Great video as always.

Kombat Taekwondo will be the future of TKD.

Love the channel! But thugs materializing out of thin air or from sewers is a real problem in my country, so you better take that into account before generalizing. Greeetings from the mushroom kingdom!

Hi Sir :) love your Videos :) very cool , with regards to the different ( organisations ) of Taekwondo, I study ITF ( but ) love watching the Olympic WTF athletes do their thing:) ❤and yes different instructors ( I’ve learned under 2 different ITF instructors) they both have different teaching methods and grading methods

Itf for the win

I've been practicing for 2 and a half years now. From jacksonville FL, our organization is GTMA

In Koryo, the stepping side kicks step in front as opposed to behind. What are your thoughts on that choice?

Hey sir I love your videos ....My master is tecahing me ITF for the style and fighting traditional way too because he is 53 but the forms are from ITF WT and i forgot the other system😂 have a good day sir

Hey thanks for reading my comment. I’m basically famous now. What kind of royalties are we looking at? 😂 I didn’t mean to imply because kids do TKD that it’s only for kids. I would completely agree that’s not true. I was just trying to be brief but that didn’t go super well. TKD is the only martial art I’ve seen that offers “family” classes. Meaning there’s no age requirement. Just anyone 6 and up are in the same class. That’s far from an optimal way to learn. My comment was mostly relating to the TKD schools that make their facilities or their advertisements look like a daycare though. There’s 4 TKD schools in my metro area and 2 of them have cartoon characters painted all over the walls and in their logos. The marketing is geared directly at parents of young kids. They don’t compete at all and have twice as many kids classes as adult classes. I’ve done drop in classes at all of these schools and there’s without a doubt a difference in the adult audience. These “cartoonish” schools I’ll call them have about 5 adults and they’re all parents of kids there. Imho those schools didn’t feel very welcoming to me as an adult over 30 without children. TKD seems to have a high number of schools that choose to represent themselves in a way that is uninviting to the average adult. MMA is kind of the opposite end of the spectrum. Most mma gyms have rock music on when you walk in, there’s fight gear for sale, and half the guys in there are covered in tattoos and shirtless. They frequently don’t seem super inviting to the average adult just looking for a good workout or to try something new. A lot of them still have kids classes though. There’s definitely a middle ground to be had. Right now as a whole I don’t think TKD does a great job including adults. Just my opinion based on going to the gyms I’ve visited over the years.

For topic Tuesday what should you look for in Taekwondo school as an adult I’m a 3rd Dan in Tang Soo Do and my school closed and looking for somewhere else to train no TSD schools around but a lot of Taekwondo schools or places marketed as MMA gyms kickboxing/BJJ thanks in advance

Can you suggest practice exercises my 9 year old daughter can do on her own, since she will be missing a lot of classes since she will be spending a lot of time with her grandparents this summer? I want to make sure she doesnt lose her momentum. Thanks!

I can NOT stop over-rotating for a back kick. I am being advised not to look over my shoulder, that it would help me keep my shoulders and hips squared. What do you think? Do you have any other remedies, or exercises I can practice?

19:01 I think that's correct, that's why the stance is hunched over much like a Wrestler/Jiu-Jitsu practioner. So even before Jiu-Jitsu (Kano Judo) came to Brazil, Capoeira already existed.

The Kukkiwon certainly now certifies instructors if they want to test 2nd dan and above. (WTMU)

Some people I have talked to about taking taekwondo classes say it’s not fulfilling or fun, but it of course takes work to find that fulfillment and fun. With that in mind I ask, how would you explain taekwondo classes to someone who doesn’t understand the benefits of practicing it, and why some people practice it over other martial arts?

Nice try! The moment the sewer people catch you slipping is when they get you! Never let your guard down around sewer pipes! Also, it's been a pleasure being here with you and everyone else. I don't have much to ask nowadays since I still don't have the time to sign up for another class but it's always nice to listen to your videos.

I do ITF and their are numerous organizations but to be honest I don't train with a dogmatic approach and I'm open to learning WT , ATA and even Tong so do. I'd like to do Kyokushin Karate as well having previously trained BJJ and still train Boxing along side my taekwon-do. Bottom line is the martial arts are great and theres tons to learn from all arts.

Disclaimer: This is not an attack on Atheists/Agnostics or any religion. As a fellow Christian, do you think being a believer would make someone a better TKD practitioner (or any Martial Art) than if they weren't a believer? I feel like being Spiritually strong can help assist one's skills. Now obviously if someone prays before competing in a fight, that's not a 100% guaranteed win, but I feel like God or whoever you believe in could instill some form of confidence giving you a slight edge. Perhaps you or someone you know within the TKD community have experienced a miracle? I know this question sounds far fetched so I don't blame you for answering.
