Highlights as USA's Paige McPherson wins Bronze in the Women's Taekwondo -67kg
during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art, which means "the way of kicking and punching". In taekwondo, hands and feet can be used to overcome an opponent, but the trademark of the sport is its combination of kick movements. Taekwondo is one of the two Asian martial arts included on the Olympic programme. Taekwondo made its debut as a demonstration Olympic sport at the 1988 Seoul Games, and became an official medal sport at the 2000 Sydney Games.

My teacher said that you should yell or scream when you kick or punch or whatever because it gets all the breath out of you real quick so if you get kicked it the stomach really hard it doesn't knock the air out of you. Or as he put it, "If there's no air in you, there's no air to get knocked out of you."
Who's here after the try guys olympic video with her?
It was great that later on in the match Paige fought back hard to win the bronze medal 🥉
@Riptor Ju its to increase the kicking power and to also get in the minds of their oppoents. mentally scare them and the win is yours.
What happened to the turning kicks...
Paige U R AMAZING
it's also to let the judges know who kicked as well
It's to focus your power as you kick. But yeah it sounds crazy. It's even worse when you're there in person haha
Well done Paige McPherson, u fought hard, to take the bronze medal 🥉, that’s a great achievement, winning 8 - 3
Leading in with a slow turning back kick, and failing to follow up with another kick is not a successful strategy.
Nada Que ver.con el carate
maybe bcz they are.
Why do they scream like they're dying?
