      I did Taekwondo tournaments in the past and 8 out of 10 times I came back with a price. Try to find your weaknesses and pay attention to it during your training. Also you should ask yourself what type of fighter fits you best. I am more a defensive fighter with backward kick as my homerun kick.

    Punching in light contact probably makes the biggest difference compared to full contact because the punches are not allowed to be penetrating by nature. Basically, this means that you only punch with the arm, not with the whole body. In full contact sparring, fights can change in one millisecond (in case of KO) which makes it exciting to watch. On the other hand, light contact sparring is much healthier for the brain :)

  • @OlliLeino_sportstuff
    @OlliLeino_sportstuff  11 років тому +8

    Good points. I agree that the fundamental techniques in the ITF are more of laboratory type of exercises than realistic fighting. Exercising patterns will not make person a great fighter (at least not using the current ITF free sparring rules) but rather contribute to physical conditioning of the body. Practising fundamental techniques also honors some Korean roots in martial art disciplines, such as Taekkyon. Modern sport has become very far from the traditional purposes.

      This video is a golden oldie :) I haven't been doing ITF videos lately. The last ones were from the 2019 Germany World Championships which are found on the official ITF UA-cam channel. I don't know if I´m going to do any ITF videos in the future because I´ve moved on to still photography. I´m doing just the opposite from the rest of the people and social media platforms :D But you never know if somebody asks to do yet another production (and time allowing). I got really tired of doing TKD videos, hard work and takes way too much time.

  • @OlliLeino_sportstuff
    @OlliLeino_sportstuff  11 років тому

    :) You might prefer full contact, and ITF Taekwon-Do sparring presented here is light contact. Strategically, these two differ quite a lot and this affects how techniques are performed. In my opinion, both full and light contact sparring are great to watch, just very different purposes there.

    I agree that sparring has become more or less light kickboxing. Prearranged sparring (also known as traditional sparring) was meant to demonstrate applying the fundamental techs. However, I haven't seen prearranged sparring with proper realism yet.
    The rules make how fighting looks like. I know there are many who are not happy with the current rules.

    At least I do get a good aerobic workout in pattern training :) Additionally, improving elasticity and core muscles, this way improving kicking abilities. I wouldn't say it's absolutely useless (I hope I'm not totally out of shape). Obviously, intensity is lower and there is no reaction time involved (which makes the major difference in sparring and patterns). Obviously, similar lower intensity exercises can be done in sparring as well.

  • @OlliLeino_sportstuff
    @OlliLeino_sportstuff  11 років тому

    If I may say, sport sparring in many martial arts is not necessarily meant to be a demonstration of real fighting but only one aspect in the whole fighting system.
    In general, sports are considered as games. Olympic status of a fight sport does not reflect it's value as a martial art discipline, rather it is subject to financial, political, and commercial etc values.

    Yes, it makes sense...it's different if you're fighting to score a point with strict guidelines, or kick someone's head off with intent. Although, I'm still not too fond about their striking in general at all, especially their punching, they're always jamming up so there is no flow what so ever to the movements. This is only my opinion :)
