Thank you very much. Been training for 50 years. Had the fastest and strongest kick all the way to being 45 years old. Then injured my right knee skydiving. WASNT bad but got worse over time. Eventually had to have it replaced. Broke my hip at 7 years old. Had no issue till I was 55. Now I struggle with arthritis in my left hip. Can only chamber my left leg at a much lower level. So kicks are difficult for me. Why I focus so much with my hands and short lower level kick. But your video did give me so tips on getting my kicks back. Thank you. I study Shaolin Kung Fu. Shotokan,JKD,and Aikido. Thanks for the kicking tips.
Thanks for the kind words! I feel for you, I also have arthritis in one of my hips along with torn cartilage on each side. My kicks aren’t what they were a few years ago. I’m looking into stem cell treatments. Good luck on recovering your knee!
@@tkdguide The knee is great. Hip sucks. And it’s because I’m to lazy to stretch. Why I started Yoga. Which is the foundation of all martial arts. Yeah. Getting old a bitch. I’m 68. But still in good shape. Just need to be more disciplined on stretching. But will more likely need hip replacement in 2 to 3 years from now. Lost cartilage in hip. Keep training my friend. It’s just good health.
Just finished working on your training techniques. Just what you pointed out has help me find those muscles that are very weak. Thank you. Really great instructional Video. My kick were just as fast as my hands. Billy Jack Kicks. Bruce Lee Kicks.
@@fitandlearn3888 it depends on your specific conditions and what is causing your BP. Working with a physical therapist in conjunction with your martial arts would be my advice. Best of luck to you!
Hilarious! We love these entertaining AND educational videos. Your balance of taking martial arts seriously in class and not too seriously in the videos is perfect!
@ The intro, I only have less than a couple months of experience with TKD when I was around 13 in the mid-'90s. I plan to go back to it and develop mastery. A few years before 2010 I participated in a Shorin Ryu Karate dojo I was interested in joining and at some point while I was struggling to do the FORMS I was doing for literally the first time ever and I overheard a potbellied "master" coaching a little boy after I casually did a back kick that was pretty much a "Scorpion Kick" but straight back, "If he can do it, it MUST be easy." No one said anything positive to me, it was only years later when I thought of that as a backhanded "compliment". That was the LAST time I went there. I looked at the intro and even I don't kick like that and even I would be able to do the kick at 0:09. Then again maybe I'm an OUTLIER/exception. Oh how silly of me, being able to do something ONCE isn't what matters, it's doing it 10K times that count.
Thank you :) I have a blue belt exam coming up. Second tip certainly is something I have to practice more. And to remember to stretch daily as I have never been flexible in my life... I have a hard time just reaching the chin, which to me is a huge accomplishment as I used to have a hard time just touching my knees with my arms. Taekwondo has not only helped me a lot for my health, flexibility, confidence but the exercise and routine has helped me get through loss. Everyone should practice a martial art, it's hard to fathom the amount of good it brings us.
Very informative video on the improvement of various kicks. I had studied Moo Duk Kwon Tae kwon do for seven years... long enough to attain my 1rst Dan. I would have liked to continue, but my daughter's college education was a major priority at the same time, so I decided that her career was worth more than my training. I never really mastered the flying jump back kick due to back problems, but man! I could execute a sliding side kick and a 'horseback' kick that kept my opponents backed up during free sparring! Alas! Now I'm much too old for serious, physical aspects of martial art activity, but.... the knowledge is still within me!
Your knee most of the time always chambers straight up in front of you. You never go side on. That comes after the initial chamber of the knee, as you then start to straighten the leg. A side kick still has the chamber of the knee come straight up in front of you, then you twist the hips as you straighten the leg.
Im trying to self teach taekwondo, i do plan on eventually taking classes, but i have to clear up a few health issues before i can. Thank you for this, im just now getting flexible enough to kick high enough, but my form was trash, this helps✨
Most Welcome from India🇮🇳🇮🇳 and Thank you very much brother... 🎉🎉🎉 now I am new learning kongfu from American🇺🇸🇺🇸 master... And from today, I want to learn from you... That's why subscribed your UA-cam channel.. Thanks a lot again.. ❤❤❤
@@harshitaswami3816 U could, but I wouldn't rlly recommend cause there still r things u can only learn from man to man coach. Most of all, u could hurt urself if u rn't taught right. Find a proper dojo near ur house, it shouldn't be that expensive.
I am 65 years old I would like to thank you for sharing your wisdom in the martial arts I’m training in tang so do for over four years now I am not able to make to classes during the week because of my work schedule but have used your tips for my continue training at home.
Thank you for the kind words. I have some free follow along routines for the Tang Soo Do forms on my site www.tkdguide.com that you might be interested in.
Thanks for the great information! I am 26 and interested in taekwondo. I trained as a child for 2 years. Am I too old to come back and be a good taekwondo player?
Best advice. Just get up from the couch and move your ass in a Taekwondo dojo and learn from the master 3 -5 years in learning process 4 - 8 hours per week it's a great start. Watching videos in UA-cam it's great for an advanced learner but someone who wants to start, it's better go to the tkd dojo.
Can I ask why you have a red part on your belt? some countries do something different with their belts that why I am asking (black belt teacher from the Netherlands here)
If you translate it directly it would be something like “the way of martial skill”. My instructor uses it as an umbrella term for all the martial arts content that he teaches.
@@tkdguide strenght in balance? What to do ....i did strenght exercices and static dynamic 3 years ago ...now i feel my self tired especially my hips and hamstring.....what to do with strenght in balances?
@@tkdguide I mean how long does it take you to learn all the skills because I'm in a dangerous neighborhood full of dangerous guys and I have to learn how to defend myself
@@marwagharbi4065 I’m sorry you are in that situation. Learning to fight takes a long time and a lot of energy. It would probably take less time and less energy to do what you need to do to leave that neighborhood.
AQ! Yeah! You have to start with low kicks to get to the high kick's. Not everyone is physically fit to do this type of exercise training, right away. Great advice, for physically fit martial artists or training. Thanq's!🫶👍
He's good but you only tighten just before impact or you are too rigid. Not a negative critique but probably worth mentioning so you don't wear yourself out or flag your attacks . To fight is to look less than you are. Relax and get used to combat. Be aware that there are other ways to do a side kick or roundhouse that are faster and do not flag your intentions. This man knows this and has probably uploaded options or will. If you want to be an effective fighter, do not rely on Taekwondo alone. It is awesome for your legs but yo must have a ground game, such as BJJ and implicitly you must know how to box. Once you get in close your hands and wrestling skills will save you. If your life is in danger, have no boundaries . Do not be afraid to fight, you have nothing left to loose and your life might depend on it! Also, maybe study some Kung foo witch is very much based on rounder techniques and thus... very good for understating yourself. Be aware that most people do not know how to fight, angry people are often drunk. Practice studiously and you will usually come out on top, regardless of stature. Avoid fights, but stand up for yourself and others that cannot defend themselves . Do not create problems when you can just walk away.
Well I am not fexible at all, like i am unable to raise legs that high for side kick (no lateral fexibility)...can someone plz suggest me something ? Should i consultant a doc or try to improve my fexibility with exercises ?
Also tightness is not a full picture for me I was always too tight. when I became looser my punches greatly improved. you should tighten your arm only when you make the contact with the target. while doing a side kick it makes more sense to be little bit tighter but also latter on not at the very beginning of the kick.
@@tkdguide I don't know if this is just a question or once again you telling me that no one wants to hear what I have to say. but it doesn't matter to me if you don't want to hear it I will say or not say whatever I wish nor do I really care if you think I'm a waste of space because if that is your opinion then your opinion doesn't matter.
They higher kicks seem to have started once Gigō Funakoshi witnessed the French military using Savate when the traveled to Japan. Prior to that most kicks were lower kicks.
