After talking about the sport in general, its benefits over team sports and its belt system…I thought it would be a good idea to show you some interesting clips to illustrate what Tae Kwon Do is all about.
First, to demonstrate how young training can begin check out this video! I often times enjoy watching the children’s class for the show of force these kids can put on!
In this video you witness the counter spinning hook kick. It’s my personal favorite technique next to the counter back kick. Plus, it’s become a favorite move at competition for its ballistic force and ability to produce a knockout. Keep in mind, head kicks are worth 3 points as it is (equal to 3 body blows).
And here is a mix of sparring and breaking techniques (complete with the before mentioned counter spin). I chose a clip with punchy music…just for you.
