He never ran out of gas ... his goal was always from an early age to become world champion ... which is exactly what he achieved ... he had nothing left to prove to himself ... his retirement was planned on this fact ...

@@Finke. right there that makes me a bigger fan of super kick. He achieved his goal and that is enough.

😂😂😂

Too many rulesets, too many world champions, and too much politics.

that is because they want you to associate blonde whte with evil. you will never see a blck guy do a bad character..pure brainwashing

@@ToddTommow damn must suck to be you :/

@@ToddTommow Yes cause black men in particular aren’t stereotyped as drug dealers, gang bangers, women beaters, and every other type of miscreant in movies and media at all right?

Plot armour won't save his opponents this time

Its the hair

To be truthful my idea of taekwondo and karate is that it can be impactful but not for point fighting. I can't believe most dojos, dojangs, succumb to a newer friendly organization. If you really want to learn things like this you have to take hits and find out what works and improvise. I'm not paying hundreds even thousands to have an hour mini work out without much contact.

Thats not my thing! love ITF beter.WTF Tae-kwondo have no tulls...Always that helmet and bodypanser with sparring ...And no hand blows to the head .And it is les realistic fighting than the ITF. Becorse the have no fists to the head..The kick dollio chagies /roundhouse kicks left to the body than the other side...switch switch..Left,richt,left,Richt.Than there standing frontal with there body..And always open for dwitchagi,s/Back kicks, yob chagi,s/side Kicks Bandall dolio, s or a plane fist in the face or body...And yess ITF is sami contact.But to win with a NOCK OUT is compleet LEGAL in sparring And fithing on Championships. But the ONLY difrent thing is ...that we cant score a nock-out in the face with the Back hand.!!!! Frond hand is oké to score a Nock Out!!! In fighting stands THAT is...Head or bodykick Nock-outs are LEGAL in ITF sparring & Championships. Only padding gards in a fighting match are teeth gards,a ballsgard.And 13 ouns feethpaďding and 13 ouns hand pads/gloves....Its the original Tae-kwondo form foundet by founder General Choi Hong Hi.The original founder of Tae-kwondo. And ITF Tae-kwondo is a Marshall.art.WTF Tae-kwondo made there own style..Toke off the tulls/style/forms Theory....And made it a SPORT, Only reason is....That the now are oké to compeet in the Olympique Games.That was the hole reason to change it.So i prefer the original I.T.F Tae-kwondo form..And / W.A.K.O Kickboxing style.Think Wonderboy U.F.C style..😉😜 Same story same rules😄😉👊Taekwon👊!!!!...Hihi a hole story !!! And sorry for my bad English..I,m from the Nederlands, so i think there are mutch mistakes lol.But i 💯❤ the fact a Tae-kwondo Champion kicks ass in the Ring with 17,ouns BoxingGloves✌👊

That picture i put up a hi sidekick..Was One off the last times i went to a Open Championship..Still miss it😞Always had good times with my teacher Grand Master llllX Willy van de Mortel & Tomaz Barada 3x i.T.F Tae-kwondo World Champion .Also 5x European Champion I.T.F Tae-kwondo .And 5x W.A.K.O Kickboxing WorldChampion.Always had GOOD times.with these man/friends. 🙂✌👊KWON

@@derek4986 your brain health wont like getting hit. Medical bills are more than handreds thousands

Taekwondo (at least my my dojang) emphasized on the dexterity of both legs and how to fight on both orthodox and southpaw

@@Logan-zv4xg not true. He means kicking with your lead leg without switching stances. Switching stances and kicking with your rear leg isn't the same thing.

Off the front foot! Is amazing watching someone roundhouse to the head off front foot, then change stance and land it again using off-foot. Brilliant

@@Kettvnen Yess.Very treu!..My I.T.F Tae-kwondo teatcher Grand Master Willy van de Mortel IIIIX ...always says...Youre GOOD leg you must train hard..youre bad leg you must train dubble so he,s get as good haha...But treu!!!He,s always right.Always Nice times training with Tomaz Barada.He was the BEST!!! Greetz from the Nederlands 🙂TAE-KWON!👊

@@Kettvnen Right, In Taekwondo and Capoeira you end up becoming a “Switch-Hitter” or ambidextrous

🤣

What would be your rank?💭 Zero..

There is no zero in mullet style divisions!

@@Turco949 I am🤭

Can please how popular was Kickboxing that time

Yess treu.!!!!..it,s a joy for the eye to use some SpinningKicks sidekicks and jump kicks 😁😜✌

its scientifically been proven to have the most powerful kicks, if you know when to use em, you can just devastate

Serkan Yılmaz was at a similar level around that era ... TKD techniques are identical to watch with astonishing power from both fighters ...

Steve Vick was interviewed and he rated his fight against Hector Pena as his toughest, decision went against him and he doesn't dispute it, points to him for not making excuses and also giving his opponent credit. You rarely see that, definitely a guy who's worthy of respect both as a competitor and for his humility.

If you watch old Taekwondo training videos from the 80s, it was way more intense.

I agree. Andy hug sticks out too...notably with the knee to axe kicks combination but super kick vick just makes me proud to be a tae kwondo black belt WTF poomsae.

You gotta realize that every moves that are considered to be 'high risk' are only so because the person who tries them suck at them. The better you get at it the less risky it will get for you. This is why TKD does indeed work, you just need to be good at it, which is pretty much true to all martial arts btw, but for some reason TKD gets a lot of shit lately.

The way he uses them it's low risk high reward . He has great timing ,speed, placement and range assessment.

@@edwardfessenden9490 you could tell his boxing wasn't his strong suit so a lot of dedication from his tkd background definitely shows. Disciplined. Unlike Benny whose hands were better than his feet except for the legendary jumping spinning back kick. Tkd is can be effective but it takes time and a very good eye to find the opportunity outside of the ring.

He's got very good boxing skills too, if you noticed. There's nothing wrong with a high kick if it lands 😄 His opponents mostly stood there and did nothing to dodge 😆

James Campbell he’s a legend. But now retired and has a successful business empire in Australia

James Campbell just check on google, “Nexus private wealth management Australia”. Steve Vick is the CEO of the organisation

because he only really fought in aussieland but was not part of the MT camp so he fought a bunch of lesser talented karate types

Omega Doom nah, he fought with Thai fighters and his major loss came with The Aztec warrior. Hector Pena
