LMAO The moment I saw the two boards at 7:03, I knew exactly what was going to happen. One was with the grain and the other against the grain. Good luck ever punching against the grain and winning.
@@Spartan-of8im Yes, Against the grain means against the natural way the wood is bending, meaning you essentially have to punch twice to bend it into a 90 degree angle and then hit through it. I would not advise anyone to try that
Kudos to Dan. That high kick at the end of his montage was actually pretty good for one day of training. I loved doing taekwondo as a teenager, but my family put an end to it just before my graduation to a blue belt. I was devastated.
Depends on the organization, in ITF (at least here in Norway) there's a minimum of 2,5 years between red and black, unless you're so insanely impressive that your tutor decides to award you two stripes instead of one
no, no no, if you get a black belt as a 12-year-old with 2 years of hard training then you are in mcdojo, kids don't understand what martial arts are. if you see a kid as a black belt then their dojo is a mcdojo. in my dojo and in any normal dojo age is also required to get a black bet, kids who have been training for 10 years in my dojo and are like 12-11 are brow, blue and green.
it really did shock me scrolling along to find a video like this. And on top of that, its British people being decently enthusiastic about something that's not British haha, but your right as someone who also does Taekwondo, i really appreciate their support ✌
@@drunkpunch7334 that really doesn't change anything. America and the west in general is very bias haha. its not like because hes American hes all of a sudden very honest or good
I did Teakwondo when I was in elementary school for maybe 5 years and was a black belt. This makes me miss it so much and want to get back into it. The self discipline it required but how amazing it felt to break a board, win a fight or win a trophy was ALWAYS worth it!
If Dan didnt have that kickvest tied around him, she would have landed a really stellar kick to the liver. At her tiny size with a 22 pounds per square inch kick, a liver kick would have him on the ground in the fetal position, green in the face and throwing up. I'd say she could definitely stand her ground very effectively in the schoolyard 🙊😱🤜🏻💥
Gav: Well, I think throughout this series that was some of the most impressive human feats i've ever filmed in slow-motion Dan: You talking about my montage? Gav: No.
God I hate when people bandy that about. Boards are still great training tools, just, like LITERALLY ANYTHING in martial arts, they shouldn't be used by themselves
Also worth it to point out that Taekwondo is an art style, not for self defense! It’s meant to look pretty and be performed, as well as instill discipline, but not actually fight. It’s incredibly inefficient, especially when compared to a style like Krav Maga which is actually made for self defense. I love Taekwondo, I spent 10 years practicing it, this is not a dig lol
Karate and TKD studios used it for years as advertising, to impress newbies and parents, deceptively. And the "pros" in the first episode were using it for dramatic effect, they might as well have burst balloons of glitter. Especially when Bruce said that, boards were tools of deception, not training. Perhaps you're too young to remember.
I have to give full respect to Dan for that flip. I never understood the technique. That little girl was so adorable. When she smiled her eyes and whole face just lit up the room. But DAYMN 7yrs old and kicking like THAT. She won't have any problems, fullest respect to her!
I took a Taekwondo class a long time ago. Sucked at it, but had fun learning some of the moves/basics. I've got mad respect for these martial artists/athletes. lots of dedication.
i’ve done taekwondo for 5-6 years and im a second degree black belt. board breaking is very hard the board breaking at the beginning takes a lot of training most people just do sparring but if you do poomsae or board breaking that takes a lot of skill and power glad to see taekwondo getting noticed
The *CRUNCH* when his feeble, fleshy hand of softness calmly yet smoothly disintegrates against the humble yet unyielding square carbon sponge. *Beautiful.*
"We need a TaeKwonDo expert who can kick" knowing that TaeKwonDo is a style that heavily relies on kicks for some reason makes that sentence funny to me.
Actually Korean women will not shake a western mans hands. This is Korean tradition. Probably best not to comment if you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Getting your first Dan is just the beginning for any martial art, to get 5th Dan and to do these things is a huge mental feat too. ...and I'm jealous Dan can kick up off the ground, still mess my neck up doing that 😑
Eoghan Myers Kinda late but I think in WT Taekwondo we see it more as like you learn just basic stuff as a color belt, but when you get to black belt you start your real training. I feel like in other martial arts you try to make it to an almost master level by the time you reach black belt.
Listen to the sound at 7:41, it looks like the bone is cracking. Also, that little girl is amazing, I mean, seven years old and two belts away from being a black belt! Kudos to her
Got news. Even if you hit the board gavin held with an axe it wouldn't break easy. Trying to break it across the grain direction vs with the grain direction. Rotate it 90 degrees you're have a chance
Just here to mention that Dan has a video on his personal UA-cam channel of him training with a UFC coach, in case anyone wants to see what he's really made of without montage music 💪
May I just say, not all black belts have only trained for around 2 years. For example, my disciple called sung moo kwan, if you start at 4 then you should expect to get your black belt around 15, because over half of the belts you need to have for at least a year before testing again.
Dan was channelling his inner David Hasselhoff for the thumbnail. No idea if I spelled that correctly.
im not sure how to spell your name either. is it Destin or Dustin?
@@Poobodoo Destin
@smartereveryday Hey Hey SmarterEveryHey
i thought of the poster for bruce lee's 'game of death'

Gosh, she's adorable. And deadly. Deadly adorable.
do you think Gav made Dan getting kicked by that kid into a GIF?
Adeadlable.
Adorably deadly
Just like love. Or cats
I honestly could probably barely manage to kick as high as she did and she's half my height lol.
6:33 the look of disappointment on the guys face is priceless.

I was looking for this
LOL i was thinking the same. but he is clapping lol. this is how it be

Is that how he broke his hand?
@@Spartan-of8im Yes, Against the grain means against the natural way the wood is bending, meaning you essentially have to punch twice to bend it into a 90 degree angle and then hit through it. I would not advise anyone to try that
His technique didn't help him either.
@@no-hr6rj So what exactly is the difference? They look very similar.
In slow motion you could hear cracking I think that was the board but later it showed his hand in some kind of cast so I think it was his hand.
Dan's already broken his hand once in the service of slow mo. he's suffered enough
Never!!!
What video?
@@azansnumber1fan668 the one with Tony hawk in it
Don't forget he's had glass in his finger, and burned his arm. Dan is truly a trooper
Dan's torn coat is his Purple Heart Medal.
6:36 that sympathy clap... Well done #10 well done.
It's a Korean thing.
Danica so cute and composed

I gotta say that Dan montage is pretty rad.
Kudos to Dan. That high kick at the end of his montage was actually pretty good for one day of training. I loved doing taekwondo as a teenager, but my family put an end to it just before my graduation to a blue belt. I was devastated.
Welcome to another episode "what happens with Dan's hand"?
Getting a black belt in 1-2 years is absolutely insane. Huge amount of dedication and training.
i've took 8 years to get my black belt hahaha. but we re not at the WTF like them.
Depends on the organization, in ITF (at least here in Norway) there's a minimum of 2,5 years between red and black, unless you're so insanely impressive that your tutor decides to award you two stripes instead of one
Or maybe a mcdojo
no, no no, if you get a black belt as a 12-year-old with 2 years of hard training then you are in mcdojo, kids don't understand what martial arts are.
if you see a kid as a black belt then their dojo is a mcdojo.
in my dojo and in any normal dojo age is also required to get a black bet, kids who have been training for 10 years in my dojo and are like 12-11 are brow, blue and green.
Took me 8 years at my school.
As someone who does Taekwondo, I appreciate you focusing in on Taekwondo and the culture behind it ❤️
it really did shock me scrolling along to find a video like this. And on top of that, its British people being decently enthusiastic about something that's not British haha, but your right as someone who also does Taekwondo, i really appreciate their support ✌

@@Subject__ its Gav, he's always been good. Absolute moron at times but good. Why make it about if they are brits or not?
6:42 - I love the irony of the fittingly low frame rate slow-mo kick at the end of the montage xD
Nahh mate, it was too quick even for the camera, the frames cant catch up
I did Teakwondo when I was in elementary school for maybe 5 years and was a black belt. This makes me miss it so much and want to get back into it. The self discipline it required but how amazing it felt to break a board, win a fight or win a trophy was ALWAYS worth it!
7:28
Me trying to do literally anything
7:13
Everybody else trying to do that same simple task
That’s the most relatable comment I’ve seen on this video
Right?!!!
Bro, I can't tell you how grateful I am that someone else feels like I do too
Atleast im not alone
The look on Gavin’s face at that moment explains Gavin also feels it.
The French translator translated the title into “How to jump 9 meters high in the air”..
Tutorial please!
xD
The german one too
bruh
It's not wrong.
Russian too. WTF.
you should record a sewing machine in slow motion from the top and bottom veiw to see how it sews

But he didnt swing her left arm out for more power.
*looks at thumbnail*
Well, Dan is NOT having a good time right now, is he?
7:41 the best moment of the video, you can almost hear Dan hand’s bones breaking.😱
SFX
I’ve been to there demos at Seoul. I’ve been doing TKD for 12 years and they keep elevating techniques I’ve never imagined
6:36 You can see that look in the member that Dan did a bad job. He just clapped for support.
Gav: Well, I think throughout this series that was some of the most impressive human feats i've ever filmed in slow-motion
Dan: You talking about my montage?
Gav: No.
Impressive, certainly, but:

And the dude in the video did it in a day?
Thank you gav, for being realistic and subtly exposing the pre cut wood
“Dan, do you want to show me your montage?”
“YES I do.”
Stare at screen.
Commercial starts.
Dan was in the military. Why does that matter? Discipline, patience.
Who cares? Idk, but I want to see him try to become a black belt :p
When i hear “kukkiwon” i always think youre saying “cookie won”
Surprised that not many people at all noticed how Gav just changed the direction of the wood grains to prevent Dan from punching through it.😂
He also didn't lock his arms while holding the board like Dan did.
That's why Baek and Hworang are the best players in Tekken
Don’t underestimate the political connection with Taekwondo in korea.
7:00 love that solid moment where Dan thought Gav was super strong
Dan shouldn’t always be the victim how about gav gets hurt
Uh huh ahhaha
"How's the hand?"
"Still a bit stiff."
I heard "The Cookie One Team"
I used to do Taekwondo and i was SUPPER close to black belt but i had to quit because of school.
Edit: I was red belt 3 Strip
7:37 my face exactly when i tricked my friends.... wait and watch them fall for it.. 🤭 😂😂😂🤣🤣
can we have Chilly Gruchy again?
I love the custom lighting the Slo-Mo Guys use for the Taekwondo team! Looks very cinematic.
"Back to you Gav and Dan" is the best part of every video
10 hrs a day training? That's more than a full-time job.
It’s government sponsored, and happens to be their national sport..
@@donwilber1628 That's right
It is their full time job though...
@@DREAMINGBLOOMING I know...I tested at Kukiwon :)
@@donwilber1628 Wonderful :O
Gav would be a great martial artist because he's so smart and is good at using his surroundings and logic to do stuff.
"Whenever you're ready, give me a good wack"
Wise final words
First
The *CRUNCH* when his feeble, fleshy hand of softness calmly yet smoothly disintegrates against the humble yet unyielding square carbon sponge.
*Beautiful.*
Little girl's kiai was adorable....even as she made perfect contact with Dan. Form was perfect.
"We need a TaeKwonDo expert who can kick" knowing that TaeKwonDo is a style that heavily relies on kicks for some reason makes that sentence funny to me.
That was a mean trick Gav. Dan's board had the grain running the wrong way. 😂
Even getting a 4th degree black belt was brutal but well rewarding.
06:27 - That was actually a really good kip-up. Nicely done!
Admit it... you went to most popular and scrolled all the way down to find this video
You guys didn't shake the interpreters hand! Rude! Lol
she was holding a pad in one hand and pen in the other
@@jso19801980 you're right. It'd be impossible to hold both in one hand. My bad.

Just manners.
7:45 can’t stop laughing at his reaction XD
I absolutely love how Gavins head works. This is one of my favorite channels on yt.

...and I'm jealous Dan can kick up off the ground, still mess my neck up doing that 😑

OK, honestly, Dan's kick in the last part of that montage was better than most of us could possibly do, if we're being honest with ourselves... 🙂
I have a Batman belt. I regret absolutely nothing.
Well I’m uh...... I’m an orange belt....
Almost a green belt though!
I've been a black belt for about 8 years now.
I even get to unbuckle after lunch.

Me:.... sweating profusely.
2 years to get a black belt is so quick! IDK what organisation they're with but in the ITA it's 6 years minimum
I live in australia and it took me three years to get my black belt.

Thank you for addressing the interpretator (translator) :3
I legitimately broke a knuckle trying to punch a board too thick. I feel for him.
The slow motion camera really does reveal those pre cuts in the wood, i bet the martial arts team didnt account for that
I myself have taken taekwondo for over 3 years and I have no chance of getting anywhere that impressive right now
"Remind me to never get into a fight with a 7 yr old" HAHAHA
Gav knew exactly what he was doing he was holding the board the wrong way lmao
Gorgeous! Your performance. First time to see slow motion it.
dan could feel the pain before he even hit the fake board
don't feel inadequate! i bet none of them know anything about ballistics or running a phantom 2511 at 27,500 fps!
Gonna be honest, I fully expected her to just swiftly kick Dan's crotch
Guys, never mess with these girls. They will teach you a lesson within a second. But it will feel like a 3 years challenge.😅
That's a cute smile from this cute little Taekwondo girl..

Dan asking a 7 year old to tie him up 🤔
i've just gotta say, Dan is so stinking adorable!
You did great, Dan! 🙌🙌🙌
The sound of Dan's knuckles crushing when he hits the board in slo-mo. Nice.
That bard switch was awesome 🤣🤦🏻♂️
That interview was pointless. You had an expert but asked empty question.
Let's be real we all wanted to see him get kicked by the head coach
Got news. Even if you hit the board gavin held with an axe it wouldn't break easy. Trying to break it across the grain direction vs with the grain direction. Rotate it 90 degrees you're have a chance
