this was trash, they didnt punched when they had the best oportunity, the white one was too strained, thats not how u fight, and belts have nothing to do with their skills

@@Techskills2077 White belts are noobs so, yes, that belt should have everything to do with it lol. Yellow should the the step right next to it, after the stripes(? dunno white belts had stripes)

​@@Techskills2077 Calm down it's just a video on the internet lmao

emi dl Hey, good luck on your exam! Its okay if you don’t know how to fight “well enough” - looking back at this video I had no idea what I was doing haha. Try your best during the cardio part of the exam but also leave some room for sparring. The instructors want to see you have the right basic techniques and most importantly control over your kicks and punches. Take your time and remember your forms! I’m sure you’ll pass your exam - give it your all! :)

Well im a yellow belt good luck

Hi I'm half green good luck don't worry when is start exam for break the wood at yellow I was so afraid never see the wood when you must break it gl

You’re doing well, keep learning your patterns and all the criteria needed and you’ll do well

I’m a yellow belt and my green tag exam is in a month, any tips?

the first exam is very easy you will make through

I'm only 13 and have been training for years and I'm a black belt as long as you put in hard work you will get through it all you will do well bro u got this 💪

I was either 19 or 20 at the time. Whether or not you should spar depends on if your instructor thinks you’re ready. Important thing it to have adequate control and a level of maturity when sparring. I may have started sparring as a white belt and yellow stripe earlier than some people but everyone has their own pace and like I said, will depend on if your instructor thinks you’re ready

yooo im only, 8 i have grading on the 23rd. Im soooo good!!! Im, turning into a yellow belt! Im Excited, im even gonna post a vid of it probably when you read this, its out already buuut im really, really, really, excited!

As long as it doesn't tire you out (why we train for two hours), your method is better lol Harder to fight a blender than a single knife.

I believe color belts are semi-contact until black belt tournaments. You can hear the ref say “light contact, light contact” after we exchanged some hard shots I guess haha. This was in Hamilton, Ontario in Canada so I guess it depends on the tournament, referee, judges, etc...

Ah, I must have missed the ref saying that! Thanks, I appreciate the info. ITF-style TKD has become an interest of mine recently. Are you still training, out of curiosity?

Safton Unfortunately I don’t train TKD anymore as I shifted my focus on competitive Powerlifting now. But every now and then I like to go back to my old do-jang and so some sparring. That’s awesome, you should find a good ITF do-jang and try it out! Have you had previous martial arts experience before?

Nothing wrong with that! Having known a few powerlifters, I've got nothing but respect for the amount of dedication and training that's required. I've always enjoyed learning about & discussing martial arts as a hobby, but I've never had the opportunity for formal training. I'm seriously considering starting up soon though (to get in shape as much as for the learning experience) as I plan to pursue a career in law enforcement. I don't know if it will be TKD, though; I love watching striking arts, but on a personal level I'm more interested in grappling. It helps that literally next door to my current workplace there's a fairly well-regarded BJJ school.

Safton Appreciate the kind words! That’s awesome man, you do whatever interests you the most! I think any type of striking art has a strong cardio component which will probably help you in law enforcement let alone the self defense component. Good luck with your pursuit!

White belts are unpredictable

He tried an back kick he blocked it by coincidence

Thank you! Looking back I see that I have so much to improve on and I cringe at this fight haha.

That's great that you're starting TKD. Neither is better than the other. It is up to your own preference. Do your reserach. Both styles are quite differeent in terms of pattern, sparring and self defense. From what I know about WTF, they spar more for the sport and compeititon. Less emphasis on patterns. ITF on the other hand, from my experience, teaches more realistic sparring as you're using both your hands and feet. Rules are less strict in compeition as you're allowed to punch in the head and face as well. On a more political and philosophical side, ITF follows the teachings of the original father of TKD, General Choi Hong Hi. In my opinion, if you want more real self defense skills and tools you can use realistically on the streets, stick with ITF, but if you prefer TKD as a sport then go with WTF.

Can you do both ITF for self defense and WTF for completion?

*unknown* If you're club teaches tkd like that. But I have never heard a club like that before. Both are good styles man, just look up videos on youtube and pick which one you like best. As long as you find a good club that isn't a "Mc-dojo".

Dluu22 oh thanks for the reply anyway idm which 1 i do aslong as i have fun and enjoy it thats the main thing

*unknown* No problem! And yes that is the mindset you should take. Regardless of whichever one you pick, you'll defintley have fun and learn some great things!

Mogu sparring in ITF is semi contact only and punches to the body and face are allowed (straight punches) 4 judges takes their own corner to observe the fight and count the points on either red or blue, once the fight is done, with each judge whichever color has the highest point raises it up and whichever color is raised up the most from 4 judges wins

@@briangonzalez6432 Why didn't the kid in blue win the bout? He was a lot more aggressive and controlled the duration of the match, and when the yellow belt attacked he defended well.

@@hanburgundy4317 Yellow belt still kicked on the body of the white belt which is 2 points while white belt missed most of them and made some contact on the body which is less than what yellow belt did, and kicks on the legs aren’t allowed in ITF matches so that’s why. Even tho he tried defending, he still got kicked most on the body. But it mostly depends on the judges view from each corner, they the ones that scores point on what they see and then they vote in which has the most point, the red sees red or blue for each corner, and whichever color has true most vote wins

I believe it was on points. Even though he made a few "body shots" on me I did defend it with my hand but judges that couldn't see from where they were sitting might have thought that it got my body due to the sound of the impact with my glove. It's okay! I don't t think I should have won, he deserved it. TK.

Dluu22 ya but you was better ;)

haha thank you.

Exactly what I was thinking 🧐

I’m still trying to figure where a clean strike was landed.

No, ITF and WTF are both types of Taekwondo. WTF is World Taekwondo Federation and ITF is International Taekwondo Federation. They have different patterns, focuses and philosophies. In a nutshell, WT is more for sport than ITF but ITF can be considered more practical and has a bit more of a focus on patterns. Those aren’t the only things but it’s a start.
