That mindset 😤
Mindset of a champion 🦾
@@whistlesportshe never won an international title. 👐
Scoring system have ruined TKD.
facts. not even interesting to watch
More importantly they are mastering techniques that are ineffective in a street fight. In the early 1990s - when I started Taekwondo - you knew, as a black belt, competing in the US Open, if you made a mistake you were knocked out with a hook kick. Those days are gone - and the masses have moved to BJJ…
@@jkim8551 “mastering techniques that are ineffective to a street fight”. So what do you want them to learn? eye gouging? biting and scratching? No Martial Art can fully prepare someone for a street fight, cuz at the end of the day real fights have no rules and martial arts all compete within a rule set. There are some that definitely prepare you better than others.
These high level taekwondo athletes have the basic kicks down. Roundhouse kicks, back kicks, side kicks, front kicks etc. Which can help in any fight and are taught across most striking arts. These other techniques that they learn are specific to the sport aspect of taekwondo. You may think their kicks lack power etc but trust me… They kick harder than it looks. Occasionally you do get those tappy kicks meant purely to score but like I said those are meant for the sport aspect of the martial art
There are other aspects of taekwondo like hoosinsul which aim to teach more practical self defense techniques. They are still used by the South Korean military and other armies around Asia.
@@jkim8551no professional cares about preparing for a fantasy fight in the streets. If you think you won't get knocked out by most players today if you make a mistake, you're completely delusional😂😂. That front leg has enough power if hit in the right spots and serves the same purpose as a jab in a full contact fight
@@CorneliusBarththen don't watch since reckless brawls are more your thing😂
Half my life Gracie Brazilian Jiujitsu,, Street judo
Some years ago started picking up my MMA Mike Tyson peekaboo boxing some Mo Thai, some taekwondo, etc., Wrestling
Anyway, I really did. This video was super cool. I love the part about getting creative again and doing things that haven’t been done before.
One of the inventors, rare, bird
CJ Nickolas was the most entertaining fighter in the olympics by a clear mile. Rooted for him
Bro keep fighting. You were so inspiring to watch you fight and give it your all at the Olympics 🔥🔥🔥 you got Gold in LA BABY
What an explosive fighter. No doubt he will win the gold. May the force be with you.
It will be either him or the current number one ranked fighter from Italy. Either of those two are extremely fast and strong.
Nahh tunisia won semi final agonist him and we won gold@ MKillBill
Old School Taekwondo was legit nowadays Taekwondo is drained down in gutter!!!
Ah, another keyboard warrior :P
True
The reason everyone says old school WT is better is because the style was so different since at the very beginning it was all ITF taekwondo fighters at the beginning
@@kodyleek You think this is a keyboard? ua-cam.com/users/shortsqMfiFHNNhsQ
What kinds of videos do you have of breaking two hundred pound or heavier bags by accident with a playful punch not intended to hit hard? Or does your country refer to so-called heavy bags as keyboards? Over in Bolivia, they used six hundred pound ones, but they still never called them keyboards, so now I might be curious as to what a keyboard bag is. This is much lighter than the ones we used with the Royal Order of Korea and their version of Tae-Kwon-do.
There would be too many deaths during taekwondo fights if it didn't changed as it did. This art hides deadly techniques 💀
Mamba mindset fr fr I respect that ceej
let's goo gold coming soon
Tunisiaaaa 😂
Gareth Brown was my teacher so was his dad true legends of the sport
Olympic TKD is like taking a water gun to a gun fight .
Yair rodriguez
@@Matt-jc2ml wrong. Not even in the same conversation.
@@tonyvalenteyou don’t know much about modern TKD then. Sure we can get away with just touching the head gear to score points, but the athleticism we get from the sport is not something to look down upon. Just because you can get away with tapping kicks sometimes doesn’t mean you don’t know how adapt them to full contact
@@kermit1211 those flicky sissy kicks are best for kids under 12
So what? Is a sport like soccer or basketball, should people stop playing those sports also?
Legendary 🤘🏽
👐👐
Facts
I am a big fan of Cj Nicolas🇲🇦❤️
Esse garoto tem que entrar no MMA UFC. Vai ser da bem, ele tem o Taekwondo raiz na veia. É só treinar um pouco de jiu-jitsu .
Plz upload more videos about taekwondo
Legendary

Go for Gold!
Sir Carl alan nickoclas You are my Idol
Awesome bro
Goat
What’s your training workout plan?
What machines are thpse
So tough
Tunisiaaaaa 😂
身体素质最强的跆拳道运动员。
Good luck
Hey, ensure you stretch your achilles properly and explosive exercises with them ,so they will be use of those explosive moves. you should a face bar to protect your nose while in sparring. Work on none telegraph kicks and punches too. Hard side kicks will drop your opponents guards if they have them. Target your opponents heads, midsections with liver kicks. You have sparr. I live your punches. cardios should be incorporated while sparring practices. Nutrition is a most. Sleep is a most. Vitamins are so important. No Peds!
"It's very aggressive mindset" and most of them were just pussyfooting around in the Olympics minus CJ, lol.
To the people who are trying to bully tkd and the practitioners there some what right, but they have some flaws in doing so, as a tkd practitioner myself it honestly depends on the coach cause if ur coach is more on the modern tkd side then yes its pretty bad, but if the coach combines old school and new school fighting to their sparring and lessons then something can change
CJJJJJJJJJ
The exercises that you are doing are fine for the general preparatory period, but not in the special preparatory period or the competitive period, for they aren’t biomechanically specific to tae kwon do striking.
With his kind of training, he should try Kickboxing or full-contact kickboxing
❤❤
i guess Firas stole ur gold xd
Cj🤏🤏🤏🤏😂😂🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳🥇🥇🥇🥋🥋
get gold
Disagree on that title, but good luck at the Olympics. Not sure he will medal
I am would been your top opponent. I had speed like Bill Wallace and better on both legs and great punching power. I missed the Olympic in 1976 because USA did not go. I later won the 1988 Long Beach, CA World Korean Karate Light heavy weight Black Belt championship. I coached other karate instructors' students of other different styles to win karate tournaments, but you are a great fighter and you love it like i did.. Keep training. Oh, yeah, I still have speed in my legs but key is not to telegraph. Train, train with gear at all times. In practice get head gear that covers the nose while in training and use foot gear and gloves with pads in sparring. cardio should be done while sparrings. Running stifles your kicks. Watch it.don't do MMa. do movies. You need your brain for future stuff. CTe is serious. Keep at least one guard up near the temple lobe and tuck chin like Bruce Lee said. Pro Karate would be safer for you.
he never won an international title.
My man has his style down to a Mortal Kombat reference, he’s unbeatable.
So did he win gold?
No he lose in bronze medal match ,so no medal ,but he won 3 fight in 2-0
I dont get the title. What makes this kid the toughest??😅🤡
Watch the video or his fights? But if you’re not fully convinced go spar with him
@@kermit1211 Don't mind him. He Is a dancer
@@innomine5126 The green beret I've known for decades never danced; many of his fellow troops killed enemy soldiers in hand to hand. Is dancing what y'all do today in place of combat training? Curious as to why "dancer" comes to your mind first and foremost when speaking of fighting. I usally think of the LORD God of Israel.
!!
fiars katoussi the best 🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Wth happened to taekwondo?
ndoooo
Get this man in the ufc
Come on, we all know just tkd is not nearly enough. He would have to do a lot of catch up.
Bro for that he will need to up his grappling game.
@@baseer8000he would also need to do some actual striking,hes behind on boxing,elbows,knees,leg kicks and actual powerkicks
@@Pipodecatan agreed,
He also needs to work on his striking.
It’s vastly different. He’d have to adapt his skill set for the mma ruleset.
Plug your God given soul into heaven, not into yourself.
Ring? What ring? 😜 Current WTF Taekwondo is just a joke ..... more foot-ballett than actual fighting imho
this didnt age well
WORLD TOUGHEST TAEKWONDO PLAYER🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋
GOOD MORNING JI 🙏 🌄 ☺️
El taekwondo de hoy es una mierda, el old scold si es taekwondo
I would appreciate if you could not curse; if you cannot control the tongue, you cannot control the body. Most South American old-school boxers I've met see cursing as a sign of weakness, incompetence, and ignorance even when they punched six hundred pound bags sixty hours a week. People from Brazil next door were terrified of them even back then.
😂
TKD got no hands, they lose to all other martial arts in a fight
Won all my kickboxing fights as a TKD guy 😅.. But I trained hands a lot, there’s a couple of TKD guys that can punch… But I agree with you, not many can and most blow their steam trying to kick too much against other martial artists
whats the point of this comment… Do you want every competitive martial art to look like kickboxing? Every martial art has its own unique identity and history… Learn to respect it.
And before you bring up the ‘TKD won’t work in a street fight’ argument… Taekwondo has different aspects to it. Theres the sport aspect which is known ti many and the practical self defence aspect called hoosinsul which is still used in the Korean and many other Asian militaries.
Also no martial art can fully prepare you for a street fight, unless you find one that allows biting, scratching, eye gouging, groin kicks etc. There are definitely some that better prepare you than others but never fully.
boxing has no kicks but I don't see anyone complaining
If you are referring to sport tkd/ITF/WTF/ATA, etc., they have no idea how to punch these days. Even worse, they cannot defend against double leg takewdowns at all. A boxer learned in seconds how punches alone are dangerously effective against people faster than Khabib using takedowns when done properly, no matter how they set it up and regardess of the height involved. I use that for the students that take boxing as a reminder that you don't need grappling or kicks to be dangerous; punches alone kill when done properly, bare knuckled like we do all the time or not.
I don’t see any applicability to the cable punch exercise, in which you are kneeling on the ground. Kicking and punching power comes from the legs and rotation of the body while standing up. Get rid of that exercise!
This exercise is to increase the power of punches by strengthening the core muscles, responsible for stabilizing the body and for rotation, and the muscles responsible for extending the arms. Punches are not just about the legs, there is a complex biomechanics involved that covers the entire body. That's why it's important to do exercises that isolate certain areas to strengthen specific muscle groups.
this guy is a " show off " , seen enuff first 3min's . Hey , watch Rodger or Pacman !!! Humility is the best medicine as a professional sportsman !!!
If you think you know him after 3 minutes, you have no clue. This guy is the number 2 ranked fighter in the world and can hit hard and fast enough with any kick to knock you out. Trust me, I've seen him in action firsthand on numerous occasions.
CJ blew it. pretty lame
His technique isn't good for his level, and he would lose 10/10 times if he fought a 1980s or 1990s TKB Black Belt who was in his fighting class, today.
I'm sure if he was trained during the good old days, he would be an outstanding competitor.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
😂😂 3:27 “it’s a combat sport it’s a very aggressive and confrontational environment … we try to replicate that” - and they are barely hitting each other 😂 no power behind those kicks at all. Nobody’s wind got knocked out. Pfff.
My good this is poor sport nowdays! In 90s we were kings.
We were warriors. This is a joke
So boring. What happened to taekwondo
Go to ufc bro 😂🤣😂 try your luck
Bad enough that the UFC is a game, but this modern Olympics can't even be called foot-tag anymore because that would be giving it too much credit. Why are the vietnam veterans in their seventies far faster and much mroe dangerous than the showbiz fighters? Not even george foreman could hit nearly as hard or as fast as memebrs of the special forces from that time, and they know how to do much more than punch. A non-special forces member (U.S. Army from the Vietnam Conflict) immediately reached for my jugular in an attempt to rip it out, and had a counter to my counter; thailand muay thai is people toying around in a game compared to that alone, but the man who trained with the ROK Army in tae-kwon-do instead went for trying to immediately break my neck in two and also had a counter to my counter, though he was far faster and his knuckles had thick calluses on all of them. They were all defeated, but ROK soldiers in the White Horse and Tiger divisions were the only ones that came remotely close to what we do, and still nowehere near for One reason they lacked: Obedience to the LORD God of Israel.
The fact people are so proud of this kind of sport is a terrible thing for Taekwondo as a martial art. Also if you are a professional Taekwondo fighter why are you in the Olympics? Isn't the Olympics for amateur athletes? I guess the Dream Team of basketball ruined that but who is paying you for this? I don't see any pro Taekwondo fighting championships anywhere often.
this sport is so ugly
Almost unbearable for me. Even foot-tag looks better than what it is now.
Aint no one care about taekwondo LOL... go do real fighting.
Says the guy who doesn’t even fight
@@kermit1211 Settle down Kermi.. I have x4 amateur mma fights which is x4 fights more than anyone who "fights" TKD
@@JSnipes-nb7uy sure🤣
I don't really care if you believe me little guy. Like I said... settle down kermi.
@@kermit1211Just checked out ur channel... u play RPG's LOL what a cool dude, you MUST know more about my past then I do then!!! Clown town Kermi.
same arrogance as Steven Lopez, all good until someone rings your bell and you're getting the 8 count. Not feeling those hoppy jumpy double kicks, or all of his kicks overall.. they look weak. I never needed to hop that much doing my double and triple roundhouses. This new style of TKD is not what it used to be and should be, it's a bad scoring system and the matches are lame.
Is this karate or wrestling I do karate and wresting and boxing
Hes not the greatest tkd at all
