    It's great to see young people doing martial arts instead of just playing video games and browsing social media. Good test all.

    Better than most TKD black belt videos I have seen, Dave, down below, claims McDojo. How many people toss that word out when they mean, not my way so it is crap? I think, for what it was, it was rather good. No matter what these people put a lot of time, effort and money into their art, and I think they did very well. Remember not everyone has actual combat or self-defense in mind when they train a martial art, there are tons of reasons why someone trains, least of all fighting. One thing I try to tell anyone who is negative on a martial art video, If you think it is not good, or any other negative comment, make a video yourself, post it and show everyone why it wasn't good, and how you could improve on it. Show your better than thou attitude rather than just typing it. Most, if not all, wont and can not.

    In my personal opinion, I always hated when parents and whoever else sits and watches a class when I'm trying to train, but I would especially be peeved if they were watching my black belt test or any of my lower belt tests. Go get yourselves a cup of coffee and come back in an hour or 2 LOL.

      It shows that the instructor has some openness about what happens in the club.
      That's no bad thing. There are too many martial arts clubs, with a closed, cult-like atmosphere, who operate behind closed doors.
      Bad practices need to be called out, and an open door to parents, guests, or prospective students is a good sign.

      Why not? Anyone on that degree should be able to do any tul in any order regardless the order. Could be done in purpose to confuse them and see if they are also "focused" and not just a choreography and movements "done by just been done"

    Why does the exam last so long ? I feel bad for the students . Especially the kata part. In other organisations , you need to show "only" 3 katas, one of them being your favourite one . Kata is extremely exhausting as it is .
    And then you ask them to do all these techniques, with so many repetitions. Poor guys. In other organisations , they ask for 5 to 10 combinations with 3 to 5 reps.
    So here you were basically testing endurance . There is no way they could deliver top notch quality techniques after more than 15 minutes of torture .
    You remind me of testing done in some kyokushin organisations where they put the students through insane drills like 250 push-ups and 250 sit-ups , even though you could get a perfect score at the army physical test by doing "only" 80 reps each, and pass with "only " thirty .
    Please look into making the test shorter, something like 30 minutes max. With less emphasis on sheer endurance .

    • @GMulticus
      @GMulticus 3 місяці тому

      I agree with the kata/tuls, I guess they could have requested the 3 tuls for 2nd Dan only and then 2 tuls for 1st Dan.
      But I don't see that many repetitions for the techniques. It's mostly techniques that need to be shown left and right.
      In ITF the exam typically consists of self made-up sajus, tuls, stepsparring, self-defence, sparring, breaking and some theory. Then, 30 minutes is too short for 4 participants.

      It's not. Perhaps you are referring to the Tuls being explosive? Tuls are often taught to be performed more slowly, nowadays for competition. That's not how we perform they - they are to be performed explosively, with intent.

    ITF TDK is way better than the impractical mess that is WTF sport TKD, but ITF TKD need to move on, back in 1985 we had Hee-il cho introducing ground fighting (hapkido) and BJJ into our TKD training in Ireland, but since then, overall, its not moved on one bit. Irish ITF format TKD is stuck in the traditional doldrums. The heavy emphasis on patterns, needs to be downgraded to optional, next get rid of the floor/punch up/keep turning my back to my opponent, floor fighting format, and shift to the ring. My path was ITF TKD-WTF TDK (for a while), then Mauy Thai, (Thailand) K1/BJJ. I look back at grading likes this, and they are still stuck back in 1980's. It's much easier to transition a good ITF practitioner to MT/MMA, than most WTF, but TKD needs to look towards towards MMA, and the sensible consolidation of all martial arts, to move into the future. The emphasis on courtesy integrity perseverance/self control, should be maintained, but the format/physical infrastructure of TKD needs to change, or TKD (both formats) will remain a mixed up/amateur semi effective traditional martial art. Good traditional IFT fighters, have potential to do very well n MAA competition, if TKD evolves to the ring, incorporates boxing/BJJ/MT techniques.

    Sorry to say their kicks are awful. The technique is not there. I don’t know why they move backward
    When doing those jumping kicks. I think it should be at the same place. Their jumping back kick are below the belt. Not good technique for someone who already got blackbelt and want to upgrade to 2nd Dan or higher.
    But i appreciate their efforts in remembering all those patterns and instruction for sparring.

    I guess I should qualify before commenting - I started training circa 1978 with Ernie Reyes West Coast Tae Kwon Do. Former instructor and demo team member. Please don't advance your students beyond a rank they have not yet earned. They will THINK they are black belts and end up getting hurt in the real world. I know girl scouts that are more dangerous than these guys. ATTENTION JUDGES!! Like a bad dog owner, it's YOUR fault they suck.

      Half agree, just a few points.
      Yes everything’s out of time, but not everyone has to be in sync in some clubs, some are naturally quicker than others.
      It’s not American it’s an Irish TKD club, and my club uses korean terminology when it comes to things like attention, bow ready or counting.
      The reason for the arms out to the side during attention I don’t know, it’s ITF (international taekwondo federation) which is different to WT (World Taekwondo) which is the more recognised one. I
      I do agree about the toes, but some clubs don’t take it as seriously as others.

The sport and froo froo watered down competition/forms (poomse) versions may use pointed toes, but the legit martial and self defense (hard) version most certainly do not.
