TKD Fight Sampler

[Inkrepid]

Soo...I had my first tkd tournament ever a few weeks ago. It was my first tournament ever as a black belt, and first ever fighting as an adult. It was pretty fun.
Since Im sure not all of you know WTF TKD Rules, its no head punches, no strikes below the belt, and its basically continuous full contact win by points or K.O.
It was a good cool tournament, fun times.
Im a lot better now btw haha, It was my first time so I hadnt quite figured out the whole groove of how TKD people fight etc,but I got the hang of it now, its amazing what a little experience can do for you.
I used to be a point sparrer btw.
I got first place too.

My ghetto school doesnt allow youtube uploads, but Google Video still works for whatever reason.

Oh and for those of you wondering, hands are pretty much pointless in wtf tkd. They rarely score, and no one wants to pointlessly punch people in their chest protectors all day long.

Haha Nice! Congrats on the win. Those were some good head shots you were handing out. Since WTF only requires forearm guards and no gloves, you could work on your explosive punching power cause I have had people punch me and I feel it through the protector especially if they don't have gloves on. Nice Job.

haha my coach was like back kick back kick back kick!!! Id be like ok ok im gonna do it and get all pumped up, but it just wouldnt come out. Like I said...Im a lot better now. I started drilling my back kick and jump back kicks like crazy. I was also tired....reallly tired, whichhad a lot to do with why I couldnt back kick, I couldnt do it because I wasnt comfortable enough to do it at such exhaustion.
Since I returned Ive been biking and jogging working on endurance tonight etc.

I went to my old studio tonight where I used to train, before I abandoned them. I nailed a kid in the face with a jump spinning back kick haha, it was so satisfying first one Ive ever landed.

hey, i'm the exact opposite....WTF continuous style for me, but when i moved to Kentucky, the only Tae Kwon Do school here is ITF and they use point sparring. I went from one to the other. I know it's hard to change from one to the next. Hands are killing me in point sparring, but i kill them with my kicks! I take it you're the blue. Pretty good defensive spinning hook!:good:
