on a day to day basis, I’ve even fought 6th dan black belts. and I’ve beaten a majority of the “old school” black belts that I’ve fought. and guess what, I know you would hate to hear this, but I used my front leg to win. what a surprise. fancy spins and shit don’t work. it’s that simple. and don’t come at me like I’m some child who doesn’t appreciate the sport. I guarantee that I was more decorated in competition than you...at age 15. Ive trained with world renowned coach Juan Moreno, and many other decorated coaches, so I sure as hell know what I’m talking about. have some respect for the athletes that do what you can’t, and stop shit talking the sport you’re so invested in....

Thats what i tought too, im 1.83 too and my weight is 80 kg. The asian dude need more muscule

I’m 193 and I fight at 73kg. believe it or not, us tall people have a huge advantage when fighting in lower weight divisions. allows us to use our height ya know

dhieison portilho for WTF maybe but not ITF

May I ask why?

SGOD Nation just looks like he’s never fought anyone of Cooks level; also, Cook has been inconsistent at times, however, here he was “spot on”.

He shouldn’t have lost the way he did. He should’ve covered his head and been more active with his front leg as that’s what a taller fighter needs to do. he should’ve kept cool on the outside in his kicking range

Its a point based match so yes
